Strigolactones (SLs) are plant secondary metabolites derived from carotenoids. SLs play important roles in the regulation of plant growth and development and coordinate interactions between plants and other organisms including root parasitic plants, and symbiotic and pathogenic microbes in the rhizosphere. In the 50 years since the discovery of the first SL, strigol, our knowledge about the chemistry and biochemistry of SLs has advanced explosively, especially over the last two decades. In this review, recent advances in the chemistry and biology of SLs are summarized and possible future outcomes are discussed.
独脚金内酯（SLs）是一类源自类胡萝卜素的植物次生代谢产物。独脚金内酯在植物生长发育调控中发挥着重要作用，并协调植物与其他生物之间的相互作用，这些生物包括根寄生植物以及根际中的共生微生物和致病微生物。自首个独脚金内酯——独脚金醇被发现后的50年间，我们对独脚金内酯的化学和生物化学知识的了解有了迅猛进展，尤其是在过去的二十年中。在这篇综述中，总结了独脚金内酯在化学和生物学方面的最新进展，并讨论了可能产生的未来成果。
