(and vice versa), were able to demonstrated that the mutants were either not able to recognize a signal molecule coming from the roots and the lower part of the plant, or not able to produce the require molecules to inhibit branching. This molecule, that was involved in branching regulation, was later identified to be a strigolactone. The conclusion was that, in presence of strigolactones, the plant would be prevented from overgrowing and would develop excessive branches, but when is not present, the axillary bud will start inducing abnormal
