The study of electric field effect to bending on the growth of the primary root of rice

Abstract

The growing of rice seeds (Oryza sativa L.) on a primary root stage are experimented under the condition with electric field at 28.5 kV/m varied electrode in horizontal direction and without electric field. This work is focused on the bending of the root direction were measurement the space angle after 8, 16 and 24 hour. These values with E-field and without E-field are compared. The result indicate that the majority direction of root is bended to negative electrode.
