Researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego have developed so-called microbial cell factories—using E. coli and yeast—to produce a special class of plant hormones, known as strigolactones, at unprecedented levels. By amplifying production of strigolactones, which occur in such low amounts in plants, researchers now have the ability to study these elusive plant molecules in much greater depth than before. The work could help improve sustainable agricultural practices by offering deeper insights into how plants make and use their natural hormones to adapt and survive. </p> </div> <figure> <a href="https://today.ucsd.edu/story/microbial-cell-factories-may-help-get-to-the-root-of-understudied-plant-molecules" class="featured-link text-decoration-none d-block" ><span class="visually-hidden">Green plants in small black pots sitting on a shelf undermeath grow lights.</span> <img class="lozad featured-img img-fluid" srcset="https://today.ucsd.edu/news_uploads/_latest-mobile/Microbial_cell_factory_strigolactones-UCSD_TEASER.jpg 350w, https://today.ucsd.edu/news_uploads/_latest-desk/Microbial_cell_factory_strigolactones-UCSD_TEASER.jpg 864w" sizes="(min-width: 768px) 864px, 350px" data-src="https://today.ucsd.edu/news_uploads/_latest-desk/Microbial_cell_factory_strigolactones-UCSD_TEASER.jpg" alt="Microbial Cell Factories May Help Get to the Root of Understudied Plant Molecules" width="750" height="488" aria-hidden="true" /> </a> </figure> </div> <div class="article d-flex flex-md-row flex-column"> <div class="info-excerpt flex-grow-1"> <a href="https://today.ucsd.edu/story/uc-san-diegos-larry-smarr-elevated-to-ieee-fellow" class="topic-title"> <h3 class="h4"> UC San Diego’s Larry Smarr Elevated to IEEE Fellow </h3> </a> <a href="https://today.ucsd.edu/research/technology-and-engineering" class="featured-card-topic h2-alt text-decoration-none d-block text-primary" > Technology & Engineering </a> <p class="summary text-body" tabindex="0"> Larry Smarr, a pioneer in scientific computing, supercomputer applications, and Internet infrastructure from UC San Diego, has been named a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), one of the world’s most prestigious engineering organizations. </p> </div> <figure> <a href="https://today.ucsd.edu/story/uc-san-diegos-larry-smarr-elevated-to-ieee-fellow" class="featured-link text-decoration-none d-block" ><span class="visually-hidden">UC San Diego’s Larry Smarr Elevated to IEEE Fellow</span> <img class="lozad featured-img img-fluid" srcset="https://today.ucsd.edu/news_uploads/_latest-mobile/larry-smarr_01_08_25.png 350w, https://today.ucsd.edu/news_uploads/_latest-desk/larry-smarr_01_08_25.png 864w" sizes="(min-width: 768px) 864px, 350px" data-src="https://today.ucsd.edu/news_uploads/_latest-desk/larry-smarr_01_08_25.png" alt="UC San Diego’s Larry Smarr Elevated to IEEE Fellow" width="750" height="488" aria-hidden="true" /> </a> </figure> </div>  <a href="/archives" class="btn btn-primary d-inline-block" title="View all stories" >View All Stories</a>  </div> </div>  <div class="in-the-media col-12 col-lg-4 mb-5">  <div class="section-heading-left"> <div class="section-heading-inner mb-5 mb-lg-0"> <h2 class="section-heading-label text-uppercase my-0 pe-4"> In the Media </h2> <div class="hr section-divider bg-divider me-md-3"></div> </div> </div> <div class="articles d-flex flex-column"> <div class="article d-flex flex-column"> <a href="https://www.today.com/health/cold-flu/flu-season-2025-rcna186909"><h3 class="h4">Where is flu surging in the US?
