Are karrikins involved in plant abiotic stress responses?

Trends Plant Sci. 2015 Sep;20(9):535-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tplants.2015.07.006. Epub 2015 Aug 7.

Abstract

Recent reports have shown that strigolactones play a positive role in plant responses to drought and salt stress through MAX2 (More Axillary Growth 2). Increasing evidence suggests that MAX2 is also involved in karrikin signaling, raising the question whether karrikins play any role in plant adaptation to abiotic stresses.

Keywords: abiotic stress responses; karrikins; strigolactones.
