The apocarotenoid metabolite zaxinone regulates growth and strigolactone biosynthesis in rice

Strigolactone and abscisic acid are carotenoid-derived plant hormones. Here the authors describe the identification of zaxinone, a further apocarotenoid metabolite, which down-regulates strigolactone content and is required for normal growth and development in rice.
