This review summarizes the current knowledge on lactones, a class of biologically active
natural products isolated from a wide range of living organisms. Butenolide, 5, 6 …

It is well known that burning of vegetation stimulates new plant growth and landscape
regeneration. The discovery that char and smoke from such fires promote seed germination …

The application of biostimulants from natural origin represents one of the most innovative
and promising strategies to promote plant growth and improve crop productivity. The …

Avena fatua L. caryopses did not germinate at 20° C in darkness because they were
dormant. However, they were able to germinate in the presence of karrikinolide (KAR 1), a …

The role of plant-derived smoke, which is changed in mineral-nutrient status, in enhancing
germination and post-germination was effectively established. The majority of plant species …

Beckie, HJ, Francis, A. and Hall, LM 2012. The Biology of Canadian Weeds. 27. Avena fatua
L.(Updated). Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 1329–1357. An updated review of biological information …

Seed imbibition under cold temperature is dangerous when dry seeds have relatively low
water content. The aim of this study was to investigate germination of 20 lines/cultivars of …

Plant-derived smoke, its water extract—the smoke water (SW), and karrikin (KAR 1) present
in the smoke stimulate seed germination in plants from fire-prone and fire-free areas …

Climatic conditions for seed germination of four weed species, Avena fatua, Bromus
catharticus, Chenopodium album and Phalaris minor, which occur commonly in cereal fields …

Setaria viridis has recently emerged as a promising genetic model system to study diverse
aspects of monocot biology. While the post-germination life cycle of S. viridis is …
