T-Consciousness fields alter germination, growth, and biochemical responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Bahar) under drought stress

Abstract:

Whether plants have consciousness or mind-like properties is debated. This study tested the hypothesis that non-frequency T-Consciousness Fields may influence plant responses. Two completely randomized experiments used the Faradarmani Consciousness Field (T1) and the T-Consciousness Charge Field (T2) on wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Bahar) under drought stress. In experiment 1, seeds were exposed to PEG-induced drought (0, -0.6 and -1.2 MPa) for 8 days, with or without T1 or T2, to assess germination and early growth. In experiment 2, potted seedlings were given three weeks of drought by withholding irrigation, and growth, chlorophyll, carotenoid, total protein and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured. Severe drought reduced final and mean daily germination by about 40%, and T2 significantly improved both. At -0.6 MPa, shoot and root lengths rose by about 70% and 46%, with a larger gain under T2. Without stress, T2 markedly increased seedling growth and vigor: root and shoot dry weights were 2-3 times higher and seedling vigor indices 3-4 times higher than the control. In the pot experiment, T2 increased shoot length by about 25% and chlorophyll and carotenoid contents by about 60%, T1 increased protein content by about 25%, and both fields raised SOD-specific activity by about 50%. The authors conclude that T1 and T2 improved germination, growth and biochemical traits and may help mitigate drought stress in wheat.
