Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones that suppress shoot branching through perception by their receptor protein DWARF 14 (D14). The artificial regulation of SL signaling has been considered a potent agricultural technique because plant architecture is strongly related to crop yield. In this communication, we describe the development of a small-molecule D14 inhibitor that functions at sub-micromolar levels.
