Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of phytohormones and rhizosphere signaling compounds with high structural diversity. Three enzymes, carotenoid isomerase DWARF27 and carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases CCD7 and CCD8, were previously shown to convert all-trans-β-carotene to carlactone (CL), the SL precursor. However

All-trans-beta-carotene was resolved from its cis isomers in human serum by reversed-phase "high-performance" liquid chromatography. Absorption spectra of the cis peak suggested that 13-cis-beta-carotene was the predominant cis isomer. Analyses and recovery studies of fresh and stored sera eliminated the
