Journal ArticleDOI
Specialisation within the DWARF14 protein family confers distinct responses to karrikins and strigolactones in Arabidopsis
Mark T. Waters,David C. Nelson,Adrian Scaffidi,Gavin R. Flematti,Yueming K. Sun,Kingsley W. Dixon,Steven M. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: The results support the existence of an endogenous, butenolide-based signalling mechanism that is distinct from the strigolactone pathway, providing a molecular basis for the adaptive response of plants to smoke.
Journal ArticleDOI
F-box protein MAX2 has dual roles in karrikin and strigolactone signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana
David C. Nelson,Adrian Scaffidi,Elizabeth A. Dun,Mark T. Waters,Gavin R. Flematti,Kingsley W. Dixon,Christine A. Beveridge,Emilio L. Ghisalberti,Steven M. Smith +8 more
TL;DR: Karrikin signaling requires the F-box protein MAX2, which also mediates responses to the structurally-related strigolactone family of phytohormones, and it is shown that plants can distinguish between these signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rice cytochrome P450 MAX1 homologs catalyze distinct steps in strigolactone biosynthesis
Yanxia Zhang,Aalt D. J. van Dijk,Adrian Scaffidi,Gavin R. Flematti,Manuel Hofmann,Tatsiana Charnikhova,Francel W.A. Verstappen,Jo Hepworth,Sander van der Krol,Ottoline Leyser,Steven M. Smith,Binne Zwanenburg,Salim Al-Babili,Carolien Ruyter-Spira,Harro J. Bouwmeester +14 more
TL;DR: It is reported that two members of CYP711 enzymes can catalyze two distinct steps in SL biosynthesis, identifying the first enzymes involved in B-C ring closure and a subsequent structural diversification step of SLs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strigolactone Hormones and Their Stereoisomers Signal through Two Related Receptor Proteins to Induce Different Physiological Responses in Arabidopsis
Adrian Scaffidi,Mark T. Waters,Yueming K. Sun,Brian W. Skelton,Kingsley W. Dixon,Emilio L. Ghisalberti,Gavin R. Flematti,Steven M. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: The results support the conclusion that KAI2-dependent signaling does not respond to canonical SLs and the use of specific stereoisomers might provide valuable information about the specific perception systems operating in different plant tissues, parasitic weed seeds, and arbuscular mycorrhizae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral branching oxidoreductase acts in the final stages of strigolactone biosynthesis in Arabidopsis
Philip B. Brewer,Kaori Yoneyama,Fiona Filardo,Emma Meyers,Adrian Scaffidi,Tancred Frickey,Kohki Akiyama,Yoshiya Seto,Elizabeth A. Dun,Julia E. Cremer,Stephanie C. Kerr,Mark T. Waters,Gavin R. Flematti,Michael G. Mason,Georg F. Weiller,Shinjiro Yamaguchi,Takahito Nomura,Steven M. Smith,Steven M. Smith,Koichi Yoneyama,Christine A. Beveridge +20 more
TL;DR: Using transcriptomics and reverse genetics, a previously uncharacterized gene that encodes a 2-oxoglutarate and Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase involved in strigolactone production downstream of MAX1 is discovered and identified as LATERAL BRANCHING OXIDOREDUCTASE (LBO).
