A cytohistological analysis of roots whose growth is affected by a 60‐Hz electric field

Abstract: Roots of Pisum sativum were exposed for 48 h to 60-Hz electric fields of 430 V/m in an aqueous inorganic growth medium. The growth in length of the exposed roots was 44% of that for control roots. Root tips were analyzed for mitotic index and cell cycle duration. Mature, differentiated root sections from tissue produced after electrode energization were analyzed for cell lengths and number of files. The major reason for the observation that exposed roots are shorter than control roots is that cell elongation i… Show more

“…The effects found in the University of Rochester studies are believed due to a decrease in root-cell elongation rather than to any change in the proportion of cells in mitosis (Brulfert et al 1985). The studies also suggest that normal cell membrane functions are altered but not blocked by the strong electric fields.…”

“…Όσον αφορά το χρόνο έκθεσης, ποικίλει από 15 δευτερόλεπτα (Muszinski et al, 2009) μέχρι 24 ώρες (Martinez et al, 2009a). Τα αποτελέσματα έχουν δείξει τόσο θετικές (Eitken & Turan, 2004), όσο και αρνητικές επιδράσεις (Brulfert et al, 1985). Όσον αφορά το φυτικό υλικό, έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί πολλά πειράματα με σπόρους δημητριακών (Torres et al, 2008;Vashisth & Nagarajan, 2008;Vashisth & Nagarajan, 2010), ψυχανθή (Podlesny et al, 2004;Podlesny et al, 2005;e Souza et al;2006, d iam o et al, 2009Mart nez et al, 2009 ), και πολυετή φυτά ( elik et al, 2008;, Dardeniz et al, 2006;Dhawi & Al-Khayri, 2009).…”
