Abstract
Unveiling of hormone perception is central to comprehending hormone action. It is generally recognized that an active hormone molecule binds its receptor to initiate hormone signaling, subsequently dissociates from its receptor without being changed, and then initiates the next round of hormone perception. However, recent studies discovered that the α/β hydrolase DWARF14 serves as a non-canonical receptor for the plant hormone strigolactone (SL) to generate the active form of SL which remains covalently bound in an irreversible manner, triggering SL signal transduction. In this short review, we will discuss the recent advances in uncovering this unprecedented non-canonical mechanism for hormone perception.
