DESCRIPTION:Strigolactones are a new family of plant hormones that have be
 en shown to have endogenous roles in regulating plant development\, partic
 ularly shoot branching. Their mechanism of action in shoot branching is cu
 rrently unknown but two alternative models proposing that their primary ta
 rget is either a transcriptional effect local to buds\, or a systemic effe
 ct on auxin transporter endocytosis currently exist. I will be discussing 
 new evidence that supports the latter hypothesis.
