Abstract
This month's featured review article; “Ultraweak, spontaneous photon emission in seedlings: toxicological and chronobiological applications” is authored by Cristiano de Mello Gallep. The mini-review presents the use of ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) emitted by seedlings in toxicological and chronobiological applications. Chronic and acute stress induces pattern changes in UPE, giving a new parameter for real-time analysis of germination tests. The UPE time profile for a single seedling is shown for the first time, with pronounced circadian cycles in synchronism with the local gravimetric tide. The cover of this issue of Luminescence features the measuring of UPE time profile emitted by a single sunflower seedling, shown superposed to the local gravimetric tide, dg; also the UPE total counts x germination rate for samples stressed by wastewater sediment solutions.
