    I’ll be honest, I really don’t need to increase the yield of my cherry tomato plants lol

      I’ll say! And they spread so virulently, too. Next thing you know, you’re selling dried cherry tomatoes on the local farmer’s market.

    But what happens when humans ingest said hormone?

      I imagine not much if you are not a tomato plant.

    (Nerd warning) So awesome to see strigolactones on lemmy. Any other strigolactone researchers out there? I mostly work on the receptor protein D14.
