The present invention discloses methods and devices for a germination profile indicator based on conductivity including: utilizing a target-profile correlation of a target profile of an API from a plant seed to a target germination stage, the target profile includes identifying characteristics of chemical components, and wherein the target germination stage relates to a progress of a seed-germination process of the target profile; utilizing a process-profile correlation of germination-process profiles during the seed-germination process to respective process germination stages, wherein each germination-process profile relates to extracted seed material during the respective process germination stage; comparing characteristics of the target profile to corresponding features in the germination-process profiles; selecting an optimal state of the respective process germination stage to maximize an API quantity; and cross-correlating the optimal state to a conductivity range for the seed in a soak water within a given temperature range to identify a temperature-dependent germination stopping condition.

The present disclosure provides peanut maturity grading systems and methods for quickly, efficiently, and objectively determining a peanut maturity grade for a crop of peanuts and determining an optimal harvest time for the crop. Embodiments of systems and methods of the present disclosure can be performed in the field or field-side and do not require assistance of a trained peanut grading specialist.

The present invention provides a novel method of manufacturing germinated plant seeds suitable for producing a large amount of phytoalexin, a method of manufacturing raw material seeds for germination induction for use in manufacture of the above germinated plant seeds, an extract composition of the germinated plant seeds and a screening method for a plant seed candidate for use in producing a target substance. The method of manufacturing raw material seeds for germination induction comprises a pre-treatment step of maintaining plant seeds under atmosphere conditions of a carbon dioxide concentration of 400 ppm or more and/or an oxygen concentration of 19 vol % or less continuously for 5 hours or more.

A plant cultivation method and light treatment unit for increasing the content of a phytochemical. The plant cultivation method includes: growing a plant by germinating a seed; increasing the content of resveratrol, which is a phytochemical, through UV treatment on the plant; and harvesting the plant. Here, UV treatment is performed by irradiating the plant with UV light emitted from an LED.

Disclosed is a system for seed sprouting. An example system may include a jar having a top opening and a bottom opening, a seal lid, and a perforated lid. The system may include a seed packet containing seeds. A quantity of the seeds is calibrated based on a volume of the jar. The system may include a stand to support the jar vertically when the seeds are placed into the jar and moistened with water after the seal lid is secured at the bottom opening. The perforated lid includes holes to allow draining of the water after the perforated lid is secured at the top opening and the jar is positioned with the top opening down. The system may include a further perforated lid to be secured at the bottom opening after the jar is positioned with the top opening down to allow air to flow through the jar.
