AB In recent years, the application of magnetism in agriculture has been paid more
and more attention to, especially in the field of its treatment on the seed
germination and physiological indexes of seedlings grown out of them. In this
experiment, the radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seeds of two cultivars 'Carmen' and
'Szkarlatna z Bialym Koncem' were treated by 20 mT low frequency magnetic field
(LFMF) for 10, 30 and 60 minutes, respectively. The MF was generated from a Viofor
JPS Delux - a patented device adopted from the routine medical magnetic therapy. By
measuring their seed germination rate (energy), seedling length and fresh weight,
it was proved that LFMF improved the seed quality of both radish cultivars and the
best results were received for the longest exposing time. The received that way
results were similar as reported for priming of radish seeds. The developed
treatment has a great potential in replacing traditional seed priming methods.
However, for its commercial use, for selected crops and cultivars, further research
is still needed.

AB The study analyses the impact of alternating (magnetic induction B=30 mT for
t=60 s) and constant magnetic fields (B=130 mT for t=17 h) and alternating electric
fields (electric current E=5 kV/cm for t=60 s) on various growth parameters of soy
plants: the germination energy and capacity, plants emergence, the fresh mass of
seedlings, protein content (Kjeldahl's method), and photosynthetic parameters (with
MINI-PAM 2000 WALTZ Photosynthesis Yield Analyser and a SPAD-502 Chlorophyll
Meter). Four cultivars were used: MAVKA, MERLIN, VIOLETTA, and ANUSZKA. Moreover,
the advanced Machine Learning processing pipeline was proposed to distinguish the
impact of physical factors on photosynthetic parameters. The use of electromagnetic
fields had a positive impact on the germination rate in MERLIN seeds. The best
results in terms of germination improvement were observed for alternating magnetic
field stimulation in all cultivars (p>0.05). For the VIOLETTA cultivar an increase
(p>0.05) in the emergence and overall number of plants as well as fresh mass was
observed after electromagnetic field stimulation. For the MAVKA and MERLIN
cultivars, the concentration of proteins in the leaves was noticeably higher in
plants grown from seeds stimulated using a constant magnetic field.

AB Laser stimulation is a non-expensive and environmentally safe way of the
improving of seeds quality. The objective of the study was to determine the effect
of He-Ne laser irradiation on the germination parameters of scorzonera seeds. Seeds
were characterized with different quality expressed by germination capacity.
Experimental material consisted of 4 lots of scorzonera seeds having initial
germination capacity between 50.8 and 93.0%. Seeds were treated with laser He-Ne
light of surface power density of 3 mW.cm(-2) and the time of exposition of 0
(control), 1, 5, 10 and 30 minutes. After pre-sowing stimulation of seeds the
following parameters were estimated: germination energy, germination capacity, mean
germination time, speed of germination, hypocotyl length, length of radicle, fresh
and dry weight of seedling, field emergence, mean emergence time and speed of
emergence. Pre-sowing laser treatment resulted in increasing of the several
parameters such as germination energy, germination capacity, speed of germination,
hypocotyl and radicle length, as well as fresh and dry weight of seedlings. Laser
light stimulation was the most effective in the case of low quality seeds (initial
germination capacity of 50.8%). Irradiation of the seeds belonging to this group
also resulted in the increase of the seedling emergence and the speed of emergence.

AB The study aimed to determine the impact of laser light (L), magnetic stimulation
(p) and silver nanocolloid (AgNC) on pumpkin seeds on the germination rate and
content of photosynthetic pigments as well as the efficiency of photosynthesis and
greenness index in the plant's development stages. Seeds germinated after the use
of various combinations of different refining techniques. The best results were
observed for the alternating magnetic field, where the germination energy increased
significantly by 20% relative to the control. A similar effect was observed in
terms of germination capacity which increased by 4%. A decrease in terms of
emergence rate was observed in all study groups. Leaves grown from seeds soaked in
nanocolloidal silver on platters were characterised by a significantly higher
content of chlorophyll a and b by, respectively, 53 and 11%, as well as 79% higher
carotenoid content. The leaves of potted plants contained 42 and 43% more
chlorophyll a in groups p and AgNC. In addition, 66 and 81% more carotenoids in
groups L and p. At the stage of the onset of flowering of pumpkin, an improvement
in terms of photosynthetic efficiency and greenness index was observed in all study
groups. The highest improvement was recorded for seeds soaked in silver and reached
23% (intensity of photosynthesis) and 11% (greenness index SPAD).

AB Difficult-to-germinate seeds are a common plant conservation, plantation and
biotechnological problem. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) seed germination takes 6
months to 1 year with approximate to 40% failure rate. We investigated the affect
of various electromagnetic DC field strengths on oil palm germination. Kernels
imbibed water more effectively when exposed to a magnetic field. The kernels were
divided into three groups. The first group (50) was soaked (imbibed) in distilled
water (2 h) with no exposure to applied magnetic fields (blank control). The second
group was exposed to magnetic fields with intensities of 2.5 mT, 5.0 mT, 7.0 mT,
9.0 mT and 11.0 mT for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h (Dry Treated Kernels, DTK). The same
electromagnetic protocol was conducted on a third group but with kernels which were
immersed in water (Magnetically-Treated-Water-Kernels, MTWK). 96% germination was
achieved by day-30 for the MTWK treatment using 9.0 mT for 4h: slightly lower
results were found for DTK kernels. None of the controls germinated within 30 days.
Young oil palm seedlings kept in a shade house (110 mol quanta m(-2) s(-1) PPFD)
watered every day with MTW grew 3 times faster (3.1 mm day(-1)) than controls
watered using unmagnetised water. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Seed germination is the primary stage of growth in a seed. A wealth of
experiments exist in literature to support the existence of correlation between
seed germination to the electric and magnetic fields. This becomes more important
as researchers have suggested to develop technologies to build ecologically clean
and environment-friendly solutions to agricultural practices. Although the
literature supports the existence of seed germination acceleration, the lack of a
definite causal theory has been observed by numerous researchers over decades.
After considering all the existing experimental data, we have formulated a causal
theory to explain the factors influencing seed germination around high voltage DC
transmission lines. This work opens new avenues of research in this field. (C) 2021

AB Seed pre-sowing magnetic field treatment was reported to induce biochemical and
physiological changes. In the present study, response surface methodology was used
for deduction of optimal magnetic field doses. Improved growth and yield responses
in the pea cultivar were achieved using a rotatable central composite design and
multivariate data analysis. The growth parameters such as root and shoot fresh
masses and lengths as well as yield were enhanced at a certain magnetic field
level. The chlorophyll contents were also enhanced significantly vs. the control.
The low magnetic field strength for longer duration of exposure/high strength for
shorter exposure were found to be optimal points for maximum responses in root
fresh mass, chlorophyll 'a' contents, and green pod yield/plant, respectively and a
similar trend was observed for other measured parameters. The results indicate that
the magnetic field pre-sowing seed treatment can be used practically to enhance the
growth and yield in pea cultivar and response surface methodology was found an
efficient experimental tool for optimization of the treatment level to obtain
maximum response of interest.

