<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:120%">Abstact: Strigolactones (SLs) are a unique and novel class of plant hormones that regulate numerous processes of growth and development. Besides their endogenous functions in regulation, SLs are exuded by plant
roots to stimulate critical interactions with symbiotic fungi. SL perception and signal propagation are coordinated by three proteins, D3/MAX2 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase, D14 á/â hydrolase, and D53/S.
