Strigolactones (SLs) were originally isolated from plant root exudates as germination stimulants
for root parasitic plants of the family Orobanchaceae, including witchweeds (Striga spp.), …

• Both root parasitic plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi take advantage of
strigolactones, released from plant roots as signal molecules in the initial communication with host …

Strigolactones (SLs) stimulate seed germination of root parasitic plants and induce hyphal
branching of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the rhizosphere. In addition, they have been …

Strigolactones are a group of plant compounds of diverse but related chemical structures.
They have similar bioactivity across a broad range of plant species, act to optimize plant …

Major strigolactones (SLs) produced by rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare) and tobacco (Nicotiana
tabacum L. cv. Michinoku No. 1) were purified and their stereochemical structures …

Strigolactones (SLs) regulate important aspects of plant growth and stress responses. Many
diverse types of SL occur in plants, but a complete picture of biosynthesis remains unclear. …

… Kaori Yoneyama, XX, and TN designed the study. Kaori Yoneyama planned and carried
out experiments and analyzed data. Kaori Yoneyama, Koichi Yoneyama, and TB wrote the …

New roles for the recently identified group of plant hormones, the strigolactones, are currently
under active investigation. One of their key roles is to regulate plant symbioses. These …

Strigolactones released from plant roots induce hyphal branching of symbiotic arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and germination of root parasitic weeds, Striga and Orobanche spp. We …

Plant derived sesquiterpene strigolactones, which have previously been characterized as
germination stimulants for root parasitic plants, have recently been identified as the branching …