AB This study explored the effects of cold plasma treatment on seed germination,
plant growth, and peanut yield. Cold plasma treatment improved germination and
seedling growth, and the 120 W treatment produced the best effect. Germination
potential and germination rate were markedly raised by 150% and 21%, respectively.
Germination was accelerated and the uniformity of emergence improved. The apparent
contact angle was decreased by 53%. Seedling shoot and root dry weights increased
by 11% and 9%. Leaf area, leaf thickness, leaf nitrogen concentration, chlorophyll
contents, and dry weight at the fruiting stage, together with plant height, stem
diameter, and root dry weight at the mature stage were all markedly raised by the
cold plasma treatment. The cold plasma treatment enhanced yield components, such as
branch numbers per plant, pod numbers per plant, and 100 pod weights by 8%, 13%,
and 9%, respectively, compared to the control. Furthermore, the yield improved by
10%. These results suggested that cold plasma treatment improved germination, plant
growth, and yield, which might be due to the cold plasma increasing the leaf area,
nitrogen concentrations, and chlorophyll contents.

AB The need for some economic strategies for increased growth and nutraceuticals of
medicinal plants is well acknowledged now. It was hypothesized that external
magnetic field treatment (MFT) of seeds affecting internal magnet of cells may
affect growth and metabolism. In this study, seeds were subjected to pre-sowing
magnetic field (50mT at 5mm for 5s). At vegetative stage, the leaf growth,
chlorophyll content, catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), amino acids, proteins,
flavonoids, soluble sugars, total soluble phenolics, carotenoids, anthocyanins,
phenolic profile (HPLC based), and antimicrobial activity of leaves (in terms of
the minimum inhibitory concentration against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa) were studied. Yield was evaluated for nutritive components in fruit
(peel+pulp) and peel. MFT improved germination percentage, growth, leaf
chlorophyll, antimicrobial activity, peel amino acids, phenolics, and POD with
negligible effect on fruit nutritive value. Moreover, photosynthetic pigments and
cinnamic acid exhibited direct correlation with antimicrobial potential against
both pathogens. However, sinapic acid showed positive correlation against
Staphylococcus aureus only. Cinnamic acid, coumaric acid, syringic acid, and
quercetin were in direct correlation against Pseudomonas aeruginosa; it was
directly correlated with total flavonoids too. In conclusion, magnetic field can be
used to manipulate plant cell metabolism promising improvement of growth,
antimicrobial activity, and phenolics of interest.

AB There is a large body of experimental data demonstrating various effects of
magnetic field (MF) on plants growth and development. Although the mechanism(s) of
perception of MF by plants is not yet elucidated, there is a possibility that like
other stimuli, MF exerts its effects on plants by changing membrane integrity and
conductance of its water channels, thereby influencing growth characteristics. In
this study, the seeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Kavir) were imbibed in
water overnight and then treated with or without a 30-mT static magnetic field
(SMF) and a 10-kHz electromagnetic field (EMF) for 4 days, each 5 h. Water uptake
of seeds reduced 5 h of the treatment with EMF but did not show changes in SMF
treatment. Exposure to both magnetic fields did not affect germination percent of
the seeds but increased the speed of germination, compared to the control group.
Treatment with EMF significantly reduced seedling length and subsequently vigor
index I, while SMF had no effects on these parameters. Both treatments
significantly increased vigor index II, compared to the control group. These
treatments also remarkably increased catalase activity and proline contents of
seedlings but reduced the activity of peroxidase, the rate of lipid peroxidation
and electrolyte leakages of membranes. The results suggest promotional effects of
EMFs on membrane integrity and growth characteristics of wheat seedlings.

AB Irrigation plant with magnetic water can improve the growth and development of
plants. This work was carried out to study the response of cucumber (Cucumis
sativus L.) plant using magnetized, potable, and moderate saline water under
greenhouse condition. Plants were irrigated with water passed through magnetic
device with its magnetic field in the range of 3.5-136 mT for magnetic treatment of
irrigation water. Results indicated that, irrigation plants with magnetic water
induce positive effect on all studied parameters such as chemical constitutes,
nutrient uptake, and soil properties especially in the fourth week of harvest
compared with potable and saline water. Moreover, seed germination, growth in terms
of shoot length. leaves number, and canopy volume and yield were significantly
increased with using magnetized water. The technology of magnetic treatment water
has positive effects on plant productivity. it is easy to apply and have less
impact on the environment compared to other practices. Therefore, magnetic water
could be one of the most promising ways of applying a magnetic field in the future
to enhance agricultural production in an environmentally friendly way.

AB Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly reactive gaseous free radical, which in plants was
found to stimulate seed germination and ending of dormancy. Experiments were
conducted to study the effect of NO inhibitors sodium tungstate (ST) and N omega-
nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), NADPH oxidase inhibitor
diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) and N omega donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on untreated
and magnetoprimed maize (Zea mays var: GSF-2) seeds. Treatment of maize seeds with
these inhibitors inhibited germination related parameters like seedling length,
fresh weight, dry weight and vigour indices and a-amylase activity of maize seeds
under laboratory conditions, whereas NO donor (SNP) promoted all these parameters.
Among 3 different inhibitors used ST was most effective and showed an inhibition in
seedling length of 67% and 71% at 1 mM concentration for untreated (UT) and
magnetically treated (MT) seeds respectively. Data presented here indicate the
involvement of nitric oxide in enhanced germination and seedling growth of
magnetoprimed maize seeds. ROS are continuosly produced by the cells of germinating
seeds and play a positive role in germination of magnetoprimed maize seeds. ROS
inhibitor (DPI) inhibited seedling length by 34% and 40% for control and MT seeds
respectively. alpha-amylase activity was also inhibited by all the 3 inhibitors
used. It is concluded that NO inhibitors and ROS inhibitor inhibited magnetic field
induced promotion of seedling parameters and alpha-amylase activity of maize seeds.

AB Different factors (e.g., light, humidity, and temperature) including exposure to
static magnetic fields (SMFs), referred here as critical factors, can significantly
affect horticultural seed performance. However, the link between magnetic field
parameters and other interdependent factors affecting seed viability is unclear.
The importance of these critical factors affecting tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
var. MST/32 seed performance was assessed after performing several treatments based
on a L-9 (3(4)) (four factors at three levels) orthogonal array (OA) design. The
variable factors in the design were magnetic flux density (R-1 = 332.1 +/- 37.8 mT;
R-2 = 108.7 +/- 26.9 mT; and R-3 = 50.6 +/- 10.5 mT), exposure time (1, 2, and 24
h), seed orientation (North polarity, South polarity, and control - no magnetic
field), and relative humidity (RH) (7.0, 25.5, and 75.5%). After seed moisture
content stabilisation at the different chosen RH, seeds were exposed in dark under
laboratory conditions to several treatments based on the OA design before
performance evaluation. Treatments not employing magnetic field exposure were used
as controls. Results indicate that electrolyte leakage rate was reduced by a factor
of 1.62 times during seed imbibition when non-uniform SMFs were employed. Higher
germination (similar to 11.0%) was observed in magnetically-exposed seeds than in
non-exposed ones, although seedlings emerging from SMF treatments did not show a
consistent increase in biomass accumulation. The respective influence of the four
critical factors tested on seed performance was ranked (in decreasing order) as
seed orientation to external magnetic fields, magnetic field strength, RH, and
exposure time. This study suggests a significant effect of non-uniform SMFs on seed
performance with respect to RH, and more pronounced effects are observed during
seed imbibition rather than during later developmental stages. (C) 2013 Elsevier

AB The main objective of this paper was to study the effect of magneto-priming on
abiotic stressed Triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) seeds germination. Several
osmotic potential levels were generated by Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) - drought
stress - and Sodium Chloride (NaCl) - salt stress -, changing their concentrations
in the irrigation water. The adverse effect of the mentioned stresses on Triticale
seed germination was improved by magneto-priming consisting in applying a seed
pretreatment of 3.71 mT (milliTeslas) stationary magnetic field during 10 h. Mean
germination time (MGT) as well as time required to 10% and 50% of seeds to be
germinated (t(10) and t(50)) boosted with a decrease of osmotic potential in both
NaCl and PEG solutions. Both stressors lengthened germination parameters; however,
PEG delayed it more than NaCl did. Magneto-primed seed parameters were clearly
improved in comparison to the corresponding ones of non-primed seeds. The Hydro-
time model was applied in order to gain a better knowing of the germination rate-
water potential relationship.

