Strigolactones in the Rhizosphere: Friend or Foe?
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2017 Strigolactones are well-known endogenous plant hormones that play a major role in planta by influencing different physiological processes. Moreover, ex planta, strigolactones are important signaling molecules in root exudates and function as host ...

The Plant Cell, 2011 Summary (With Shinjiro Yamaguchi) Strigolactones (SLs) are multifunctional hormones that contribute to the control of shoot branching, and serve as signals between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and between host plants and parasitic Striga plants.

Chemotropic Assay for Testing Fungal Response to Strigolactones and Strigolactone-Like Compounds
, 2021 Current knowledge on the mechanism of strigolactones (SLs) as signaling molecules during specific interactions in the rhizosphere is mainly related to the control of germination of parasitic weed seeds and hyphal branching of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

Trends in Plant Science, 2013 The strigolactones are rhizosphere signaling molecules as well as a new class of plant hormones with a still increasing number of biological functions being uncovered. Here, we review a recent major breakthrough in our understanding of strigolactone biosynthesis, which has revealed the unexpected simplicity of the originally postulated complex pathway.

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2013 Strigolactones are plant signaling molecules that induce germination of parasitic plant seeds, initiate host plant - arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus symbiosis and act as plant hormones controlling shoot branching and root architecture. To date four unique strigolactones (e.g., orobanchol, didehydroorobanchol isomers 1 and 2 and the aromatic strigolactone

Strigolactones: Destruction-Dependent Perception? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 Strigolactones control many aspects of plant growth and development, but the active form(s) of strigolactones and their mode of action at the molecular level are unknown. A new study provides evidence that an α/β-fold protein plays a central multifunctional role in strigolactone metabolism, perception and signalling.

Drivers of strigolactone diversity: P450s in strigolactone biosynthesis
Journal of Integrative Plant BiologyABSTRACT Strigolactones, as signaling molecules and plant hormones, play essential roles in rhizosphere communication and plant growth and development. Strigolactones are structurally highly diversified, suggesting their biosynthesis is highly complex, with a range of different enzymes involved.

Strigolactones stimulate arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi by activating mitochondria.
PLoS Biology, 2006 The association of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi with plant roots is the oldest and ecologically most important symbiotic relationship between higher plants and microorganisms, yet the mechanism by which these fungi detect the presence of a plant ...

Strigolactones, karrikins and beyond
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2017 AbstractThe plant hormones strigolactones are synthesized from carotenoids and signal via the α/β hydrolase DWARF 14 (D14) and the F‐box protein MORE AXILLARY GROWTH 2 (MAX2). Karrikins, molecules produced upon fire, share MAX2 for signalling, but depend on the D14 paralog KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE 2 (KAI2) for perception with strong evidence that the MAX2 ...
