Evolution of strigolactone receptors by gradual neo-functionalization of KAI2 paralogues

Evolution of strigolactone receptors by gradual neo-functionalization of KAI2 paralogues

Abstract Background Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones that control many aspects of plant growth. The SL signalling mechanism is homologous to that of karrikins (KARs), smoke-derived compounds that stimulate seed germination. In angiosperms, the SL receptor is an α/β-hydrolase known...
