But what happens when humans ingest said hormone by eating these tomatoes?

I imagine not much if you are not a tomato plant.

(Nerd warning) So awesome to see strigolactones on lemmy. Any other strigolactone researchers out there? I mostly work on the receptor protein D14.

I’ll say! And they spread so virulently, too. Next thing you know, you’re selling dried cherry tomatoes on the local farmer’s market.
