Transcriptome analysis reveals that auxin promotes strigolactone-induced adventitious root growth in the hypocotyl of melon seedlings

Strigolactone (SL) and auxin are two important phytohormones involved in plant root development, but whether they show synergistic or mutual promotion effects during adventitious root (AR) formation has not been adequately explored. Overall design: In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of GR24 (synthetic SL)and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA; a type of auxin) in the formation of ARs using melon as the study material
