Carlactone is a strigolactone-like compound which shows biological actions similar to those of strigolactones, phytohormones with diverse signaling activities.
Carlactone has been isolated by the group of Prof. Salim Al-Babili at the University of Freiburg, and its structure has been elucidated by the NMR group of the University of Bern, under the guidance of Prof. Peter Bigler. References:
