目的：研究了赤霉酸对豌豆矮化苗生长刺激的重复性条件。CV. Fruher Zwerg; 1997、1998、1999和2000年的收获）在8个独立的随机和盲法实验中测试它们对赤霉酸17倍和18倍的反应（与作为对照的未振荡和振荡水（1倍）相比）。将豌豆种子浸入顺势疗法效力或对照的水溶液中24小时，并在受控的实验室条件下培养。14天后测量豌豆芽长度。两个系统的阴性对照实验评估的实验setup.Results的稳定性：系统的阴性对照实验没有产生显着的影响，并证实了实验设置的稳定性。4批种子中有2批对顺势疗法治疗反应（p < 0.05）。种子批次1997显示出对赤霉酸17 x的可再现反应（芽长刺激为± 11.2%，p=0.007），并且种子批次1998显示出显著变化的反应（增加/减少）。1997种子批与其他3批的不同之处在于，增加了葡萄糖和果糖含量，降低了千粒重。Meta-anatysis与早期实验的数据是符合本实验series.Conclusions的结果：我们确定了“种子质量”作为一个可能的触发因素，成功的再现性顺势疗法的基础研究。过早收获作为一个可能的关键因素的反应矮豌豆顺势效力的赤霉酸是我们目前的工作假设，在未来的实验中进行测试。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objectives: Investigation of the conditions for reproducibility of dwarf pea shoot growth stimutation through homeopathic potencies of gibberellic acid.Methods: 4 batches of pea seed (Pisum sativum L. cv. Fruher Zwerg; harvests from 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000) were tested regarding their reaction to gibberellic acid 17x and 18x (compared to unsuccussed and succussed water (1x) as controls) in 8 independent randomized and blinded experiments. Pea seed was immersed for 24h in watery solutions of homeopathic potencies or controls, and cultivated under controlled laboratory conditions. Pea shoot length was measured after 14 days. Two systematic negative control experiments assessed the stability of the experimental set-up.Results: The systematic negative control experiments yielded no significant effects and confirmed the stability of the experimental set-up. 2 out of 4 seed batches reacted to the homeopathic treatment (p < 0.05). Seed batch 1997 showed a reproducible reaction to gibbereltic acid 17x (shoot length stimulation of + 11.2%, p=0.007), and seed batch 1998 showed a significant varying response (increase/decrease). Seed batch 1997 differed from the other 3 batches by an increased glucose and fructose content, and reduced 1000kernel weight. Meta-anatysis with data of earlier experiments is in accordance with the results of the present experimental series.Conclusions: We identified 'seed quality' as a possible trigger factor for successful reproducibility in homeopathic basic research. Premature harvesting as a possible key factor for responsiveness of dwarf peas to homeopathic potencies of gibberellic acid is our current working hypothesis to be tested in future experiments.
