Synthesis and evaluation of labelled germination stimulants for determining the role of butenolide in promoting seed germination.

标记发芽促进剂之合成与评估，以确定丁烯二胺促进种子发芽之作用。烟雾中的发芽促进剂（丁烯二酸盐）的发现代表了澳大利亚的一项重大国际重大科学发现，并为农业、自然土地管理和恢复科学提供了令人兴奋的机会。在广泛的物种中显示的活性表明，丁烯二酰亚胺在全球具有普遍适用性。这项研究现在为澳大利亚的研究提供了一个独特的机会，以建立一个世界领先的地位，了解植物种子中的丁烯二酰亚胺的作用模式，这将导致我们对许多植物物种中调节种子休眠的过程的理解取得重大进展。

Synthesis and evaluation of labelled germination stimulants for determining the role of butenolide in promoting seed germination. The discovery of the germination promotive agent in smoke (a butenolide) represents a major and internationally significant scientific discovery for Australia and provides exciting opportunities for benefits in agriculture, natural lands management and restoration sciences. The activity demonstrated with a broad range of species shows that the butenolide has general applicability worldwide. This study now provides a unique opportunity for Australian research to establish a world-leading position in understanding the butenolide mode of action within plant seeds which will result in a significant advance in our understanding of the processes that regulate seed dormancy in many plant species.
