1 Introduction Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived terpenoid lactones originally identified for their roles in stimulating seed germination of the parasitic plant witchweed (Striga lutea L.) [1] and inducing hyphal branching in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [2]. They were subsequently recognized as hormones that can inhibit branching in higher plants [3, 4]. The biosynthetic pathway and core signaling components of SLs have been well characterized.

Abstract INTRODUCTION RESULTS DISCUSSION MATERIALS AND METHODS Acknowledgments Supplementary Materials REFERENCES Information & Authors Metrics & Citations View Options References Figures Tables Media Share Abstract Doubled haploid (DH) breeding greatly accelerates crop improvement, but efficient in vivo haploid induction has remained limited primarily to maize because readily available haploid inducers are lacking in other species.

INTRODUCTION Orphan crops have been underutilized in modern agriculture and are cultivated in a limited number of regions (Ye and Fan, 2021). Compared with staple crops, orphan crops possess many beneficial traits, such as being more nutritious and well adapted to unfavorable environments, and therefore have great potential for sustainable agriculture (Yaqoob et al., 2023).
