The purpose of this study is to apply the sensing mechanism of plants to a new sensing system in the field of engineering. In this paper, it is presented that the sensing equipment which imitates the function of phytochrome in plants makes structure conversion, PR (red light receptor) and PFR (far-red light receptor), and its germination control. The sensor systems of this equipment have characteristics of control for switching on-off in accordance with the condition of environment. The performance of calculation circuits of this equipment was checked. As a result, it was clarified that this sensing equipment imitating the functions of phototransformation and germination control of plants was sufficiently operating.
