Strigolactones (SLs) were originally isolated from plant root exudates as germination stimulants for root parasitic plants of the family Orobanchaceae, including witchweeds (Striga spp.), broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.), and Alectra spp., and so were regarded as detrimental to the producing plants. Their role as indispensable chemical signals for root colonization by symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi was subsequently unveiled, and SLs then became recognized as beneficial plant…

Strigolactones as Germination Stimulants for Root Parasitic Plants
TLDR
This review focuses on strigolactones as germination stimulants for root parasitic plants, and discusses how quantitative and qualitative differences in SL exudation among sorghum cultivars influence their susceptibility to Striga.

TLDR
Structural diversity of naturally occurring SLs and their distribution in the plant kingdom are discussed.
Strigolactones
Summary (With Shinjiro Yamaguchi) Strigolactones (SLs) are multifunctional hormones that contribute to the control of shoot branching, and serve as signals between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal…
Strigolactone Signaling and Evolution.

TLDR
Strigolactones, a group of plant secondary metabolites, play an important role as a host recognition signal for symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the rhizosphere to attract symbionts and to optimize shoot and root architecture.

Recent advances in strigolactone research: chemical and biological aspects.
TLDR
An overview of recent topics onrigolactones is provided, and new discoveries regarding its biosynthetic pathway and multiple hormonal roles in plant development and adaptive responses are highlighted.
Tomato strigolactones
TLDR
The presence of several additional strigolactones in tomato root exudates and extracts are reported, orobanchyl acetate, two 7-hydroxyorobanchol isomers, 7-oxoorobancho and two additional didehydroorobanche isomers and their possible biological relevance are discussed.
Small Molecule Toolbox for Strigolactone Biology.
TLDR
The theoretical and practical aspects of the design of small molecule probes that have been used to elucidate the functions of SLs are described and the lessons from the development of small molecules to tackle the unique questions in SL biology might be instructive in the extending field of chemical biology in plants.

Strigolactones, signals for parasitic plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
TLDR
The role of strigolactones for the formation and the regulation of the AM symbiosis as well as the possible implication of these compounds as plant signals in other soil-borne plant–microbe interactions are discussed.
Isolation of strigol, a germination stimulant for Striga asiatica, from host plants
TLDR
The isolation of strigol is reported as the major Striga seed germination stimulant in maize and proso millet rootExudates and as a minor component of the total activity in sorghum root exudates.
Strigolactones: structures and biological activities.
TLDR
Although the C-2'-(R) stereochemistry was thought to be an important structural feature for potent germination stimulation activity, 2'-epi-strigolactones were found in root exudates of tobacco, rice, pea and other plant species, indicating that at least some plants produce both epimers.

TLDR
For these three host and two parasitic plant species, the strigolactone germination stimulants are derived from the carotenoid pathway, and this finding is discussed as an explanation for some phenomena that have been observed for the host-parasitic plant interaction.
