Abstract excerpt
SMAX1-LIKE (SMXL) proteins, previously linked to strigolactone and karrikin signalling, play diverse and partially redundant roles in plant development. The divergent SMXL4 superclade-comprising SMXL3, SMXL4 and SMXL5-is not subject to strigolactone- or karrikin-dependent proteolysis. Although these proteins have been associated with phloem differentiation and primary root growth in Arabidopsis thaliana, their...
