The rhizosphere is a complex physical and chemical interface between plants and their
underground environment, both biotic and abiotic. Plants exude a large number of …

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

Strigolactones are phytohormones with many attributed roles in development, and more
recently in responses to environmental stress. We will review evidence of the latter in the …

Strigolactones (SLs) regulate many developmental processes, including shoot-
branching/tillering, and mediate rhizospheric interactions. SLs originate from carlactone (CL) …

Strigolactone is the collective name for compounds containing a butenolide as a part of their
structure, first discovered as compounds that induce seed germination of root parasitic …

Strigolactones (SLs) act as regulators of plant architecture as well as signals in rhizospheric
communications. Reduced availability of minerals, particularly phosphorus, leads to an …

Carotenoids are photoprotectant pigments and precursors of hormones such as
strigolactones (SL). Carotenoids are produced in plastids from geranylgeranyl diphosphate …

Strigolactones (SLs) are a new class of phytohormones that not only act as signalling
molecules with external rhizospheric fungus and stimulate the seed germination of root …

Canonical strigolactones (SLs), such as orobanchol, consist of a tricyclic lactone ring (ABC-
ring) connected to a methylbutenolide (D-ring). Tomato plants have been reported to …

Societal Impact Statement Parasitic witchweeds (Striga species) pose a serious threat to
food security in Africa, attacking cereal grains and legumes. Chemicals released from the …
