The synthesis and biological evaluation of labelled karrikinolides for the elucidation of the mode of action of the seed germination stimulant

Karrikins are a novel class of naturally occurring plant growth regulators that promote seed germination among a diverse range of species. Currently little is known about the mechanism by which these compounds overcome seed dormancy and initiate germination. The preparation of various karrikinolide...
