Strigolactones (ontology term: CHEMONTID:0001284)
Terpene lactones structurally characterized by the presence of an indeno[1,2-b]furan and a 2,5-dihydrofuran-2-one linked together to form a 3-methyl-5-{8-methyl-2-oxo-indeno[1,2-b]furan-3-ylidene]methoxy}-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-one skeleton." [DOI:10.1186/1741-7007-12-19]

Sorgolactone
Sorgolactone is found in cereals and cereal products. Sorgolactone is isolated from the roots of Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) (genuine host plant for Striga species) Strigolactones are plant hormones that have been implicated in inhibition of shoot branching. Strigolactones are carotenoid-derived and trigger germination of parasitic plant seeds (for example striga from which they gained their name) and stimulate symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi. Strigolactones contain a labile ether bond that is easily hydrolysed in the rhizosphere meaning that there is a large concentration gradient between areas near the root and those further away. Isolated from the roots of Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) (genuine host plant for Striga subspecies)
Strigol
Strigol is found in corn. Strigol is a constituent of the root of Gossypium hirsutum (cotton) Strigolactones are plant hormones that have been implicated in inhibition of shoot branching. Strigolactones are carotenoid-derived and trigger germination of parasitic plant seeds (for example striga from which they gained their name) and stimulate symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi. Strigolactones contain a labile ether bond that is easily hydrolysed in the rhizosphere meaning that there is a large concentration gradient between areas near the root and those further away.
