Role of strigolactones in Arabidopsis root developmental processes

The role of strigolactones (SLs) in root development is not yet fully understood. We investigated this through RNA-sequencing root tissue of two MORE AXILLARY GROWTH (MAX) SL mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana: max2-1 and max4-1. Through investigating differentially expressed genes in these mutants we aimed to uncover the processes by which SLs influence root development.
