Seed germination of S. hermonthica is induced by stimulants produced by host and non-host plants. The seeds require conditioning in the dark for a certain period before the seeds become responsive to the exogenous germination stimulants. In our experiments, fluridone, a carotenoid biosynthesis inhibitor, shortened the conditioning period and increased the rate of the seed germination induced by GR-24,a germination stimulant. Fluridone was also effective in amelorating the inhibitory effects of light on the conditioning and on the germination.
