• Effects of disturbance on germination and seedling establishment in a coastal prairie grassland: a test of the competitive release hypothesis (2002, background): “Much attention has been given to studies that have reported specific mechanisms whereby fire can influence germination of seeds in Mediterranean habitats (e.g. Thanos & Rundel 1995; van Staden et al. 2000).”
• Isolation of the major germination cue from plant-derived smoke (2004, background): “It is now generally accepted that the active principle is produced by the combustion of plant materials (Jäger et al. 1996a, 1996b) and smoke products are already widely used (Brown 1993, Dixon et al. 1995, Brown and Van Staden 1997, Roche et al. 1997b, Keeley and Fotheringham 1998, Enright and Kint”
• Effects of a butenolide present in smoke on light-mediated germination of Australian Asteraceae (2006, background): “…smoke and other phytohormones in seeds has led to the hypotheses that altered synthesis/metabolism of endogenous hormones, and/or increased sensitivity *Correspondence: Fax: þ61 8 9480 3641 E mail: dmerritt@bgpa.wa.gov.au to hormones, are possible modes of action of smoke (van Staden et al., 2000).”
• Dual regulation of seed germination by smoke solutions (2002, background): “However, the chemical identity of the active compound(s) in smoke, and the mode of action still remain a mystery (Van Staden et al. 2000).”
• Butenolide from plant-derived smoke enhances germination and seedling growth of arable weed species (2006, background): “Thus, butenolide has been reported to have similar effects on germination as GA3 on Australian Asteraceae (Merritt et al. 2006) and smoke affects endogenous GA synthesis and ABA content (Van Staden et al. 2000).”
• Patterns in the seed germination response to smoke in plants from the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa (2003, background): “Fire provides the major cues for germination in the wild and it is necessary to simulate these cues when attempting to germinate wildflower seed in the laboratory and nursery (Brits 1996, Brown and Van Staden 1997, Keeley and Bond 1997, Van Staden et al. 2000).”
• Burning seeds: germinative response to heat treatments in relation to resprouting ability (2008, background): “Similar results were found in the Fynbos for smoke-stimulated germination, being more frequent in R– species (van Staden et al. 2000).”
• Working with rhizobia (2016, background): “For some legumes, mainly from Australia and South Africa, germination levels are increased when seeds are exposed to chemicals contained in smoke from burnt plant residues (Staden et al. 2000).”
