Strigolactones as Part of the Plant Defence System

Marek Marzec. Trends Plant Sci. 2016 Nov.

Abstract

Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones, described as regulators of plant growth and development. Recently, it was proposed that these hormones might also be involved in the biotic stress response. However, SLs do not have a universal role in plant protection, instead only playing a part in resistance to specific pathogens.

Keywords: biotic stress; plant resistance; strigolactones.
