Molecular Characterization of the Dwarf53 Gene Homolog in Dasypyrum Villosum

open access: yesPlants, 2020
The Dwarf53 (D53) gene, first studied in rice, encodes a protein that acts as a repressor of the physiological response of plants to strigolactones—substances that regulate the activity of axillary buds, stem growth, branching of roots and other ...

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase (CCD) Genes in Sorghum Alters Strigolactone Biosynthesis and Plant Biotic Interactions

open access: yesPhytobiomes Journal, 2023
Strigolactones are a group of small molecules that play critical roles in plant developmental processes and root biotic interactions. Strigolactones are agronomically important due to their role as a signal for the germination of a parasitic weed (Striga

A New Series of Carlactonoic Acid Based Strigolactone Analogs for Fundamental and Applied Research

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Strigolactones (SLs) are a group of carotenoid derived plant hormones that play a key role in establishing plant architecture and adapting it to environmental changes, and are involved in plants response to biotic and abiotic stress.

Strigolactone Signaling and Evolution

open access: yesAnnual Review of Plant Biology, 2017
Strigolactones are a structurally diverse class of plant hormones that control many aspects of shoot and root growth. Strigolactones are also exuded by plants into the rhizosphere, where they promote symbiotic interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and germination of root parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae family.

The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the competition between invasive and native plants depends on the soil nitrogen form

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant invasion and nitrogen (N) deposition are escalating global change threats. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized as critical mediators of plant invasion success, largely through their role in enhancing host nutrient acquisition.

Strigolactones as plant hormones

open access: yes, 2019
In the last decade strigolactones have been recognized as a novel type of plant hormones. They are involved in the control of key developmental processes such as lateral shoot outgrowth and leaf and root development, among others.

Effects of exogenous SLs on growth and physiological characteristics of flue-cured tobacco seedlings under different degrees of drought stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
BackgroundDrought stress severely affects global crop yields, reduces water availability, and hinders growth. Strigolactones can alleviate damage caused by various abiotic stresses in plants; however, limited research has been conducted on their ability ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Effect of strigolactone on growth, photosynthetic efficiency, antioxidant activity, and osmolytes accumulation in different maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids grown under drought stress

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2023
Drought alters plant physiology, morphology, and biochemical pathways, necessitating effective mitigation strategies. Strigolactones (SLs) are phytohormones known to enhance plant growth under abiotic stress.
