This special issue of Planta is dedicated to the research on strigolactones. Research and review papers present some of the recent findings and the state of the art in this subject. Stereospecificty in strigolactone biosynthesis and perception, new concepts on the role of repressor proteins in strigolactone signaling, aspects of strigolactone networks in roots and shoots, during stress conditions and plant interactions, the importance of strigolactone transport, new discoveries on strigolactone biosynthesis and on strigolactone signal perception and transduction in higher and primitive plants are some of the subjects presented in this special issue.
