Yeast and bacteria together biosynthesize plant hormones for weed control: Synthetic strigolactones could also improve nutrient uptake in crops
Plants regulate their growth and development using hormones, including a group called strigolactones that prevent excessive budding and branching. For the first time, scientists led by UC Riverside have synthesized strigolactones from microbes. The work is published in the open-access journal, Science Advances. Strigolactones also help plant roots form symbiotic relationships with microorganisms that allow […]
