Abstract

Abstract : The generation of molecules that promote plant growth provides opportunities for synthetic chemists to make lasting contributions to the agricultural sector. This Microreview highlights the approaches that have been used to access single enantiomers of an important class of plant growth promotors, the strigolactone phytohormones. Abstract : This Microreview highlights the approaches that have been used to access single enantiomer strigolactones. These phytohormones represented an under‐investigated class of plant growth promotors. The generation of molecules that affect plant growth and development provides opportunities for synthetic chemists to make lasting contributions to future agricultural and food security.
