Carotenoids are isoprenoid metabolites synthesized de novo in all photosynthetic
organisms. Carotenoids are essential for plants with diverse functions in photosynthesis …

Natural carotenoids (CARs), viz. β-carotene, lutein, astaxanthin, bixin, norbixin, capsanthin,
lycopene, canthaxanthin, β-Apo-8-carotenal, zeaxanthin, and β-apo-8-carotenal-ester, are …

Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones that regulate diverse developmental processes and
environmental responses. They are also known to be root‐derived chemical signals that …

In plants, the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway (CBP) is essential for the production of
photosynthetic and protective pigments, plant hormones, and visual/olfactory attractants for …

Strigolactones (SLs) act as regulators of plant architecture as well as signals in rhizospheric
communications. Reduced availability of minerals, particularly phosphorus, leads to an …

Carotenoids are isoprenoid compounds synthesized by all photosynthetic and some non‐
photosynthetic organisms. They are essential for photosynthesis and contribute to many …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is an important carotenoid-derived phytohormone that plays essential
roles in plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses as well as in various physiological and …

Plant–plant interactions are a central driver for plant coexistence and community assembly.
Chemically mediated plant–plant interactions are represented by allelopathy and …

There have been substantial advances in our understanding of many aspects of
strigolactone regulation of branching since the discovery of strigolactones as …

Carotenoids are isoprenoid pigments synthesized by all photosynthetic organisms and
many heterotrophic microorganisms. They are equipped with a conjugated double-bond …
