Strigolactones Targeting Plant–Microbe Dialogues From Roots to Soil: Unlocking Pathways for Sustainable Agriculture

Strigolactones (SLs) are phytohormones derived from carotenoids that influence various aspects of plant growth, development, and the ability of plants to respond to environmental changes and microbial interactions. Initially categorized as shoot branching inhibitors, SLs are now recognized as crucial rhizospheric signaling molecules that govern nutrient availability, hormonal control, and microbial interactions. Despite significant progress in SL biology, a cohesive synthesis connecting SL molecular signaling, rhizosphere communication, and stress tolerance remains fragmented, hindering their practical use in sustainable agriculture. A more comprehensive understanding of their synthesis process…
