THE ROLE OF THE ANOMALOUS PROPERTIES OF WATER IN THE PHYSIOLOGY OF PLANT SEEDS

Abstract

The manifestation of anomalous thermodynamics of water on the kinetics of swelling and germination of wheat seeds is studied. As a controlled parameter use is made of speed weight gain of weevils. The activation energy of germination and swelling is estimated and a linear dependence of the second value on the proportion of hydrophilic substances in the seeds of oats, wheat and beans is found. The transitions between ice-like and spiral water clusters are explained by optimization of temperature stratification and germination of seeds of most plants. It is found that the magnetic field does not affect the kinetics of swelling and slightly reduces the speed of germination. The negative field effect is explained by the action of the Lorentz force on the protons as they move in the plazmalemma scutellum.
