Water plays key role in a seed germination due to its participation in starting of many
metabolic processes that accompany the seed
germination. Rate of water uptake into seeds is a
usual basis for determination of the three germination phases. The water uptake into seeds during
their germination was investigated by many researchers who used various methods (e.g. magnetic
resonance mic

imaging, near

infrared hyperspectral imaging and visualization with I

/KI
solution (Lugol's iodine)). The method of using I
2
/KI water solution for this purpose is quite
popular for its relatively applicability. In this paper we compared the seed surface
area projection
and shape development of the seeds imbibed in the I
2
/KI solution and in the pure water via image
analysis. It was found that the presence of the I
2
/KI in water changes the increase of seeds volume
during germination and the effect is diffe
rent during the initial imbibition and during the next
germination phases. The seed shape development is similar for both variants, pure water and I
2
/KI
solution.
