Abstract

Strigolactones (SLs) and gibberellins (GAs) are plant hormones that share some unique aspects of their perception and signalling pathways. Recent discoveries indicate that these two phytohormones may act together in processes of plant development and that SL biosynthesis is regulated by GAs.

Keywords: biosynthesis; gibberellins; hormones; signalling; strigolactones.
