This review focuses on the evolution of plant hormone signaling pathways. Like the
chemical nature of the hormones themselves, the signaling pathways are diverse. Therefore …

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 …

Karrikins are smoke-derived compounds presumed to mimic endogenous signalling
molecules (KAI2-ligand, KL), whose signalling pathway is closely related to that of …

Abstract Strigolactones (SLs) and karrikins (KARs) are related butenolide signaling
molecules that control plant development. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), they are …

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 …

Abstract AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORS (ARFs) are plant-specific transcription factors (TFs)
that couple perception of the hormone auxin to gene expression programs essential to all …

Drought causes substantial reductions in crop yields worldwide. Therefore, we set out to
identify new chemical and genetic factors that regulate drought resistance in Arabidopsis …

Most plants associate with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that facilitate soil
nutrient acquisition. Prior to contact, partner recognition triggers reciprocal genetic …

Karrikins (KARs) are butenolides found in smoke that can influence germination and
seedling development of many plants. The KAR signaling mechanism is hypothesized to be …

Plant stem cell niches, the meristems, require long-distance transport of energy metabolites
and signaling molecules along the phloem tissue. However, currently it is unclear how …
