Exposure of seeds to aerosol smoke or crude smoke extracts stimulates the germination of a
number of fire-dependent and fire-independent plant species. We now report the identity of …

Karrikins are butenolides derived from burnt vegetation that stimulate seed germination and
enhance seedling responses to light. Strigolactones are endogenous butenolide hormones …

Smoke is an important abiotic cue for plant regeneration in postfire landscapes. Karrikins are
a class of compounds discovered in smoke that promote seed germination and influence …

Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of phytohormones and rhizosphere signaling compounds
with high structural diversity. Three enzymes, carotenoid isomerase DWARF27 and …

Discovery of the primary seed germination stimulant in smoke, 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one
(KAR 1 ), has resulted in identification of a family of structurally related plant growth …

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 in …

Two α/β-fold hydrolases, KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2) and Arabidopsis thaliana DWARF14
(AtD14), are necessary for responses to karrikins ( KAR s) and strigolactones ( SL s) in …

Karrikins are a class of seed germination stimulants identified in smoke from wildfires.
Microarray analysis of imbibed Arabidopsis thaliana seeds was performed to identify …

Karrikins are a chemically defined family of plant growth regulators discovered in smoke from
burning plant material. Karrikins are potent in breaking dormancy of seeds of many species …

Strigolactones are a group of plant compounds of diverse but related chemical structures.
They have similar bioactivity across a broad range of plant species, act to optimize plant …
