Abstract
Aqueous extracts of smoke, derived from Themeda triandra, a fire-clima x grass, and Passerina vulgaris, a fynbos plant, stimulated root initi ation and development in the hypocotyls of mung beans. Immersion time and the dilution of the smoke extracts were important in optimising th e rooting response.
