Paper: “Evolution of inter-organismal strigolactone biosynthesis in seed plants.” Co-authors include Anqi Zhou*, Kaibiao Wang, and Yanran Li, UC San Diego; Annalise Kane*, Michell Santiago ...

Traditional methods to study strigolactone, in contrast, can require extracting at least 340 liters of xylem sap—the equivalent of seven or eight poplar trees. Realistically, that amount needs ...

Conversely, SlDELLA interacts with SlPIF4 to reduce its stability, preventing it from inhibiting genes involved in phosphate transport and strigolactone biosynthesis. This molecular mechanism ...
