A mathematical model for strigolactone biosynthesis in plants

Strigolactones mediate plant development, trigger symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, are abundant in 80% of the plant kingdom and help plants gain resistance to environmental stressors. They also induce germination of parasitic plant seeds that are endemic to various continents, such as Or...

In addition, our experiments suggest that engineering the pathway to modulate the production of strigolactones could be most easily achieved by increasing the flux of b-carotenes going into the biosynthetic pathway. Finally, we find that changing the ratio of alternative strigolactones produced by the pathway can be done by changing the activity of the enzymes after the flux branching points.This work was partially funded by PROSTRIG, an ERANET project from FACEJPI (PCI2019-103382, MICIUN) and project PI20/00377 (FIS).

description Strigolactones mediate plant development, trigger symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, are abundant in 80% of the plant kingdom and help plants gain resistance to environmental stressors. They also induce germination of parasitic plant seeds that are endemic to various continents, such as Orobanche in Europe or Asia and Striga in Africa. The genes involved in the early stages of strigolactones biosynthesis are known in several plants. The regulatory structure and the latter parts of the pathway, where flux branching occurs to produce alternative strigolactones, are less well-understood. Here we present a computational study that collects the available experimental evidence and proposes alternative biosynthetic pathways that are consistent with that evidence.
