Climbing the Branches of the Strigolactones Pathway One Discovery at a Time

Branching habit is intrinsic to every higher plant species. Consider, for example, a pine tree ( Pinus spp.) and an oak tree ( Quercus spp.). Although the characteristic architecture of each species is mainly determined by genetics, the sessile nature of plants demands a high degree of plasticity.
