Germination of Witchweed ( Striga lutea Lour.): Isolation and Properties of a Potent Stimulant
Abstract
A crystalline germination stimulant (trivial name strigol) for the root parasite, witchweed ( Striga lutea Lour.), has been isolated from cotton root exudates and characterized as a C 19 H 22 O 6 compound. Although apparently different from known plant hormones, the stimulant is active at hormonal levels, causing germination at concentrations less than 10 -5 part per million.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