AB Two experiments were done in 2008 and 2009 to study the effects of magnetic
field and silver nanoparticles on fodder maize (Zea mays L.). These experiments
were done with seven treatments based on a randomized complete block design in four
replications. The treatments were as follows: magnetic field and silver
nanoparticles + Kemira fertilizer (T1), magnetic field and silver nanoparticles +
Humax fertilizer (T2), magnetic field and silver nanoparticles (T3), Kemira
fertilizer (T4), Librel fertilizer (T5), Humax fertilizer (T6), and a control (T7).
Results showed that fresh yield was higher in treatments T3 and T4. Treatments T3
and T4 had increased maize fresh yields of 35 and 17.5 % in comparison to the
control, respectively. The dry matter yield of those plants exposed to magnetic
field and silver nanoparticles was significantly higher than that from any of the
other treatments. Magnetic field and silver nanoparticle treatments (T3 and T1)
showed higher percentages for ears, and the lowest percentages were found in
treatments T7 and T5. In general, the soil conditions for crop growth were more
favorable in 2009 than in 2008, which caused the maize to respond better to
treatments tested in the study; therefore, treatments had more significant effects
on studied traits in 2008 than in 2009.

AB The 60 Hz electromagnetic field effects during the germination process in seeds
of Vigna unguiculata L. with more than one year of storage was determined. Three
electromagnetic treatments (2.00; 4.00 and 6.00 mT) were performed. A local
electromagnetic stimulator device (BioNaK-03) (Patent No.22602/1999) was used. Each
induction was applied to 100 seeds without imbibition (SSI) per treatment and the
same to imbibition seeds (ICS) during 9 minutes. Two control groups (SSI and SCI)
were established. Percentage of germination, germination speed and length of shoot
and radicle were evaluated. At the end, 13.3 % of germination in imbibed and
treated seeds with 2.00 mT was increased. A reduction in 54 % of this parameter to
4.00 mT in seeds without imbibition was obtained. Likewise, the highest value in
shoot length in the seedlings of green bean for the plants that received the
electromagnetic treatment was observed. At the same time, a reduction in the length
of the radicle for the treatment of 6.00 mT was obtained. The results, although not
entirely conclusive, show that the application of a magnetic treatment of 2.00 mT
for 9 minutes improved the germination and growth of V. unguiculata seeds.

AB Electronic devices and high-voltage wires induce magnetic fields. A magnetic
field of 1,300-2,500 Gauss (0.2 Tesla) was applied to Petri dishes containing seeds
of Garden Balsam (Impatiens balsamina), Mizuna (Brassica rapa var. japonica),
Komatsuna (Brassica rapa var. perviridis), and Mescluns (Lepidium sativum). We
applied magnets under the culture dish. During the 4 days of application, we
observed that the stem and root length increased. The group subjected to magnetic
field treatment (n = 10) showed a 1.4 times faster rate of growth compared with the
control group (n = 11) in a total of 8 days (p < 0.0005). This rate is 20% higher
than that reported in previous studies. The tubulin complex lines did not have
connecting points, but connecting points occur upon the application of magnets.
This shows complete difference from the control, which means abnormal arrangements.
However, the exact cause remains unclear. These results of growth enhancement of
applying magnets suggest that it is possible to enhance the growth rate, increase
productivity, or control the speed of germination of plants by applying static
magnetic fields. Also, magnetic fields can cause physiological changes in plant
cells and can induce growth. Therefore, stimulation with a magnetic field can have
possible effects that are similar to those of chemical fertilizers, which means
that the use of fertilizers can be avoided.

AB Crop yield can be raised by establishment of adequate plant stand using seeds
with high germination ratio and vigor. Various pre-sowing treatments are adopted to
achieve this objective. One of these approaches is the exposure of seeds to a low-
to-medium level magnetic field (MF), in pulsed and continuous modes, as they have
shown positive results in a number of crop seeds. On the basis of the sensitivity
of plants to MF, different types of MF have been used for magnetopriming studies,
such as weak static homogeneous magnetic fields (0-100 mu T, including GMF), strong
homogeneous magnetic fields (milliTesla to Tesla), and extremely low frequency
(ELF) magnetic fields of low-to-moderate (several hundred mu T) magnetic flux
densities. The agronomic application of MFs in plants has shown potential in
altering conventional plant production systems; increasing mean germination rates,
and root and shoot growth; having high productivity; increasing photosynthetic
pigment content; and intensifying cell division, as well as water and nutrient
uptake. Furthermore, different studies suggest that MFs prevent the large injuries
produced/inflicted by diseases and pests on agricultural crops and other
economically important plants and assist in reducing the oxidative damage in plants
caused by stress situations. An improved understanding of the interactions between
the MF and the plant responses could revolutionize crop production through
increased resistance to disease and stress conditions, as well as the superiority
of nutrient and water utilization, resulting in the improvement of crop yield. In
this review, we summarize the potential applications of MF and the key processes
involved in agronomic applications. Furthermore, in order to ensure both the safe
usage and acceptance of this new opportunity, the adverse effects are also
discussed.

ID MAGNETIC-FIELD; PLANT-GROWTH; GERMINATION; L.
AB The use of magnetic field as a presowing treatment has been adopted by
researchers as a new environmental friendly technique. The aim of this study was to
determine the effect of magnetic field exposure on tomato seeds covering a range of
parameters such as transplanting percentage, plant height, shoot diameter, number
of leaves per plant, fresh weight, dry weight, number of flowers, yield, and
lycopene content. Pulsed electromagnetic field was used for 0, 5, 10, and 15
minutes as a presowing treatment of tomato seeds in a field experiment for two
years. Papimi device (amplitude on the order of 12.5mT) has been used. The use of
pulsed electromagnetic field as a presowing treatment was found to enhance plant
growth in tomato plants at certain duration of exposure. Magnetic field treatments
and especially the exposure of 10 and 15 minutes gave the best results in all
measurements, except plant height and lycopene content. Yield per plant was higher
in magnetic field treatments, compared to control. MF-15 treatment yield was 80.93%
higher than control treatment. Lycopene content was higher in magnetic field
treatments, although values showed no statistically significant differences.

