Abstract excerpt
Many root parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae use host-derived strigolactones (SLs) as germination cues. This adaptation facilitates attachment to a host and is particularly important for the success of obligate parasitic weeds that cause substantial crop losses globally. Parasite seeds sense SLs through 'divergent' KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2d)/HYPOSENSITIVE TO LIGHT α/β-hydrolases that have undergone...
