Strigolactones (SLs) control plant development, enhance symbioses, and act as germination stimulants for some of the most destructive species of parasitic weeds, making SLs a potential tool to improve crop productivity and resilience. Field trials demonstrate the potential use of SLs as agrochemicals or genetic targets in breeding programs, with applications in improving drought tolerance, increasing yields, and controlling parasitic weeds. However, for effective translation of SLs into agriculture, understanding and exploiting SL diversity and the development of economically viable sources of SL analogs will be critical. Here we review how manipulation of SL signaling can be used when developing new tools and crop varieties to address some critical challenges, such as nutrient acquisition, resource allocation, stress tolerance, and plant-parasite interactions.
