Abstract excerpt
Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones involved in development and environmental responses, but their role in heavy metal stress tolerance has not been fully characterized. We examined how SL perception affects barley (Hordeum vulgare) responses to cadmium (Cd) or zinc (Zn) toxicity by comparing wild-type (WT) plants and the SL-insensitive hvd14.d mutant. Phenotypic, ionomic, and transcriptomic analyses revealed...
