AB Strigolactones (SLs) are a prime example of allelochemicals, promoting parasitic plantgermination and certain hyphal branching factors associated to the growth of symbiotic arbuscularmycorrhizal fungi (AMF). However, the study of SLs is complex, and various issues have yet tobe studied in depth. This review intends to provide an overview of the works that have beenconducted on the identification, isolation, and evaluation of the allelopathic activity of naturalcanonical and non-canonical SLs on parasitic weeds and AMF growth. These topics were related withtheir 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 weedcontrol, 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 resultspublished since 2015, using tables and graphs to summarize and discuss that information. Thepromising results and conclusions obtained from the bioassays herein presented provide a goodreason to encourage and support further research works on these natural products, which must alsoconsider the disadvantages or current limitations that SLs present.
