I remember a TV show awhile back that interviewed some people in South
Africa that were researching this.  What I remember is, it is the smoke
that is needed to germinate.  And if I remember right somehow they have
captured the smoke in a pill (?) and were selling the smoke to assist in
germination.  Sorry this is so vague.
