Abstract excerpt
Abscisic acid (ABA) and strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived plant hormones with important roles in plant physiological responses. Abscisic acid is involved in drought stress responses and maintaining seed dormancy, whereas SLs are biosynthesized under nutrient-poor conditions and affect plant branching and germination of root parasitic plants. Both ABA and SLs are synthesized from β-carotene via pathways...