AB The influence of weak permanent horizontal magnetic field (PMF, field strength
similar to 400 A/m) on lipid peroxidation was studied with 5-day-old radish
(Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula D.C.) seedlings grown in a phytotron at 18-
20a"integral under illuminance of 1-6 klx and in darkness. Seedlings raised at
geomagnetic field (GMF) were used as the reference (control) sample. Under the
action of PMF, the largest content of a terminal lipid peroxidation product, MDA
was observed in seedlings grown at illuminance of 2-3 klx. No clear dependence of
MDA accumulation on light intensity during seedling growth was observed. The action
of PMF altered the proportion between light and dark reactions of lipid
peroxidation; lipid peroxidation decreased in the magnetic field. During seed
germination under the action of PMF, the content of MDA was found to decrease: the
largest decrease was observed in 5-day-old seedlings at illuminance of 1 klx. The
permanent magnetic field acted as a correcting factor by affecting the MDA content.

AB Impact of pre-sowing exposure of seeds to static magnetic field were studied on
1 month old maize [Zea mays (.) var: HQPM.1] plants under field conditions. Pre-
standardized magnetic field strength of 100 mT (2 h) and 200 mT (1 h), which were
proven best for improving different seedling parameters under laboratory condition,
were used for this study. Magnetic field treatment altered growth, superoxide
radical level, antioxidant enzymes and photosynthesis. Among the different growth
parameters, leaf area and root length were the most enhanced parameters (78-40%,
respectively), over untreated plants. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy
study showed that superoxide radical was reduced and hydroxyl radical was
unaffected after magnetic field treatment. With decrease in free radical content,
antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and peroxidase were also reduced by
43 and 23%, respectively, in plants that emerged from magnetically treated seeds.
Measurement of Chlorophyll a fluorescence by plant efficiency analyzer showed that
the potential of processing light energy through photosynthetic machinery was
enhanced by magnetic field treatment. Performance index of the plant enhanced up to
two-fold and phenomenological leaf model showed more active reaction centers after
magnetic field treatment. Among the two field strengths used, 200 mT (1 h) was more
effective in altering all these parameters. It is concluded that pre-sowing
magnetic field treatment can be effectively used for improving plant growth and
development under field conditions.

AB Magnetized water treatment technology is usually used to improve poor quality
water, and there is still a lack of study on fresh water. To understand the
biological effects of different strength magnetized fresh water (MFW), seed
germination and potted experiments on cotton were carried out to study the effects
of MFW with different magnetic intensity (0, 100, 300, 500 mT). Results showed that
the surface tension coefficient of MFW reduced by 7.3-10.5%, whilst dissolved
oxygen concentrations increased by 8.8-12.7%. Germination strength indexes of
cotton cultivated with MFW significantly increased, showing potential and vigor
indexes of 16.8-22.4% and 47.4-78.0%, respectively. The emergence rate of cotton
irrigated with MFW was faster and higher, with recorded values of 7.7-13.1%. The
net photosynthetic rate (P-n) and instantaneous water use efficiency (iWUE) of
cotton increased significantly, whereas the stomatal limit value (L-s) decreased.
In all, results suggest the total biomasses of MFW irrigated cotton have
significantly increased. Therefore, it is suggested that MFW may more effectively
promote the utilization of water and light in cotton under magnetic field
intensities of 300-500 mT. The results can provide guidance for the efficient
utilization of magnetized fresh water in arid and semi-arid areas.

AB The effects of pulsed magnetic field (PATE) treatment of soybean (Glycine max L.
cv CO3) seeds were investigated on rate of seed germination, seedling growth,
physico-chemical properties of seed leachates and soil microbial population under
laboratory conditions. Seeds were exposed to PMF of 1500 nT at 0.1, 1.0 10.0 and
100.0 Hz for 5 h per day for 20 days, induced by enclosure coil systems. Non-
treated seeds were considered as controls. All PMF treatments significantly
increased the rate of seed germination, while 10 and 100 Hz PMFs showed the most
effective response. The 1.0 and 10 Hz PMFs remarkably improved the fresh weight of
shoots and roots, leaf area and plant height from seedlings from magnetically-
exposed seeds compared to the control, while 10 Hz PMF increased the total soluble
sugar, total protein and phenol contents. The leaf chlorophyll a, b and total
chlorophyll were higher in PMF (10 and 100 Hz) pretreated plants, as compared to
other treatments. In addition, activities of a-amylase, acid phosphatase, alkaline
phosphatase, nitrate reductase, peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase were increased,
while beta-amylase and protease activities were declined in PMF (10 Hz)-exposed
soybean. plants. Similarly, the capacity of absorbance of water by seeds and
electrical conductivity of seed leachates were significantly enhanced by 10 Hz PMF
exposure, whereas PMF (10 Hz) pretreated plants did not affect the microbial
population in rhizosphere soil. The results suggested the potential of 10 Hz PMF
treatment to enhance the germination and seedling growth of soybean.

AB The ability of extremely low, time-varying electromagnetic field (EMF) to
improve germination efficacy was studied in Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) seeds
using response surface methodology. An optimal factorial central composite design
was chosen to optimize the EMF with three critical factors, viz. frequency,
intensity, and duration. The adequacy of the model and fitness was evaluated by
analysis of variance and regression coefficients. This model suggested that the
factors, frequency, and intensity had a significant impact on germination. Optimal
conditions for germination were observed to be 10 Hz frequency, 30,007 nT
intensity, and 30-min duration with an observed germination percentage of 93.0, and
a predicted germination percentage of 92.92. Magneto-priming was found to increase
the germination efficacy (15.66%), shoot length (27.78%), total seedling length
(20.30%), seedling dry mass (26.49%), and water uptake (34.48% at 80 min) showing
significant output when compared with the control and positive controls. Remarkable
improvements were observed in germination parameters such as vigor index-1
(39.14%), vigor index-2 (46.28%), speed of germination (27.52%), and emergence
index (12.50%). Magneto-priming was found to reduce the levels of germination-
specific enzymes, viz. alpha-amylase, protease, and dehydrogenase, while it
enhanced the levels of antioxidant enzymes, viz. catalase (114.63%) and superoxide
dismutase (19.62%), triggering fast germination and early vigor of seedlings. This
study clearly showed that EMF priming significantly improved the germination effect

AB Seed priming (halo-and hydro-priming) and magnetic seed treatments have been
used to invigorate seeds. Primed seeds cannot be stored for long duration due to
start of gemination processes, although dried to initial seed moisture content at
the end of lag phase of germination. On the other hand, magnetic seed treatment
invigorates the seeds without starting germination processes and so considered safe
for storage of seeds. The comparative evaluation as well as their impact on various
physiological aspects of okra plant has been scarcely evaluated. A field experiment
was conducted to compare the impact of seed priming (hydro-priming and halo-
priming) and magnetic field seed treatments, on growth, photosynthesis related
attributes and yield of two okra cv. Sabz Pari and Super Green during summer 2016.
Seeds of both cultivars, primed in water (hydro-priming), salt solution (halo-
priming using NaCl 1%, ZnSO4 0.1%, CuSO4 0.1%, H3BO3 1%, KNO3 1% and 2%), or
exposed to magnetic field of 100 or 200 mT for 10 or 20 minutes, were sown in field
according to randomized complete block design under factorial arrangements. Results
revealed that magnetic field seed treatment, specifically 100 mT for 20 minutes,
improved emergence (25-34% over control), seedling fresh and dry weight, leaf
weight, pod length, number of fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant (27-38%
over control). Chlorophyll contents of both okra cultivars were highest in response
to seed priming with 1% KNO3. Transpiration rate and net photosynthetic rate of
both okra cultivars were also high for plants grown using 100 mT for 20 minutes
treated seeds of both cultivars. While, sub-stomatal conductance of cv. Sabz Pari
and Super Green was highest in response to 100 mT for 10 minutes and 1% NaCl,
respectively. However, water use efficiency of Sabz Pari and Super Green was
highest for plants raised using seeds primed in 1% KNO3 and 1% H3BO3, respectively.
It may be inferred that pre-sowing magnetic field treatment of seed (100 mT for 20
minutes) can be effectively used to improve okra crop stand establishment, growth
and yield followed by seed priming in 1% KNO3. Moreover, magnetic seed treatment,
being less damaging to seed, is more suitable than priming; the later one decreases
storage life of seed.

