Use of strigolactone for stress relief and increased productivity in high-yielding environments
… food production to reach its fullest potential. Strigolactones have recently been classified as plant growth regulators, as they have been implicated in the regulation of shoot inhibition and root growth and development. The objective of this study was to determine the ability of a strigolactone …

Understanding the protein complexes involved in the reception of the plant hormone Strigolactone
Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormone that regulate the development of branching in plants. In petunia, SL is perceived by its receptor, DAD2, an α/β hydrolase fold protein. This receptor also functions as a slow enzyme that hydrolyses SL into two non-active by-products. The hydrolytic …

The role of auxin transport in the control of shoot branching
… bud outgrowth, whereas cytokinin promotes it. Strigolactones also inhibit bud outgrowth, by changing properties of the auxin transport network, increasing the competition between buds. This occurs by modulating access to the polar auxin transport stream (PATS) in the main stem. The PATS …

Exploring the genetic basis of germination specificity in the parasitic plants Orobanche cernua and O. cumana
… class of germination stimulants is the strigolactones (SLs), although some species respond to non-SL compounds, such as dehydrocostus lactone (DCL). Recent work indicates that SLs are perceived by members of the KARRIKIN-INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2) gene family, and suggests that within parasitic …

Exploring host-parasitic plant interactions by examining mechanisms of resistance and susceptibility
… of parasite germination stimulants called strigolactones from roots of the wild carrots. Additional post-attachment resistance was also documented. The chapter III evaluates responses of wild and cultivated carrot (D. glaber, D. carota cv. 0493B) to C. gronovii. While D. glaber was …
