Positive and negative phenotyping of increasing Zn concentrations by Biospeckle Optical Coherence Tomography in speedy monitoring on lentil (Lens culinaris) seed germination and seedling growth

Reliable seed screening that can speedily detect qualities such as dormancy and seed germination can be of great significance in improving plant growth, crop yield, and quality. On the other hand, Optical Coherent Tomography (OCT) has been extensively used as a potential tool in visualizing structur...

Statistically significant differences were observed even within 12 h of exposure under all the Zn treatments compared to control. In comparison, the conventional measurements of germination rate, root and shoot lengths, and fresh and dry weights of seedlings took nearly 48 h to observe significant changes. Furthermore, the Zn uptake measurements were significant for all the tested concentrations after seven days of exposure. Further, bOCT results showed a clear concentration dependent effect with 5, 10 mg/L producing positive effects, while a high concentration of 100 mg/L showing a detrimental effect on seed germination and seedling growth.
