Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Strigolactones repress nodule development and senescence in pea
, 2023 Strigolactones are a class of phytohormones that are involved in many different plant developmental processes, including the rhizobium-legume nodule symbiosis.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rice is the staple crop for more than half of the global population, and improving grain yield, grain quality, and stress resistance remain central goals of modern rice breeding. Among current precision breeding strategies, genome editing has created new opportunities for crop improvement, but its success depends heavily on the selection of ...

Regulation of phosphate uptake by strigolactones [PDF]
, 2015 This Bachelor thesis is focused on the reactions of plants to low levels of available phosphorus, which is essential element for plant nutrition. In the context of plant stress, plant hormones strigolactones play very important role.

The relationship between strigolactones and Striga hermonthica infection in cereals
, 2012 Cereal production in Africa is under increasing constraint due to the obligate, out-crossing, hemiparasitic weed Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth, a member of the Scrophulariaceae family.

Emerging roles of strigolactones in plant responses toward biotic stress
, 2022 Strigolactones are plant hormones that regulate plant growth and development, particularly in response to nutrient deficiency. However, they are also exuded from roots into the rhizosphere to promote symbiosis with beneficial microorganisms.

The Many Models of Strigolactone Signaling
Trends in Plant Science, 2020 Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones involved in several biological processes that are of great agricultural concern. While initiating plant-fungal symbiosis, SLs also trigger germination of parasitic plants that pose a major threat to farming. In vascular plants, SLs control shoot branching, which is linked to crop yield. SL research has

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.
