Abstract:
The results of experimental research on ultraweak photon emission carried out at the Institute of Physics, Catania University, are presented here. A correlation has been demonstrated to exist between photon emission and growth activity in the germination of soya seeds and also during the exponential phase of the growth of yeast cell cultures. In addition an experiment on the self irradiation of yeast cells is reported that confirms the mitogenic effect hypothesized by Gurwitsch.
