Function
KAI2_ARATH Involved in seed germination and seedling development. Essential for plant responses to karrikins, a class of butenolide compounds, structurally similar to strigolactones, released from burning vegetation that stimulate seed germination and enhance seedling photomorphogenesis. KAI2 is not required for strigolactone-mediated responses, but MAX2 is necessary for responses to karrikins and strigolactones.[1] [2] [3] [4]
