“…Canonical SLs are further divided intostrigol‐ and orobanchol‐type, according to the stereochemistry of asymmetric carbon atoms at C3a and C8b: C3a R and C8b S configuration in strigol‐type SLs, including 5‐deoxystrigol (5DS, 18 ) and its derivatives, such as strigol ( 19 ), strigyl acetate ( 20 ), strigone ( 21 ), sorgolactone ( 22 ), sorgomol ( 23 ), ent ‐2′‐ epi ‐orobanchol ( 24 ) and ent ‐2′‐ epi ‐orobanchol acetate ( 25 ), and C3a S and C8b R configuration in orobanchol‐type SLs such as 4‐deoxyorobanchol (4DO, 26 ) and 4DO derivatives, including orobanchol ( 27 ), 7‐hydroxyorobanchol ( 28 ), orobanchyl acetate ( 29 ), 7‐OXO‐orobanchol ( 30 ), 7‐hydroxyorobanchyl acetate ( 31 ), 7‐OXO‐orobanchyl acetate ( 32 ), fabacol ( 33 ), fabacyl acetate ( 34 ), solanacol ( 35 ) and solanacyl acetate ( 36 ) (Yokota et al ., 1998; Xie et al ., 2008; Ueno et al ., 2011; Kohlen et al ., 2012; Kisugi et al ., 2013; Kohlen et al ., 2013; Xie et al ., 2013; Xie, 2016). Non‐canonical SLs with a β‐ionone ring (A ring), including carlactone (CL, 5 ), carlactonic acid (CLA, 6 ), hydroxyl CLs (i.e., 3‐OH‐CL [ 14 ] and 4‐OH‐CL [ 10 ]), hydroxyl CLA (i.e., 18‐OH‐CLA [ 11 ]), methyl carlactonoate (MeCLA, 7 ) and its derivatives (i.e., 18‐OH‐MeCLA [ 12 ], 1″‐OH‐MeCLA [ 8 ], and heliolactone [ 9 ]) have been identified in plants (Baz et al ., 2018; Iseki et al ., 2018; Mori et al ., 2020). In addition, plants produce several non‐canonical SLs with higher structural complexity, for example, Avenaol ( 17 ), Lotuslactone ( 13 ), Zealactone ( 15 ) and Zeapyranolactone ( 16 ) (Charnikhova et al ., 2017, 2018).…”
