Abstract
A detailed dielectric/gravimetric study within a frequency range from 10 kHz to 10MHz of intact H2O- or D2O-hydrated wheat seeds detects a clear isotopic effect in the dielectric dissipation. Using a Maxwell-Wagner analysis of these data, this dissipation peak can be attributed to protonic currents which are greatly enhanced by the absorbed water, in the hydration range where wheat germination occurs. © 1984 Società Italiana di Fisica.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
