Seed germination is momentous for plants. It is a commitment to development that requires the right conditions for survival. Understanding seed germination and growth into full fledged organisms is very important to food production and security. Yet to date, it is still difficult to assess seed viability and health. The capacity of seeds to emit tiny vibrations and ultraweak light will be…
The intended goal is to assemble a dark chamber for photon-counting experiments with bio-samples. The setup uses 7 photomultiplier tubes simultaneously operated to provide spectral (by filters) and/or spacial (sectioned detection) discrimination. First applications will be on sensing of ultra-weak light emission in germination tests, to determine the locality, the periodicity and spectral…

The seed germination is a key moment for plants. Rapid and committing, germination initiates a sophisticated developmental programme, exhibiting growth spurts, rhythms, orientation to light, humidity, temperature and gravity, and a certain amount of unpredictability. Interestingly, to date, there is no method to assess the capacity of an individual seed to germinate, without attempting to…
It was shown that both base and tips of rootlets and leaflet - places of fast cell growth and multiplication - are the main ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) sources in seedlings. But those experiments were performed in short period of time, ie. few hours. The intended goal here is to record UPE images, continuously, during 2 to 3 days, covering the first development of a single seedling/s…
The proposed scientific exchange intends to investigate the delayed luminescence and spontaneous emission of light in wheat seeds before and during germination, with further analysis of the seedling's growth and development. The proposed plan, to be executed by the Brazilian researcher and supported by the German group, is constituted of 3-week period of day-by-day measurements and two ha…
