Background: Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones that play various roles in plant development. The chemical stability of SLs depends on the solvent, the pH, and the presence of nucleophiles. Hydrolysis leads to detachment of the butenolide ring, and plays a crucial role in the initial stages of the signal-transduction process occurring between the receptor and the SL signaling molecule.
Results: To date, two different mechanisms have been proposed for SL hydrolysis. Results obtained from kinetic, thermodynamic, and mass spectral data for the reaction between the widely used synthetic SL analog GR24 and seven different nucleophiles demonstrate that the reaction proceeds via the Michael addition-elimination mechanism.
Conclusion: This study provides valuable information on the chemical stability of GR24 in different plant growth media and buffers. Such information is valuable for scientists using GR24 treatments to study SL-regulated processes in plants. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Strigolactones (SLs) are known to regulate plant architecture formation, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) responses, and secondary metabolism, but their effects in tea plants remain unclear. We demonstrated that the application of a bioactive SL analogue GR24 either to tea roots or leaves initially stimulated but later inhibited catechins, theanine, and caffeine biosynthesis. GR24 treatment also promoted the accumulation of flavonols and insoluble proanthocyanidins in a time- and dose-dependent manner.

The D14 protein, an alpha/beta hydrolase, is a key receptor in the strigolactone (SL) signaling pathway. However, the response of VvD14 to SL signals and its role in grapevine root architecture formation remain unclear. This study demonstrated that VvD14c was highly expressed in grapevine tissues and fruit stages than other VvD14 isoforms.

Research has demonstrated that strigolactones (SLs) mediate plant disease resistance; however, the basal mechanism is unclear. Here, we provide key genetic evidence supporting how SLs mediate plant disease resistance. Exogenous application of the SL analog, -GR24, increased resistance to virulent .
