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 …

In degraded dryland systems, native plant community re‐establishment following
disturbance is almost exclusively carried out using seeds, but these efforts commonly fail …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Main conclusion The induction of dormancy release and germination of Avena fatua
caryopses by KAR 1 involves ABA degradation to phaseic acid. Both, KAR 1 and GA 3 …

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 …

The relationship between ethylene and cyanide (HCN) and karrikin 1 (KAR1) in dormancy
release was studied in secondary dormant Brassica oleracea L.(Chinese cabbage) seeds …

Molecular studies of primary and secondary dormancy in Avena fatua L., a serious weed of
cereal and other crops, are intended to reveal the species-specific details of underlying …
