Abstract excerpt
Strigolactones (SLs) are rhizosphere communication chemicals. Recent studies of highly branched mutants revealed that SL or its metabolites work as a phytohormone to inhibit shoot branching. When SLs are exogenously applied to the rice d10-1 mutant that has a highly branched phenotype caused by a...
