Description
(±) Strigol is a naturally occurring compound that belongs to the family of strigolactones, a class of plant hormones and signaling molecules. Strigolactones are primarily known for their role in regulating plant development, including shoot branching, root growth, and symbiotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi. Structurally, (±) Strigol is characterized by its lactone ring and a unique configuration that enables it to interact with specific receptors in both host and parasitic plants.
