• 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, background): “Whilst it has been previously reported that butenolide can increase weed seed germination in the laboratory (Merritt et al. 2005; Daws et al. 2007), this study demonstrates the potential benefits of butenolide as a weed control agent in agricultural systems.”
• Smoke-derived butenolide: Towards understanding its biological effects (2009, unknown): “Recently, Daws et al. (2008) reported that butenolide can substitute for strigolactones in stimulating germination of parasitic weeds (including Striga andOrobanche) suggesting that butenolide may function in the same way as strigolactones.”
