Abstract

The article discusses the problem of creating valuable source material for breeding new varieties. Therefore, the authors consider it necessary to develop new methods to induce aberrant or recombinant variability in plants using their own hidden seed reserves. It is proposed to treat wet seeds with physical factors that mobilize forces and release energy reserves of the seeds to increase their germination, seedling growth, productivity and yield of future agricultural products. The article examines the possibility of stimulating and increasing crop yields by controlling the number of chromosomal aberrations under electrophysical influence on their seeds. To increase the water content of seeds prior to irradiation, the authors use a sinusoidal electric current. In order to increase the yield of chromosomal aberrations in the process of laser irradiation of seeds, it is necessary to carry out a preliminary water-thermal treatment (WTT) with alternating electric current (I). The authors present the research on the effect of electrophysical treatment methods on seed material, which includes the study of electrophysical properties of seeds, identification of doses, type and nature of effects that cause stimulation of growth and development of their seedlings.
