A highly active, heat stable, long lasting compound, 3- methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one (1), that stimulates seed germination was isolated from plant-derived smoke water using bioactivity-guided fractionation. The identification of this natural molecule, the major germination cue from smoke,...
The interference of substances such as tocopherol quinone in the colorimetric oxidation and reduction method of estimating vitamin K (Abst. 2910, Vol. 11) was investigated, and it was found that the error due to such interference could be eliminated by extrapolation to zero time, A. M. ...
According to the growth form, the flower growth process ofA.andraeanumwas distinguished into five stages artificially (Fig.1). Stage I is defined as a period when a leaf bud and a white flower bud are embedded in a scale leaf. When the flower growth switches to stage II, the leaf bud p...

Plant-derived smoke and aqueous extracts of smoke can overcome certain types of seed dormancy. Successful smoke (aqueous) pre-treatment of seed of the fire-climax grassThemeda triandraForssk. is reported. The promotive effect of smoke on seed germination was retained when pre-treated seed was dri...
De Lange and Boucher (1990) reported the influence of plant-derived smoke on germination in the fynbos shrub, Audouinia capitata (Basterheide or False Heath). Brown et al. (1994) suggested that under natural conditions, smoke from fynbos fires may provide an important cue for triggering seed ...

The seed germination percentage was significantly increased by 2000 ppm plant-derived smoke as compared to control while 4000 ppm plant-derived smoke did not affect germination percentage (Figure 2). Length and fresh weight of shoot were increased by treatments of 1000 ppm and 2000 ppm plant-...
