Strigolactone biosynthetic pathway and signaling proteins. All-trans-b-carotene is isomerized to 9-cis-b-carotene by a b-carotene isomerase. 9-cis-b-Carotene is cleaved by carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases, to produce carlactone.
The final stages of strigolactone synthesis and signalling occur in the cytosol.
