+place, for it is the electron that magnetizes the chlorophyll in the plant
+cell that makes it possible for the photon to assert itself and become a
+part of the plant in the form of solar energy. It is also this magnetism that
+draws the molecules of oxygen into the ever expanding chlorophyll cells
+of the plant, and so we must assume that moisture is in no way integrated into the plant through any absorption process whatsoever, for the integration of moisture is purely an electronic one. The so-called root pressure
+(moisture droplets) appearing on plant surfaces is not root pressure at all,

+---Because, of all living things, they seemed the most enduring and the
+least moble, Burr charted the life fields of trees on the Yale campus and
+at his laboratory in Connecticut, over nearly two decades.
+He found that recordings related not only to the lunar cycle and to
+sunspots, whIch flare up at intervals with many years between them, but
+revealed cycles recurring every three and six months that were beyond
+his explanabon. His conclusions seemed to make less suspect the long-
+mocked practices of generations of gardeners who claimed that their
+**crops** should be **planted according to the phases of the moon**.
+---The experimenters placed identical tissue cultures in two hermetically
+sealed vessels separated by a wall of glass, then introduced a lethal virus
+in one of the chambers which killed the colony of cells inside it. The
+second colony remained wholly unaffected. However, when they replaced the glass divider with a sheet of quartz glass and again introduced
+killing viruses to one of the colonies, the Soviet scientists were astonished to see that the second colony also met the same fate as the first,
+even though the viruses could not possibly have penetrated the barrier.
+Other first and second colonies of cells, separated by the quartz glass,
+both perished when only the first colony was murdered with chemical
+poisons or lethal radiation and the second left unexposed. What killed
+the second colony in each case?
+Since **ordinary glass does not permit ultraviolet rays to pass but quartz
+glass does**, it seemed to the Soviet scientists that here was a key to the
+mystery. They recalled that **Gurwitsch had theorized that onion cells
+could emit ultraviolet rays**, and they resurrected his ideas from the limbo
+to which they had been consigned in the 1930s. Working with an
+electronic eye amplified by a photomultiplier and registered by a self-
+recorder which traced a graph marking the energy levels on a moving
+tape, they found that when life processes in the tissue cultures remained
+nonnal, the ultraviolet glow, invisible to the human eye but detectable
+as oscillations on the tape, remained stable. As soon as the affected
+colony began to battle against its infection, the radiation intensified.
+Reports on this work in Moscow newspapers disclosed that, however
+fantastic it might seem, the ultraviolet radiation from the affiicted cells
+carried in/onnation encoded in the fluctuation in intensity which was
+somehow received by the second colony, just as words are transmitted
+and received in dots and dashes in the Morse code.
+Since the second colony seemed in each case to die in exactly the same
+way as the first, the Soviets realized that it was as dangerous for healthy
+cells to be exposed to the transmitted signal of dying cells as it was for
+them to be exposed to viruses, poisons, and lethal radiation. It appeared
+that the second colony upon receiving the alarm signal from th dying
+first colony began to mobilize for resistance and its very "restructuring for war" against a nonexistent enemy proved as fatal as if it had
+it had indeed been attacked.
