A Strigolactone Signal Inhibits Secondary Lateral Root Development in Rice.

ABSTRACT: Strigolactones (SLs) and their derivatives are plant hormones that have recently been identified as regulators of primary lateral root (LR) development. However, whether SLs mediate secondary LR production in rice (Oryza sativa L.), and how SLs and auxin interact in this process, remain unclear. In this study, the SL-deficient (dwarf10) and SL-insensitive (dwarf3) rice mutants and lines overexpressing OsPIN2 (OE) were used to investigate secondary LR development. The effects of exogenous GR24 (a synthetic SL analogue), 1-naphthylacetic acid (NAA; an exogenous auxin), 1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA; a polar auxin transport inhibitor), and abamine (a synthetic SL inhibitor) on rice secondary LR development were investigated.
