Title
Strigolactones: chemical signals for fungal symbionts and parasitic weeds in plant roots.
Authors
Akiyama, Kohki; Hayashi, Hideo
Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizae are formed between >80 % of land plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. This Botanical Briefing highlights the chemical identification of strigolactones as a host-recognition signal for AM fungi, and their role in the establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizae as well as in the seed germination of parasitic weeds.
