Abstract

Strigolactones (SLs) were originally isolated from plant root exudates as germination stimulants for root parasitic plants of the family Orobanchaceae, including witchweeds (Striga spp.), broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.), and Alectra spp., and so were regarded as detrimental to the producing plants. Most of these root parasites cause devastating damages to agricultural production in particular in developing countries, and their effective and economically feasible control measures have not yet been established. In this review, the unique host-dependent lifecycle of, discovery of SLs as germination stimulants for, and possible contribution of SLs to the host recognition of root parasitic plants are summarized.
