Strigolactone signaling proceeds via:

Answer: C) 26S proteasome pathway. For Striglactone, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) MAPK pathway; B) cAMP pathway; D) Calcium signaling. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

F-box protein involved in strigolactone signaling is:

Go with C — MAX2. Under Striglactone, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) COI1; B) TIR1; D) GID2. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.

Strigolactone signaling involves degradation of:

Pick C: SMXL proteins. Thinking through Striglactone step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves SMXL proteins. Skip these: A) JAZ proteins; B) AUX/IAA proteins; D) DELLA proteins. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.
