Strigolactones (SLs), which are biosynthesized mainly in roots, modulate various aspects of
plant growth and development. Here, we review recent research on the role of SLs and their …

Strigolactones (SLs) are a unique and novel class of phytohormones that regulate numerous
processes of growth and development in plants. Besides their endogenous functions as …

Plant hormones are small molecules that play versatile roles in regulating plant growth,
development, and responses to the environment. Classic methodologies, including genetics …

The Striga, particularly S. he rmonthica, problem has become a major threat to food security,
exacerbating hunger and poverty in many African countries. A number of Striga control …

Chemical signals known as strigolactones (SLs) were discovered more than 50 years ago
as host-derived germination stimulants of parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae …

Abstract Background Certain Fusarium exometabolites have been reported to inhibit seed
germination of the cereal-parasitizing witchweed, Striga hermonthica, in vitro. However, it is …

Strigolactones (SLs) are a new class of phytohormones that not only act as signalling
molecules with external rhizospheric fungus and stimulate the seed germination of root …

Small-molecule hormones play central roles in plant development, ranging from cellular
differentiation and organ formation to developmental response instruction in changing …

Strigolactones, a class of plant hormones with multiple functions, mediate plant–plant and
plant–microorganism communications in the rhizosphere. In this study, we developed potent …

The pernicious parasitism exhibited by root parasitic weeds such as Orobanche and Striga
poses substantial peril to agricultural productivity and global food security. This deleterious …
