Very recently, strigolactones have been conclusively identified as phytohormones. The progresses achieved in this field are culminating in the identification of the molecular receptors involved in the signal transduction mechanism. The exact mechanism of the mode of action of strigolactones still remains to be fully elucidated and we were interested to gain some insight into the mechanism of action of strigolactones by selectively modifying the reactivity of the lactone C-ring. Therefore, we report here the synthesis of strigolactams 1 and 16 and their surprisingly good activity on the germination of Orobanche cumana parasitic weed seeds.

Pseudomonads are well-known for their plant growth-promoting properties and biocontrol capabilities against microbial pathogens. Recently, their potential to protect crops from parasitic plants has garnered attention. This study investigates the potential of different Pseudomonas strains to inhibit broomrape growth and to protect host plants against weed infestation.

Background: Phelipanche ramosa L. (Pomel) is a noxious parasitic weed in field and vegetable crops in Mediterranean countries. Control of this pest is complex and far from being achieved, and new environmentally-friendly strategies are being sought.

Phtheirospermum japonicum, a member of the Orobanchaceae family, is a facultative root parasitic plant that can survive without parasitizing the host. In contrast, obligate root parasitic plants, such as Striga and Orobanche, which are also members of the Orobanchaceae family, cannot survive in the absence of the host. The germination of obligate root parasitic plants is typically induced by host root-derived strigolactones (SLs) at very low concentrations.

Article Synopsis
- Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones that manage shoot branching and trigger germination in harmful root parasitic weeds, posing risks to agriculture.
- SL agonists like debranones show promise in promoting suicidal germination of these weeds, particularly in crops like rice.
- The study found that certain debranones, especially those with specific chemical modifications, effectively induce germination in these weeds, outperforming a known SL compound (GR24) in biological assays.
