| Description | This cluster of papers explores the role of strigolactones, a group of plant hormones, in signaling pathways related to shoot branching, root development, mycorrhizal symbiosis, and interactions with parasitic plants. It investigates their biosynthesis, perception, and effects on plant responses to environmental stresses. The research also delves into the molecular mechanisms and evolutionary significance of strigolactone signaling. |
