...Madeleine Seale; Tom Bennett; Ottoline Leyser The degree of shoot branching in Arabidopsis is determined by the activation of axillary buds. Bud activity is regulated by diverse environmental and developmental signals, often mediated via plant hormones, including auxin, strigolactone and cytokinin...

...Mauricio Lopez-Obando; Yasmine Ligerot; Sandrine Bonhomme; François-Didier Boyer; Catherine Rameau Strigolactones (SLs), first identified for their role in parasitic and symbiotic interactions in the rhizosphere, constitute the most recently discovered group of plant hormones. They are best known...

...Mark T. Waters; David C. Nelson; Adrian Scaffidi; Gavin R. Flematti; Yueming K. Sun; Kingsley W. Dixon; Steven M. Smith Karrikins are butenolides derived from burnt vegetation that stimulate seed germination and enhance seedling responses to light. Strigolactones are endogenous butenolide hormones...
