There have been substantial advances in our understanding of many aspects of
strigolactone regulation of branching since the discovery of strigolactones as …

Rice sheath blight (ShB) disease poses a major threat to rice yield throughout the world.
However, the defense mechanisms against ShB in rice remain largely unknown. ShB …

Shoot branching is regulated by multiple signals. Previous studies have indicated that
sucrose may promote shoot branching through suppressing the inhibitory effect of the …

Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid‐derived phytohormones that regulate plant growth and
development. While root‐secreted SLs are well‐known to facilitate plant symbiosis with …

Abstract Background Strigolactones (SLs) are a diverse class of butenolide-bearing
phytohormones derived from the catabolism of carotenoids. They are associated with an …

Tillering, also known as shoot branching, is a fundamental trait for cereal crops such as rice
to produce sufficient panicle numbers. Effective tillering that guarantees successful panicle …

Vascular plants, unlike bryophytes, have a strong root-shoot dichotomy in which the tissue
systems are mutually interdependent; roots are completely dependent on shoots for …

Plant hormones regulate a myriad of plant processes, from seed germination to
reproduction, from complex organ development to microelement uptake. Much has been …

While the importance of plant water relations in determining crop response to soil water
availability is difficult to over‐emphasise, under many circumstances, plants maintain their …

Strigolactones (SLs) are the major plant hormones that play important roles in regulating
organ development and environmental stress tolerance in plants. Even though the SL …
