Effect of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields on light-induced electric reactions in wheat

" The effects of MF on ion transport and electric potential generation in animal cells revealed earlier28,29 point onto the potential possibility of effect of MF onto electrogenesis in plants. Certain works explain experimentally observed effects of MF, such as effect on leaf motion in locomotor plants, right by action onto electrogenesis.30 A recent study showed that distribution of electric signals in plants produces magnetic fields.31 This shows the possibility of the reverse effect, such as the influence of external MF on electric reactions in plants. However, the effects of ELF magnetic field on electric reactions of plants induced by natural fluctuations of environmental factors have not been studied yet. The object of the present study is the effect of ELFMF with a Schumann resonance frequency on light-induced electric reaction and mechanisms of such an effect." {Credits 1}

" On the whole, the results of the present work demonstrate the influence of the extremely low-frequency MF on light-induced electric reactions in wheat plants. This effect can be realized through the action of the extremely low-frequency MF on the signaling systems that regulate the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ and the activity of H+-ATPase." {Credits 1}
