EFFECT OF A CONSTANT MAGNETIC FIELD TREATMENT OF DRY SEEDS OF WHEAT AND SUGARS ON THE GROWTH OF EXCISED COLEOPTILES FARHAT AGHA AND M. ISHAQ KHAN Abstract: Presowing treatment of dry wheat seeds to a constant magnetic field of 30 mT was found to promote the elongation of 24 hrs old wheat coleoptile tips. The growth of apical and basal segments of wheat coleoptiles were also promoted by 30 mT magnetized sucrose and maltose. Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan. |
