Deskripsi

HTL and D14 receptors perceive the structurally similar signaling compounds karrikin and strigolactone. Here, the authors show that ShD14 and a divergent clade of ShHTLs from Strigae capable of recognizing strigolact are capable of recognizing strigolactone and provide structural insights into the evolution of ligand specificity.
