The changes of wet and dry weights and germination of barley seed in different periods of its swelling in nontreated (control), extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF EMF) )-treated, and extremely low frequency vibrations (ELFV)-treated cold (4 degrees C) and warm (20 degrees C) distilled water (DW) were studied. The metabolic-dependent seed hydration, dry weight dissolving, germination, and water binding in seed were modulated by preliminary EMF- and ELFV-treated DW. Frequency "windows" for the effect of EMF and ELFV on seed hydration, solubility, water binding in seed, and germination were discovered. These "windows" were different for EMF and ELFV, as well as in various phases of seed swelling. It is suggested that EMF-induced water structure modification has a different biological effect on the process of seed hydration, solubility, water binding in seed, and germination compared to ELFV.
研究了未经处理(对照)、极低频电磁场(ELF EMF)处理和极低频振动(ELFV)处理的大麦种子在冷(4℃)和暖(20℃)蒸馏水中不同膨胀时期的湿重、干重变化及萌发情况。经EMF和ELFV预处理的蒸馏水可调节与代谢相关的种子水合作用、干重溶解、萌发及种子中的水分结合。发现了EMF和ELFV对种子水合作用、溶解度、种子中的水分结合及萌发影响的频率“窗口”。这些“窗口”对于EMF和ELFV不同,在种子膨胀的不同阶段也不同。研究表明,与ELFV相比,EMF诱导的水结构改变对种子水合作用、溶解度、种子中的水分结合及萌发过程具有不同的生物学效应。
