Lower vertebrate embryos as a model for studying wave communication of biological systems

Abstract

Distant wave interactions in the living nature, since discovery by A.G.Gurvitch of mitogenetic rays, are investigated many decades. We have found that the content of different age groups of embryos of low vertebrates in separate quartz cuvettes in the presence of only optical contact between the groups can lead to changes in the parameters of their further development compared with the control groups. Such a biocorrection of development can be both positive (acceleration and decrease in the number of abnormally developing embryos compared to the control) and negative (slowing of development, an increase in the number of abnormal embryos, an increase in mortality). Distant interactions of only embryos of different ages lead to the correction of development – probably, the radiation of the embryos, not finding their own perceiving systems, is absorbed by the systems resonant for this radiation that are available in the embryos of another stage. The effect of distant interaction of embryos is determined primarily by a combination of certain stages of embryonic development of interacting groups of individuals - donors and radiation acceptors and manifests itself only in the case of commensurate rates of development. In addition to the general correction of development, the result of distant mutual influence may be the appearance of various developmental anomalies specific to each case of the selection of interacting stages. The optical activity of biological macromolecules gives the basis to investigate a problem on the polarization component transmitted information. We have reveled that the degree of polarization of biophoton emission at distant embryo's interaction on the result of the biocommunications can influence. Change an optical properties of wave flows between interacting groups of embryos (the exclusion of definite wave lengths, the polarization and change of its degree, usage of optical filters, including biological ones) modifies the results of biooptiical interactions. An use of the polarizing component of biooptical radiation in the definite spectral parts by the polarizing diaphragms have shown its impotent role in change of embryo's development. After such manipulations in interacting batches a number of specific morphgenetic abnormal embryos is exhibited. The degree of polarization of biooptical radiation correlates with spatial organization and degree of a development of some anomalies.
