Probing strigolactone perception mechanisms with rationally designed small-molecule agonists stimulating germination of root parasitic weeds

Strigolactone agonists could potentially help control noxious weeds by promoting suicidal germination. Here the authors describe a series of small molecule agonists that stimulate germination via the Striga ShHTL7 receptor and show that stereochemistry and hydrolysis-independent signalling mediate p...
