Article Synopsis
- - Strigolactones are plant hormones that influence plant growth and affect interactions with other plants and parasites, featuring a unique chemical structure made up of an ABC lactone and a D ring.
- - The study focuses on the RMS3 receptor in peas, a counterpart to the rice D14 receptor, demonstrating that it acts as a single-turnover enzyme involved in the binding and processing of strigolactones.
- - Researchers discovered that RMS3 forms a covalent bond with the D ring, which is crucial for its bioactivity, indicating a new mechanism where the receptor creates its own ligand through an irreversible enzymatic reaction.
