AN IMPROVED MESOCOTYL ELONGATION ASSAY FOR THE RAPID IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF STRIGOLACTONE-RELATED RICE MUTANTS

An Improved Mesocotyl Elongation Assay for the Rapid Identification and Characterization of Strigolactone-Related Rice Mutants

Strigolactones (SLs) constitute an important class of plant hormones involved in diverse developmental activities in plant growth and host-parasite interaction.Although substantial progress has been made to understand this pathway, the mechanism of action is still elusive especially with its interaction with other phytohormones and downstream targe
