• Seed germination of agricultural weeds is promoted by the butenolide 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one under laboratory and field conditions (2007, methodology): “The remarkable activity of the butenolide (germination promotion at <0.67 nM; Flematti et al. 2004, 2007; van Staden et al. 2004, 2006; Merritt et al. 2006) means that for the first time a method of applying smoke technology (and germination stimulants) to management of weeds in agricultural…”
• Smoke-derived butenolide: Towards understanding its biological effects (2009, unknown): “…et al., 2007), hemi- and holo-parasitic weeds (Daws et al., 2008), several Australian Solanum spp. (Commander et al., 2008) and crop plants including lettuce, tomato, okra, bean, maize and rice (Van Staden et al., 2004; Jain and Van Staden, 2006; Kulkarni et al., 2006; Van Staden et al., 2006).”
• Butenolide from plant-derived smoke enhances germination and seedling growth of arable weed species (2006, background): “Consequently it has been proposed that butenolide may have broad applicability as an ecological and restoration tool (Flematti et al. 2004; Light and Van Staden 2004).”
• Effect of pre-sowing treatment on seed germination and seedling vigour in endive and chicory (2009, background): “…seed treatment) using moist-chilling, growth regulators (e.g. gibberelic acid applications; GA3) and plantderived smoke compounds (el-Dengawy 2005; Van Staden et al. 2006), magnetic fields (Ahmet 2003) and salts such as KNO3 have been effective in improving seed germination at low and high…”
