It is analyzed the spontaneous light emission of germinating seeds, in tests with optimum and stressed conditions; the growth performance is correlated to the total photoncount, with pronounced peak for low stress (<100ppm Dichromate) solutions.
The wheat seeds' delayed luminescence is related to the samples´ germination rate, with inverse relation observed and more clearly evidenced at the end of measurement term (4
