Abstract excerpt
Strigolactones (SLs) are plant-specialized butenolide signaling molecules, recognized as endogenous plant hormones, that control plant development and environmental adaptation. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the repressor D53-like SMXLs regulate the expression of a vast number of genes in an EAR-motif-dependent manner to mediate SL signaling. However, it remains unclear how the SMXLs are recruited to...
