| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Karrikinolide is a plant growth regulator that has been found in plant-derived smoke. It increases the germination rate and seedling mass in a panel of eight arable weed species when applied to filter paper at a concentration of 1 μM. Topical application of karrikinolide (0.1 nM) increases the number of leaves, leaf length, and fresh and dry leaf weights in commercial onion (A. cepa) plants. | [Chemical Properties]
Orange Solid | [Uses]
Forest fires are actually beneficial for ecosystems, provided they don’t happen too often. After a fire, plants germinate and grow incredibly fast. KAR1 is a compound in smoke responsible for promoting the seed germination of a wide range of plant species |
