The present disclosure relates to a soybean plant, which is resistant to a pathogen of viral, bacterial, fungal or oomycete origin, wherein the soybean plant has a reduced level, reduced activity or complete absence of DMR6 protein as compared to a soybean plant that is not resistant to the said pathogen, in particular organisms of the kingdom Fungi or the phylum Oomycota. The present disclosure further relates to a method for obtaining a soybean plant, which is resistant to a pathogen of viral, bacterial, fungal or oomycete origin, comprising reducing the endogenous level or activity of DMR6 protein in the soybean plant. In addition, the present disclosure relates to the use of a DMR6 promoter for providing disease resistant soybean plants.