intensity was studied. One group of Arabidopsis thaliana seeds was cultivated under
one intensity of electric field. Four values of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 kV/m were
chosen for applied field intensity. Applying duration was four days. Then, seed
germination rate and stem length of seedling were obtained. As a result, it is
shown that dc field improves seed germination rate and seedling stem length. Also,
the length of seedling stem is increased with dc field up to 10.0 kV/m with
comparatively high reliability by the statistical test, while above 10.0 kV/m it
seems to saturate.

AB The experimental study of germination and water absorption by Triticale seeds
previously magnetically treated was carried out under laboratory conditions. Seeds
were magnetically treated for 10 hours under 3.71 mT (milliTesla). The germination
and absorption processes of treated and control seeds were studied at two different
temperature levels: 10 degrees C and 20 degrees C, and the resulting hydration data
were fitted to Peleg's equation. An increase in water uptake rate has been
observed, probably due to the applied magnetic field, and may be the explanation
for the increase in the germination rate of treated seeds also observed.
At both temperature levels, the treated seeds absorbed more water than the
control ones, reaching an increase of 50%. At higher temperatures, seeds absorbed
more water. The adjustment of water absorption by seeds to the Peleg's model
obtained at least an R-2 of 0.97.
The action mechanism of magnetic fields on the germination rate is related to
the water absorption by seeds during the germination process.

AB Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) seeds were irradiated with microwaves at
various power levels of 200, 400, 600 and 800 W for 10 or 30 s. The irradiated
grains were germinated for 3, 5, and 7 days and harvested. The germination rate of
the tartary buckwheat seeds and contents of some compounds in the sprouts were
investigated. The results showed that the exposure to 600 W microwaves for 10 s
resulted in the highest final germination rate after 7 days of germination, which
was 2 times that of the control. The exposure of seeds to 800 W for 30 s showed the
lowest germination rate (approximately 10%), which decreased by 87% compared with
the control (p<0.05). The exposure at 600 W for 30 s stimulated the total flavones
content, reduced the sugar and soluble protein contents, and increased the 2,2-
diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. The highest free
amino acid content (11 mg/g) was observed in 5-day sprouts exposed to 800 W for 10
s. Moreover, the microwave treatment had a positive effect on the catalase (CAT)
and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity.

TI Impact of magnetic field on the translocation of iron oxide

AB The effect and contribution of an external magnetic field (MF) on the uptake and
translocation of nanoparticles (NPs) in plants have been investigated in this
study. Barley was treated with iron oxide NPs (Fe3O4, 500 mg/L, 50-100 nm) and
grown under various MF strengths (20, 42, 125, and 250 mT). The root-to-shoot
translocation of NPs was assessed using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and
inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Additionally,
plant phenological parameters, such as germination, protein and chlorophyll
content, and photosynthetic and nutritional status, were examined. The results
demonstrated that the external MF significantly enhances the uptake of NPs through
the roots. The uptake was higher at lower MF strengths (20 and 42 mT) than at
higher MF strengths (125 and 250 mT). The root and shoot iron (Fe) contents were
approximately 2.5-3-fold higher in the 250 mT application compared to the control.
Furthermore, the MF treatments significantly increased micro-elements such as Mn,
Zn, Cu, Mo, and B (P < 0.005). This effect could be attributed to the disruption of
cell membranes at the root tip cells caused by both the MF and NPs. Moreover, the
MF treatments improved germination rates by 28%, total protein content, and
photosynthetic parameters. These findings show that magnetic field application
helps the effective transport of magnetic NPs, which could be essential for NPs-
mediated drug delivery, plant nutrition, and genetic transformation applications.

AB Chickpea seeds of Pusa 1053 (Mediterranean) and Pusa 256 (native) were
magnetoprimed with 100 mT static magnetic field for 1 h to evaluate the effect of
magnetopriming on germination of seeds under saline conditions. Enhanced rate of
germination and seedling growth parameters (root and shoot length, and vigour
indices) under different salinity levels indicated that magnetopriming was more
effective in alleviating salinity stress at early seedling stage in Pusa 1053 as
compared to Pusa 256. Dynamics of seed water absorption in magnetoprimed seeds
showed increased water uptake in Pusa 1053 under non-saline as compared to saline
conditions. This could have resulted in faster hydration of enzymes in primed seeds
leading to higher rate of germination. Total amylase, protease and dehydrogenase
activities were higher in primed seeds as compared to unprimed seeds under both
non-saline and saline conditions. Production of superoxide radicals was enhanced in
germinating seeds of both the genotypes under salinity irrespective of priming.
Increased levels of hydrogen peroxide in germinating magnetoprimed seeds, under
both the growing conditions, suggested its role in promotion of germination. Our
results showed that magnetopriming of dry seeds of chickpea can be effectively used
as a pre-sowing treatment for mitigating adverse effects of salinity at seed
germination and early seedling growth.

AB The response of plants to magnetic fields (MF) is not fully understood. This
work studies the effects of pulsed MF on the germination and growth of Allium cepa
roots. Onions were exposed to 25Hz, 1.5mT, 33h. Pulsed MF was generated by a
Helmholtz-type equipment that generated rectangular voltage pulses. The results
showed that fewer roots grew in the specimens exposed to pulsed MF (14 +/- 6 roots
on day 1 to 21 +/- 8 on day 4) than in the control groups (32 +/- 17 to 48 +/- 23)
(p<0.05 Friedman). Control specimens showed a root mean length of 7 +/- 4 mm (day
1) and 24 +/- 10 mm (day 4). The specimens treated with pulsed MF showed a length
of 4 +/- 2 mm (day 1), reaching 18 +/- 9 mm on day 4 (p<0.001 ANOVA). In
conclusion, the exposure of Allium cepa specimens to 25Hz, 1.5mT pulsed MF during
33h produces a decrease in the germination and growth of roots.

AB A greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effects of magnetic field,
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and phosphorus (P) concentration in the
nutrient solution (0, 5, 10, 20, or 40mg L-1) on the mobility and accumulation of P
in soil and plant tissues of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The experiment was
designed as a factorial combination and treatments were arranged in a completely
randomized design with four replicates. Magnetic field increased water-soluble P in
the soil and P concentration in plant shoot by 30.0% and 13.0%, respectively, in
comparison to the control. The application of magnetic field and inoculation of AMF
at 10mg P L-1 increased the P translocation efficiency by 23.3% and 17.8%,
respectively. Overall, our results demonstrated that the use of magnetic field and
AMF could be an effective tool for enhancing of uptake and movement efficiency of P
even at low concentrations.

