Strigolactone synthesis is ancestral in land plants, but canonical strigolactone signalling is a flowering plant innovation

Abstract Background Strigolactones (SLs) are an important class of carotenoid-derived signalling molecule in plants, which function both as exogenous signals in the rhizosphere and as endogenous plant hormones.
