Mung Seeds Under Constant Low Potential Difference During Post-Germination When Sprout Length Grows

Low potential difference 𝟎.𝟎𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒕 𝟏.𝟓𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒕, 𝟑.𝟎𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒕, 𝟒.𝟓𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒕, and 𝟔.𝟎𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒕 are applied during the growth of sprout length after germination and post-germination of mung seeds in open-air conditions. The sprout length decreases with an increase in potential difference and graphs show non-linear variations. Thus, this potential difference produces a negative impact on the sprout length elongation of seeds. The decrease in the sprout length may be due to lesser diffusion through the cell wall or due to the weakening of the activity of the other cell components leading to a slower rate of cell division. This may have an impact on the process of preservation of seeds.
