The effects of 12-, 24- and 36-hour soaking periods on the growth and carbohydrate content of corn seedlings grown either in distilled water or in nutrient solution have been studied. The soaking period of the seeds was found to affect the regulatiry of the growth rate, the extent of root elongation, fresh and oven-dry weight carbohydrate content of different parts of corn seedlings. A period of 24 hours soaking was most suitable to obtain regular growth of corn seedlings whether in distilled water or in nutrient solution
