Strigolactones (SLs) are apocarotenoid phytohormones synthesized from carotenoid precursors. They are produced most abundantly in roots for exudation into the rhizosphere to cope with mineral nutrient starvation through support of root symbionts ...

Unraveling new roles of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthases and phytoene synthases in tomato
[ES] Los carotenoides son compuestos isoprenoides esenciales para la fotosíntesis, la fotoprotección, y como precursores de reguladores del crecimiento como el ácido abscísico (ABA) y las estrigolactonas (SL). En algunas plantas, como el tomate (Solanum lycopersicum), los carotenoides también funcionan como pigmentos que dan color a las flores y a los ...
