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

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.

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