Abstract
A novel strigolactone sorgomol, germination stimulant for root parasitic plants Striga and Orobanche, was isolated and structure was elucidated. Sorgomol was more active on Striga than on Orobanche and may be the immediate precursor of sorgolactone in the biosynthetic pathway of strigolactones.
