Positive germination response of oriental mustard (Sisymbrium orientale L., Brassicaceae) to plant-derived smoke

Plant-Derived Smoke Enhances Germination of the Invasive Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L.)

Germination of Barley as Affected by the Allelopathy of Sisymbrium irio L. and Descurainiasophia (L.) Schur

An experiment was conducted under controlled conditions to study the effect of water extract of leaves, shoots and roots of either Sisymbrium irio L. =SISIR and or Descurainia sophia (L.) Schur =DESSO on the germination and primary growth of barley. A split-split plot experiment in CRD with three replications was used. The main plots were the type of weed: i.e. SISIR and DESSO and the sub-plots...

Butenolides from plant-derived smoke: natural plant-growth regulators with antagonistic actions on seed germination.

Smoke plays an intriguing role in promoting the germination of seeds of many species following a fire. Recently, a bicyclic compound containing a condensed butenolide moiety, 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one (1), was reported as a potent germination promoter from plant-derived smoke. In this study, a related butenolide, 3,4,5-trimethylfuran-2(5H)-one (2), which inhibits germination and signif...

Brassicaceae Mustards: Traditional and Agronomic Uses in Australia and New Zealand.
