Abstract
Speed of germination and seedling growth of corn Zea mays L. and beans Phaseolus vulgaris L. were affected by pregermination exposure of the dry seed to an introduced magnetic field. Seed orientation and duration of pregermination exposure as well as temperature and seed orientation during germination affected total visible seedling growth. An endogenous, non-circadian growth response is indicated.
