Key message Most known phytohormones regulate moss development. We present a
comprehensive view of the synthesis and signaling pathways for the most investigated of …

Since the early days of plant hormone research, bryophytes have attracted studies on
developmental and reproductive processes. It is a striking characteristic of bryophytes that …

Strigolactones (SLs), long known as butenolide rhizospheric signals, have been recognized
since 2008 as a class of hormones regulating many aspects of plant development. Many …

Mosses present several advantages for the analysis of phytohormone physiology. Their
enormous regeneration capacity, the possibility of controlling their whole life cycle under in …

The moss Physcomitrella patens has become a powerful model system in modern plant
biology. Highly standardized cell culture techniques, as well as the necessary tools for …

The biosynthesis of the recently identified novel class of plant hormones, strigolactones, is
up-regulated upon phosphate deficiency in many plant species. It is generally accepted that …

Strigolactones (SLs) constitute a group of carotenoid-derived phytohormones with
butenolide moieties. These hormones are involved in various functions, including regulation …

From the main groups of hormones in higher plants only auxins and cytokinins are
documented as natural signal substances in mosses. Not only do both hormone groups exist …

Phytohormones are small chemicals critical for plant development and adaptation to a
changing environment. Strigolactones (SLs), carotenoid-derived small signalling molecules …

Strigolactones (SLs) are apocarotenoid phytohormones synthesized from carotenoid
precursors. They are produced most abundantly in roots for exudation into the rhizosphere …
