Stimulation of wheat seed germination by brief exposure in a 50-Hz electromagnetic field (EMF) is shown to depend on the extent of membrane stretching upon seed swelling in sucrose solutions. This again confirms the effect of low-frequency EMF on the release of peripheral proteins from membranes. Prolonged exposure, on the contrary, decreases the germination rate and retards seedling growth.