AB Cultivation of onion and onion-like crops has become a challenge in the context
of climate change and innovative solutions are needed to support breeders as well
as farmers, starting from the crucial issues of seed quality. Seed priming is
routinely used to enhance germination performance and seedling resilience. Although
common for radish, tomato, carrot or head cabbage seeds, the technique has been
less popular for onion-like crops. This review provides a state-of-the-art picture
of the scientific and technological advances that have so far contributed to
enhance seed germination and vigour in onion-like crops. A brief description of the
different types of priming approaches is provided whereas attention is focused on
the following: (i) the impact of seed priming in terms of improved germination,
seedling development and resilience to environmental stresses; (ii) the concept of
seed quality hallmarks translated from model plants to the genus Allium; (iii) the
drawbacks that currently impair the fully exploitation of seed priming in this
specific sector of the agrifood chain.

AB The influence of frequent magnetic field stimulation (MFS) on plants is the
subject of intense research. The effects of MFS on plants vary depending on its
intensity, time of exposure or application form. The effects of low-frequency
magnetic field in two doses, 0.2 mT, 16Hz (MFS-1) and 0.2mT, 50Hz (MFS-2) on the
mitotic activity and selected physiological and biochemical parameters in narrow-
leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) were evaluated. Non-exposed plants were
used as control (C). It was noted that after the exposure of plants to MFS-1, the
biometric parameters, mitotic activity, BSA and GPOX activity remained at the
control level. However, a significant decrease in the assimilation pigment content
was observed. On the other hand, the exposure of plants to MFS-2 was manifested by
a decrease in the biometric parameters, mitotic activity and the assimilation
pigment content, but an increase in GPOX activity in roots was noted.

AB The toxic metal mercury (Hg) exhibits inhibitory effects on several plant
physiological processes. Multiple attempts have been tried in the past to lessen
the phytotoxic effects of Hg in plants. However, so far no information is available
on the possible beneficial effects of magnetopriming in soybean plants subjected to
Hg toxicity. In the present study, the soybean seeds were magnetoprimed by static
magnetic field (SMF) of 200 mT for 1 h to assess the influence of magnetopriming on
germination and early growth features of seedlings under Hg toxicity. Reduction in
germination percentage and growth parameters such as seedling length, fresh and dry
weight of seedlings and vigor indices of seedlings emerged from unprimed seeds
under different concentrations of mercuric chloride (0.0, 0.05, 0.1 mM HgCl2),
indicated the negative effects of Hg toxicity on seedling growth at all the
concentrations of HgCl2. However, magnetopriming has been found to be effective in
alleviating the Hg stress. Along with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide
(NO), the activities of total amylase, protease, and nitrate reductase (NR) were
elevated in seedlings emerged from SMF-primed seeds in non-stress as well as Hg
toxicity conditions. The proline and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were increased
with the increasing Hg concentrations in the seedlings emerged from unprimed seeds;
however, magnetopriming reduced their content. Antioxidant enzyme system revealed
higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate
peroxidase (APX), and guaiacol peroxidase (GuPOX) along with higher antioxidants
(total ascorbate, AsA and reduced glutathione, GSH content) after SMF priming in
comparison to unprimed seeds during germination at all the concentrations of HgCl2
used. It is conceivable that the positive effect of magnetopriming is mediated by
the reduced lipid peroxidation and enhancement of H2O2 and NO levels along with the
activation of antioxidant defense system to protect the soybean seedlings against
Hg toxicity during seed germination.

AB The influence of magnetic field stimulation (MFS) on plants is a subject of
intense research. The influence of MFS on plants varies depending on its intensity,
time of exposure, and form of application. Weak MFS has beneficial effects on
physiological and biochemical processes in plant tissues. Lupins (Lupinus spp.) are
economically and agriculturally important plants used mainly in livestock feeding
or in human consumption. The effects of a stationary magnetic field (130 mT) on the
mitotic activity and selected biochemical parameters of lupin (Lupinus
angustifolius L.) were evaluated. Nonexposed plants were used as the control. It
was noted that the stimulation of plants with a 130-mT magnetic field favored the
aboveground parts of the plants, which was manifested by an increase in the average
length and fresh weight of shoots and an increase in the photosynthetic pigment
content. However, guaiacol peroxidase activity decreased in shoots after their
exposure to 130-mT MFS. The development of roots was at the control level.
Moreover, an increase in the total protein content in both shoots and roots was
observed after the MFS.

AB Background: Food security is an important alarming issue across the globe and
seed is an important structure to maintain the production capacity of plants. With
the fast development of urbanization and globalization, the prevailing way to
secure food is to adopt new technologies that improve grain yield and germination
rate by maintaining the crop quality. The novel technology had been effectively
used in many food processing operations such as gelation, extraction, coagulation,
surface modification, emulsification, disinfection etc from earlier times. However,
it has been also successfully employed as an efficient technique for breaking
dormancy and improving the germination characteristics of seeds.
Scope and approach: In this review, we aimed to study the effects of well known
novel technologies such as high pressure processing, pulsed electric field,
ultrasound, ozone processing, ultraviolet, magnetic field, microwave radiation,
non-thermal plasma, electrolyzed oxidizing water, and plasma activated water on
germination and growth characteristics of different species of seeds. The reasons
for the constructive and destructive impact of these technologies on germination
rate had also been discussed.
Key findings and conclusion: As an outcome of this review, of the discussed
technologies all, have proven to show enhancement in germination and growth rate.
Due to the diversity and complexity of seeds along with the differences in features
of these emerging technologies, the quality of seed and the operating conditions
are the key elements to be focused to increase efficiency in germination yield.

AB The study illustrates the influence of high frequency pulsatile electromagnetic
fields and ultrasound pulsatile fields on Mentha x piperita L. seed germination and
the quality of its essential oil. The physiological role of the above mentioned
experimental factors was considered to be a catalyticall base point, improving
germination percent, SVI (seedling vigor index), GVI (germination velocity index).
All the biometric aspects of the germination process (seed area, seed perimeter,
seed development on x and y radius, radicele length, hypocotyl length) where
determined using open free software, consolidating the general idea that scientific
communities can improve and perfect open source projects. High frequency pulsatile
electromagnetic fields (91.75%) and ultrasound pulsatile fields (64.75%)
experimental variants gave higher germination percent compared to control (47.00%).
Following the main terpenes determination, the same experimental variants obtained
high accumulations of menthol, eugenol, thymol, eucalyptol, linalool and other
components. These aspects can be scientifically sustained by the seedling vigor
index marks obtained at high frequency pulsatile electromagnetic fields (1985.47)
and ultrasound pulsatile fields (1480.09), creating the general premises for better
development stages in the nursery sector. Raised accumulation of main therapeutical
terpenes in Mentha x piperita L. must be supervised in further studies, when
microscopically imagery of glandular trichomes and their density may lead to more
profound conclusions.

