The time-evolution of germination of oat seeds, suspended in the standard 5mm N. M. R. tube and supplied by water, was investigated continuouslyin vivo by the pulsed N. M. R. of water protons at the level of the seed. The results show that the spin- lattice relaxation time T1 yield the physiological information: in the germinated (living) seeds, the T1's are higher than in the killed seeds.
