Strigolactones Involvement in Root Development and Communications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Root Engineering

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 40))

Abstract

Strigolactones are plant hormones regulating both root and shoot development. They also have a role in plant communication in the rhizosphere. In this chapter we will present the role of strigolactones as regulators of development and growth of roots and highlight some of their properties as signals for plant interactions in the rhizosphere. SLs’ mode of action, movement in the plant and exudation, and their feedback regulation with other plant hormones, under different growth conditions and following interaction with microorganisms, will be discussed.