TI Magnetically Treated Water in <i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.: An
Alternative to Develop Organic Farming in Cuba
SO PLANTS-BASEL

DE common bean; magnetic field; photosynthesis; physiological parameters;

ID GROWTH; GERMINATION
AB Phaseolus vulgaris L. (common bean) significantly contributes to the human diet
due to its protein, vitamin and mineral contents, making it one of the major edible
plant species worldwide. Currently, the genetic resources conserved in germplasm
banks in Cuba have experienced a loss of viability, which makes their propagation
difficult. Magnetically treated water has been used to improve the response of
seeds and plants of different species. However, there is little experimental
evidence on the cultivation of the common bean irrigated with magnetically treated
water or its positive effects on seed germination recovery and its effects on
physiological, anatomical and morphological characteristics. This study aims to
evaluate the growth and development of common bean with magnetically treated water
as an alternative to rejuvenate the seeds for organic agriculture. A two-group
experimental design was used: a group of plants irrigated with water without a
magnetic field and a group of plants irrigated with water treated with a magnetic
field at induction in the range of 100 to 150 mT. There was an increase of 25% in
the percentage of germination; the stomatal anatomical structures behaved normally;
and the stem length, vigor index, leaf area and seed weight increased by 35, 100,
109 and 16%, respectively. The concentrations of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b
pigments and carbohydrates in the plants grown with magnetically treated water were
also stimulated in relation to control plants with increments of 13, 21 and 26%,
respectively. The technology employed in this study did not have negative effects
on the plant nor did it affect the presence of structures or the net content of the
assessed compounds. Its use in the cultivation of Phaseolus vulgaris L. might
represent a viable alternative for the improvement of the plant in organic farming
production.

AB In the context of climate change, food security and long-term human space
missions, it is important to understand which species produce seeds that can
tolerate extreme environmental conditions. Here we consider dry seed survival of
extreme conditions encountered in both natural and artificially controlled
environments. Considerable overlap exists between the two: for example, ultra-dry
and anoxic conditions can be artificially imposed during seed storage and also
occur naturally in the vacuum of space environments. Aside from ultra-drying and
anoxia, dry seeds of many species may experience extremely high temperatures due to
heat from wildfires or when exposed to solar heat in biomes such as deserts. In
addition, seeds can be irradiated by UV-A and UV-B at the surface of the Earth and
by the shorter wavelengths of UV-C in outer space. We focus on the effects of these
extreme environmental conditions on dry seed lifespan and germination. Although it
is clear that seeds from particular plant species and families can tolerate
exposures to ultra-drying, high temperatures (at least 32 families) or UV radiation
with minimal consequences for subsequent germination ability, further research is
needed to elucidate many of the mechanisms underlying extreme tolerance of these
environmental conditions found on Earth or in space.

AB The aim of this paper was to establish whether electromagnetic fields (EMF) with
a super low frequency (SLF) have a negative effect on onion seed quality. Three
sectors were separated on the device emitting electromagnetic fields: "E" - sector
emitting electromagnetic radiation with the predominance of the electrical
component "EM" - sector emitting electromagnetic radiation without domination of
its components and "M" - sector with a predominance of magnetic component. Seed
germination and vigour were evaluated at 20 degrees C in darkness. Mycological
analysis was performed using a agar plate method. Exposure of seeds to
electromagnetic fields did not affect G(max). Treated seeds were characterized with
significantly lower germination capacity and higher percentage of deformed abnormal
seedlings than untreated seeds. Electromagnetic radiation with the predominance of
electrical component (E), and electromagnetic radiation with the predominance of
magnetic component (M) also significantly decreased the germination energy. The
effect of electromagnetic fields on the speed of germination was ambiguous. Seeds
treated with the electromagnetic field with predominance of magnetic component (M),
and electromagnetic field without domination of its components (EM) germinated
significantly less uniformly than control. Generally, exposure of seeds to
electromagnetic fields did not influence the incidence of fungi.

AB It was shown that permanent (B = 50 mu T, horizontal plane, direction to the
north) and alternating magnetic fields (North-South direction) exerted influences
on seed germination as well as on cytological and biochemical features of seedlings
characteristic of investigated species (Lepidium apetalum, Artemisia vulgaris, A.
jacutica, and A. dracunculus) of wild plants growing in Central Yakutia. Under the
effect of permanent magnetic field (MF), germinating capacity of seeds decreased
(except for A. vulgaris), whereas alternating MF of different frequencies improved
their germinating capacity, except for L. apetalum and A. jacutica at frequencies
of 200 and 300 Hz, respectively. Under permanent MF, the rate of lipid peroxidation
in the tissues of the seedlings decreased, whereas the content of low molecular
weight antioxidants rose; when the plants were exposed to an alternating magnetic
field, the content of MDA and peroxidase activity increased, and the content of low
molecular weight antioxidants followed an ambiguous pattern.

seeds had higher leaf area index, shoot length, number of leaves, chlorophyll
content, biomass, 1000-seed mass, and seed yield as compared with untreated.
Radiation use efficiency and water productivity were significantly higher in plants
raised from magnetically treated seeds than untreated seeds. Crop raised from
magnetically treated seeds had 6.2% more seed yield, 7.1% more protein, and oil
content as compared with crops raised from untreated seeds. Hence, it may be
concluded that exposure of dry sunflower seeds to the static magnetic field of 200
mT for 2 h could be used for improving crop growth and yield under different
moisture stress conditions. (c) 2021 Bioelectromagnetics Society.

AB Recently, laser application in agriculture has gained much attention since plant
characteristics were improved significantly in response of pre-sowing seed
treatment. Pre-sowing laser seed treatment effects on germination, seedling growth
and mineral profile were studied in Moringa olifera. M. olifera healthy seeds were
exposed to 25, 50, 75 mJ low power continuous wave laser light and grown under
greenhouse conditions. The seedling growth and biochemical attributes were
evaluated from 10-day-old seedlings. The germination parameters (percentage, mean
germination time), vigor index, seedling growth (root length, seedling length,
shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight, root dry weight) enhanced
considerably. The laser energy levels used for seed irradiation showed variable
effects on germination, seedling growth and mineral profile. The mineral contents
were recorded to be higher in seedling raised from laser treated seeds, which were
higher in roots versus shoots and leaves. The effect of laser treatment on seedling
fat, nitrogen and protein content was insignificant and at higher energy level both
nitrogen and protein contents decreased versus control. Results revealed that M.
olifera germination, seedling growth and mineral contents were enhanced and optimum
laser energy level has more acceleratory effect since at three laser energy levels
the responses were significantly different. Overall the laser energy levels effect
on germination and seedling growth was found in following order; 75 mJ > 50 mJ > 25
mJ, where as in case of fat, protein and nitrogen contents the trend was as; 25 mJ
> 50 mJ and 75 mJ. However, this technique could possibly be used to improve the M.
olifera germination, seedling growth, and minerals contents where germination is
low due to unfavorable conditions.

AB Magnetic seed treatment is one of the physical pre-sowing seed treatments to
enhance the performance of crop plants. In our earlier experiment, we found
significant increase in germination and vigour characteristics of maize (Zea mays
L.) seeds subjected to magnetic fields. Among various combinations of magnetic
field (MF) strength and duration, best results were obtained with MF of 100 mT for
2 h and 200 mT for 1 h exposure. The quicker germination in magnetically-exposed
seeds might be due to greater activities of germination related enzymes, early
hydration of membranes as well as greater molecular mobility of bulk and hydration
water fractions. Thus, in the present study, changes in water uptake during
imbibition and its distribution and activities of germinating enzymes during
germination were investigated in maize seeds exposed to static magnetic fields of
100 and 200 mT for 2 and 1 h respectively by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy. The magnetically-exposed seed showed higher water uptake in phase II
and III than unexposed seed. The longitudinal relaxation time T(1) of seed water
showed significantly higher values and hence greater molecular mobility of cellular
water in magnetically-exposed seeds as compared to unexposed. Component analysis of
T(2) relaxation times revealed the early appearance of hydration water with least
mobility and higher values of relaxation times of cytoplasmic bulk water and
hydration water in magnetically-exposed over unexposed seeds. Activities of alpha-
amylase, dehydorgenase and protease during germination were higher in magnetically-
exposed seeds as compared to unexposed. The quicker germination in Magnetically-
exposed seeds might be due to greater activities of germination related enzymes,
early hydration of membranes as well as greater molecular mobility of bulk and
hydration water fractions.

