Abstract

At the direct and mediated influence of millimetric radiation with a wavelength of 5.6 mm, the density of the stream of 6–10 mW/cm2, and several minutes’ exposition on seeds of tomato, tobacco, wheat, and maize, we observed the stimulation of the sprouting energy and the seeds germinating power and an increase in the number of right sprouts. The mediated influence is more effective than the direct one. The mediated influence consisted of the following: we processed with millimetric radiation (1) water in which afterwards the seeds were presoaked, and (2) microorganisms from which were exuded exometabolites in order to soak the seeds in their solutions. There was found out the effect of the water “memory.” This effect is better expressed with tap water in comparison with distilled water and is better maintained at a low temperature than at room temperature. There has been drawn a conclusion that water is the receiver, inductor, and carrier of information about the influence of a physical factor.
