Strigolactones (SLs) and karrikins (KARs) are both butenolide molecules that play essential
roles in plant growth and development. SLs are phytohormones, with SLs having known …

Karrikins (KARs) are unique butenolides derived as a by‐product of incomplete combustion
during wildfire. Some receptive plant species respond to KARs in the form of accelerated …

Plant-derived smoke is a source of several butenolide compounds collectively termed,
karrikins (KARs). These have been recognized as a recent class of plant growth regulators …

Plants activate a myriad of signaling cascades to tailor adaptive responses under
environmental stresses, such as salinity. While the roles of exogenous karrikins (KARs) in …

Plant-derived smoke has the potential to be used in tissue culture, agriculture, and
ecological restoration. Karrikin is an active constituent of plant-derived smoke and a strong …

Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived terpenoid lactones. Natural SLs are grouped
into two types, namely, strigol-type and orobanchol-type, and 20 SLs have been identified …

Main conclusion NO releases caryopsis dormancy in Avena fatua, the effect being
dependent on the level of dormancy. The NO effect involves also the reduction of caryopsis …

Main conclusion Germination of primary dormant wild oat caused by KAR 1 or GA 3 is
associated with ACC accumulation and increased ethylene production shortly before radicle …

Karrikins is a new family of different compounds that can interrupt the seed's dormancy and
cause seed germination. Karrikins chemically defined as a family of compounds formed in …

The gases used: ethylene (C 2 H 4), hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and nitric oxide (NO) showed
a high activity as inductors of germination in primary dormant or non-dormant seeds …
