  bibo_abstract:
  - Strigolactones (SLs) are a relatively recent addition to the list of plant hormones
    that control different aspects of plant development. SL signalling is perceived
    by an α/β hydrolase, DWARF 14 (D14). A close homolog of D14, KARRIKIN INSENSTIVE2
    (KAI2), is involved in perception of an uncharacterized molecule called karrikin
    (KAR). Recent studies in Arabidopsis identified the SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 1 (SMAX1)
    and SMAX1-LIKE 7 (SMXL7) to be potential SCF–MAX2 complex-mediated proteasome
    targets of KAI2 and D14, respectively. Genetic studies on SMXL7 and SMAX1 demonstrated
    distinct developmental roles for each, but very little is known about these repressors
    in terms of their sequence features. In this study, we performed an extensive
    comparative analysis of SMXLs and determined their phylogenetic and evolutionary
    history in the plant lineage. Our results show that SMXL family members can be
    sub-divided into four distinct phylogenetic clades/classes, with an ancient SMAX1.
    Further, we identified the clade-specific motifs that have evolved and that might
    act as determinants of SL-KAR signalling specificity. These specificities resulted
    from functional diversities among the clades. Our results suggest that a gradual
    co-evolution of SMXL members with their upstream receptors D14/KAI2 provided an
    increased specificity to both the SL perception and response in land plants.@eng
