On possible registration of mitogenetic effect in A.M. Kuzin group experiments

Abstract

Ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) of biosystems is well established effect now. But it's not clear yet is it connected with hypothetic Gurwitch mitogenetic effect (MGE) supposedly discovered in 1922. Meanwhile during their study of gamma-radiation influence on biosystems Kuzin probably obtained its direct confirmation. In such typical experiment they compare influence via optical contact on distant biosystem-detector (usually radish seeds) of three biosystem-inductors: control (dead or empty), standard alive, and alive irradiated by gamma-rays. Such inductors can be egg white, yeast, human or dog hair, etc..They've got typically that in comparison with control inductor, alive one induced detector sprout growth 40% larger, irradiated one - 70% larger. Comparison control and
alive inductor effect corresponds supposedly to MGE rate. Yeast and some other biosystem UPE now is well studied, so it can be concluded that MGE really exists. Reasons of long- term failures to detect MGE discussed as well as prospects for new experiments.
