abstract = {Strigolactones (SLs) are a prime example of allelochemicals, promoting parasitic plant
germination and certain hyphal branching factors associated to the growth of symbiotic arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). However, the study of SLs is complex, and various issues have yet to
be studied in depth. This review intends to provide an overview of the works that have been
conducted on the identification, isolation, and evaluation of the allelopathic activity of natural
canonical and non-canonical SLs on parasitic weeds and AMF growth. These topics were related with
their application in agriculture through trap crops, suicidal germination or intercropping strategies.
The high applicability of SLs in agriculture, for example, as preventing herbicides for parasitic weed
control, has increased the interest for these compounds and the number of research articles published.
This review updates and discusses the last findings in this field, with special emphasis in the results
published since 2015, using tables and graphs to summarize and discuss that information. The
promising results and conclusions obtained from the bioassays herein presented provide a good
reason to encourage and support further research works on these natural products, which must also
consider the disadvantages or current limitations that SLs present.},
