Carlactone-independent seedling morphogenesis in Arabidopsis

Strigolactone hormones are derived from carotenoids via carlactone, and act through the α/β–hydrolase D14 and the F–box protein D3/MAX2 to repress plant shoot branching. While MAX2 is also necessary for normal seedling development, D14 and the known strigolactone biosynthesis genes are not, raising...
