Abstract

Strigolactones (SLs) are natural compounds occurring in plants which have a numerous functions in plant development; therefore, they are plant hormones. Unfortunately, their natural abundance is very low and because of their structure complexity it is difficult to prepare them in big quantities; alternatives with simpler structures and similar biological activity was developed. SLs mimics are compounds with simple synthesis. Methods for preparation of basic SLs mimics are described here.

Keywords: Debranones; Plant hormones; SL mimics; Strigolactones.
