“…Inactivation of those enzymes by heat or pressure may have interrupted the process and thus impeded the development of a visible seedling. Opposed observations about the influence of PEF on the germination ability are published in several articles (Bokka et al, 2009;Dymek et al, 2012;Songnuan & Kirawanich, 2012). Dymek et al (2012) related the radicle emergence of barley seeds after electroporation to a reduction in amylase activity as the gross metabolic activity of the seeds was not changed.…”

“…The stress from damage resulted in the rapid growth, and therefore the plant showed increased growth rates. Wisuwat et al emphasized that nsPEFs as an abiotic stress can create channels on the membrane, and the stored nutrients in the tissues could be released to the embryo, making it possible for the seeds to grow faster Figure .…”

The influences of nsPEFs on the early physiological development of Haloxylon ammodendron were studied, and a growth stimulating effect after nsPEFs exposure were detected. We investigated the effect of nsPEFs on the germination rate and the radical lengths of H. ammodendron seed. Statistical analysis showed that pre-growth was significantly improved. In addition, the NO, pH of the liquid system after nsPEFs treatment were monitored. We inferred that NO and ORP were more positively involved in the early growth effects of H. ammodendron seed. Even if the underlying biophysical mechanism is still unclear, the result suggests the possibility to influence desert plant growth by using nsPEFs.

Desertification is one of world-wide environmental problems and it affects the livelihoods of millions of people, as it occur s on all continents. In order to prevent and reverse desertificat ion, reforestation is one of necessary approaches. Little plant can survive in the dry and extreme conditions in desert, and a mong these plants, Saxaul (Haloxylon ammodendron) is a ver y rare and successful species living in northwest China and m iddle Asia. Saxaul is less expensive and more effective; howe ver, direct seeding of this species, has not been promising. Al so, the seedlings of this species grow at a relatively slow rate, resulting in a mature and useful weapon against desertificati on in at least 4 or 5 years. A number of reasons have been pro posed to explain the unsuccessful plant establishment after se eding. Nanosecond pulsed electric fields, known as nsPEFs, h as shown to have accelerating effects on model plant growth r ate [1] [2] .In this study, the effects of nsPEFs on the germination, emerg ence and growth of the sexual seeds were observed and inves tigated. The seeds were exposed to 5 and 20 pulses with durat ion of 100ns at electric field intensity of 10, 20 and 30 kV/cm, separately. Parts of the treated and untreated (refers as "contr ol") seeds were placed on wet filter paper and for germinatio n, and the others were sowed in certain sand for long term gr owth. Germination percent of the treated seeds were higher th an control group after 24 hours, and the radical lengths of tre ated seeds were also longer after 48 hours. The treated seedli ngs emerged earlier than the control group. But when the ene rgy was too high, the stimulating effect changed into necrosis. Root lengths were also measured, and possible mechanism w as discussed in the paper. The nsPEFs with proper parameters may have potentials in improving the growth rate of Saxaul.1. W. Songnuan and P.
