“…The effect of weak permanent MFs (flux density of 185-650 μT) on the antioxidant system was reported in 5-day-old radish seedlings by Serdyukov and Novitskii (2013). Although the effect of MFs depended on its intensity, the dependence was non-linear.…”

Magnetic fields: how is plant growth and development impacted?

This review provides detailed insight on the effects of magnetic fields on germination, growth, development, and yield of plants focusing on ex vitro growth and development and discussing the possible physiological and biochemical responses. The MFs considered in this review range from the nanoTesla (nT) to geomagnetic levels, up to very strong MFs greater than 15 Tesla (T) and also super-weak MFs (near 0 T). The theoretical bases of the action of MFs on plant growth, which are complex, are not discussed here and thus far, there is limited mathematical background about the action of MFs on plant growth. MFs can positively influence the morphogenesis of several plants which allows them to be used in practical situations. MFs have thus far been shown to modify seed germination and affect seedling growth and development in a wide range of plants, including field, fodder, and industrial crops; cereals and pseudo-cereals; grasses; herbs and medicinal plants; horticultural crops (vegetables, fruits, ornamentals); trees; and model crops. This is important since MFs may constitute a non-residual and non-toxic stimulus. In addition to presenting and summarizing the effects of MFs on plant growth and development, we also provide possible physiological and biochemical explanations for these responses including stress-related responses of plants, explanations based on dia-, para-, and ferromagnetism, oriented movements of substances, and cellular and molecular changes.

“…It has been experimentally proven that MF can change activities of some scavenging enzymes such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione transferase (GT), peroxidase (POD), ascobtate peroxidase (APX), and polyphenoloxidase (POP). Experiments have been performed on several plant species, including pea, land snail ( Helix aspesa ), radish ( Raphanus sativus ), Leymus chinensis , soybean, cucumber ( Cucumis stivus ), broad bean, corn, parsley ( Petroselinum crispum ), and wheat (Xia and Guo, 2000 ; Regoli et al, 2005 ; Baby et al, 2011 ; Polovinkina et al, 2011 ; Anand et al, 2012 ; Bhardwaj et al, 2012 ; Jouni et al, 2012 ; Radhakrishnan and Kumari, 2012 , 2013 ; Shine and Guruprasad, 2012 ; Shine et al, 2012 ; Payez et al, 2013 ; Rajabbeigi et al, 2013 ; Serdyukov and Novitskii, 2013 ; Aleman et al, 2014 ; Haghighat et al, 2014 ). The results suggest that exposure to increased MF causes accumulation of reactive oxygen species and alteration of enzyme activities.…”

Magnetic field effects on plant growth, development, and evolution

The geomagnetic field (GMF) is a natural component of our environment. Plants, which are known to sense different wavelengths of light, respond to gravity, react to touch and electrical signaling, cannot escape the effect of GMF. While phototropism, gravitropism, and tigmotropism have been thoroughly studied, the impact of GMF on plant growth and development is not well-understood. This review describes the effects of altering magnetic field (MF) conditions on plants by considering plant responses to MF values either lower or higher than those of the GMF. The possible role of GMF on plant evolution and the nature of the magnetoreceptor is also discussed.

“…For Arabidopsis thaliana L. cryptochromes this possibility was theoretically justified [Solov'ov et al, 2007] and sensitivity to PMF action was demonstrated [Ahmad et al, 2007]. This point was partly confirmed [Serdyukov and Novitskii, 2013] by different response to PMF of light-and dark-grown 1-day-old radish seedlings, although their photosynthetic apparatus was not still formed.…”

Composition and content of lipids were studied in leaves of red perilla plants (Perilla nankinensis [Lour.] Decne.) grown in weak permanent horizontal magnetic field (PMF) of 500 µT flux density under controlled illumination, temperature, and humidity in the phytothron chamber. Control plants were grown under similar conditions, but without PMF exposure. Exposure of perilla plants for a month to PMF retarded plant flowering as compared to control. PMF treatment increased total lipid content, including polar lipids, among them glycolipids and phospholipids. PMF did not affect content of neutral lipids. It is concluded that PMF stimulated synthesis of membrane lipids of chloroplasts, mitochondria, and cytoplasm in perilla leaves. A possible role of PMF as a factor imitating the additional light source retarding flowering of a short-day perilla plants is discussed.
