摘要
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 grass Themeda triandra Forssk. is reported. The promotive effect of smoke on seed germination was retained when pre-treated seed was dried and stored for up to 21 days. Seed pre-treatment with smoke had no detrimental effect on subsequent seedling growth.
