Fig. 8 in Chemical identification of 18-hydroxycarlactonoic acid as an LjMAX1 product and in planta conversion of its methyl ester to canonical and noncanonical strigolactones in Lotus japonicus

Fig. 8. The proposed biosynthetic pathway of 5DS and LL in L. japonicus. LjMAX1 catalyzes the oxidation of CL to 18-OH-CLA via CLA. (11R)-CL, CLA and 18- hydroxylated carlactonoates are precursors for 5DS and LL in L. japonicus. Solid arrows indicate confirmed pathways reported in previous studies and this study and dashed arrows indicate putative pathways. Blue letters indicate the position number.
