  • Patent number: 8101171
    Abstract: The identification of compounds, strigolactones, having the ability to stimulate the growth and/or development of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM fungi). Such compounds are, for example, the natural strigolactones strigol, alectrol, sorgolactone, orobanchol, or their synthetic analogs GR7, GR24, Nijmegen-1, demethylsorgolactone. New ways of developing an agriculture that is more respectful of the environment, and permits the implementation, on a small or large scale, of advanced mycorrhization techniques aimed at optimizing the production of fungic inoculum, the use of AM fungi in soils or cultivation substrates, and intensifying the symbiotic interaction between these microorganisms and cultivated plants.

  • Publication number: 20110230352
    Abstract: A treatment process for a superior plant in order to control the growth of the plant, is characterized in that an adapted quantity of strigolactones is brought in contact with the plant so as to inhibit the formation of at least one ramification. A method of using strigolactones to identify genes and/or molecules involved in the growth of buds and/or ramifications in superior plants is also disclosed.