AB The current study aired to investigate the effect of different treatments
applied to sessile oak seeds in order to improve the germination features,
development and growth of seedlings. The seeds were subjected to electric field,
electromagnetic field and y rays' treatments. For the electric field study three
distinct voltages (10V, 30V and 50V) and three values of exposure time (15 min., 35
min. and 60 min.) were considered. Displaying the seeds in an electric field for 60
minutes increased the germination rate with 58.89%. The highest value for the
seedling's height was obtained when seeds were exposed for 15 minutes at an
intensity of 30V. The interaction between the intensity and the timing showed that
treating seeds with 30V for 35 minutes improved significantly the seedlings
peculiarities. In regard to the electromagnetic field, the seeds were subjected to
a single value of electromagnetic field (B=0,4mT; i=0,680 A) and three values of
exposure tire: 10 min., 20 min. and 30 min. The sessile oak seeds subjected to the
electromagnetic field for 20 minutes induced the highest value of germination
percentage (90.00%) and germination index (1.81) and those seeds produced plantlets
with high diameter (2.69 mm) and with significant differences towards non-treated
plants. For y rays treatments a dosage of 2 Gy induced the highest value of
germination percentage (86.67%), of germination index (2.02); of germination energy
(7.7); and of germination speed (7.24). A dosage of 6 Gy decreased the values of
the same parameters. Our results showed that a dosage of 2 Gy improved also the
growth parameters such as plantlets diameter (2.65 mm) and height (11.25 cm). In
short, the physical treatments represent an ecological substitute approach towards
the chemical substances presently used to improve seeds germination. Using physical
treatments for seeds germination and growth of seedlings right be a harrless
alternative for environment.

AB The influence of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields on net
photosynthesis, transpiration, photosynthetic pigment concentration, and gene
expression of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit
(RBCS1), during in vitro establishment, in vitro multiplication and acclimatization
phases of coffee seedlings were investigated. Untreated coffee plants were
considered as control, whereas treated plants were exposed to a 60Hz sinusoidal
magnetic field of 2mT of magnetic induction during 3 min. This magnetic field was
generated by an electromagnet, connected to a wave generator. The results revealed
that magnetically treated plants showed a significant increase in net
photosynthesis (85.4% and 117.9%, in multiplication and acclimatization phases,
respectively), and in photosynthetic pigment concentration (66.6% for establishment
phase, 79.9% for multiplication phase, and 43.8% for acclimatization phase). They
also showed a differential RBCS1 gene expression (approximately twofold) and a
decrease of transpiration rates in regard to their control plants. In conclusion,
the findings suggest that the application of 60 Hz magnetic field to in vitro
coffee plants may improve the seedlings quality by modifying some photosynthetic
physiological and molecular processes, increasing their vigor, and ensuring better
plant development in later stages. (C) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB Basil (Ocimum sp.) is generally known as "king of herbs" due to its
pharmaceutical and culinary properties. Even though Ocimum sp. are considered to
have fast germination velocity index (GVI), short mean germination time (MGT) and
increased seedling vigor index (SVI) values, their experimental monitoring is
usually done with specialized software's that are expensive. Low cost scientific
solutions are keen on open source software germination protocols. For observing the
accuracy of open source, C.A.D. softwares were used for Ocimum sp. seeds which were
submitted to high frequency pulsatile electromagnetic fields (300 impulses/3 peak
penetrance - 293 W) and ultrasound pulsatile fields (1/2 pulses by 0.5 W/cm(2)).
All sequence images where taken using a positive/negative photo filter enhancing
the differences in seed development. At the end of the experiment, all images where
transformed into vector formats (dwg). On the dwg extension, selective free plug-
ins such as Face Centroid and Area Properties helped to collect data like seed
development on X/Y scale, area, perimeter, no. of germinated seeds, length of
seedling root, hypocotyl length. Mean germination time (MGT) was in agreement with
the accepted theory of seed germination that enounced a diametric position between
values of GVI and MGT, meaning that all the experimental variants with high values
of GVI recorded low values of MGT. All the experimental variants influenced by
physical stimulants recorded improved contents of therapeutical terpenes.

AB Magnetic fields are widely used as a physical energy source in industry and
environmental governance. Their application in agriculture has also been reported;
however, it remains unknown whether magnetic fields can be used to increase the
availability of phosphorus in wheat fields and whether they have an effect on
increasing phosphorus availability in the rhizosphere. In this study, we conducted
an incubation experiment for soil and a field control experiment for wheat
cultivation. In the wheat cultivation experiment, four magnetic field intensity
treatments of 20, 40, 60, and 80 mT were set with 0 mT as a control (CK). Under the
magnetic field intensity of 60 mT, the available phosphorus content increased by
7.06% at the booting stage, and acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase
activities in rhizosphere soil increased by 19.89% and 9.26%, respectively, under
40 mT and by 12.16% and 26.70%, respectively, under 60 mT magnetic field
intensities compared with CK. Moreover, compared with CK, the magnetic field mainly
affected lipids and lipid-like molecules, organic oxygen compounds,
phenylpropanoids, and polyketides in the rhizosphere metabolisms. The results of
correlation analysis show that the abundance of rhizosphere metabolites was
significantly correlated with the acid phosphatase activity, and the acid
phosphatase activity was significantly correlated with the available phosphorus
content. The results indicate that applying an appropriate magnetic field intensity
to soil altered the abundance of wheat rhizosphere metabolites. Furthermore, the
activity of phosphatase and the content of available phosphorus in the soil
increased, which resulted in increased available phosphorus uptake by wheat plants.
This study highlights that magnetic fields can be used as a means to increase
phosphorus availability in soil.

AB Static magnetic field (SMF) as a priming method (magnetopriming) is used to
invigorate plant growth and development culminating in improved productivity. In
vitro shoot buds of Curcuma longa were exposed to a static magnetic field of 200 mT
intensity for different periods, from 20 to 120 min. Various growth parameters such
as fresh weight, shoot length, leaf area as well as field performance of the plants
in terms of rhizome yield were assessed to study the effects of SMF. The results
showed that the SMF for shorter duration (40 min exposure time) stimulated shoot
development with maximum increase in the fresh weight and shoot length whereas
increase in exposure time led to a reduction in shoot length and biomass. Field
data on plants exposed for 40 min showed better biomass and maximum improvement in
rhizome yield than control plants. The results suggest that the 200 mT SMF has a
stimulatory effect on the growth of in vitro grown C. longa shoots as well as on
rhizome yield under field conditions.
Key message Static magnetic field of 200 mT for an exposure time of 40 min.
resulted in better growth and development of in vitro turmeric plants, and improved
rhizome yield under field conditions.

AB Five species of beans were chosen to observe the effects of intermittent periods
and doses of cell phone electromagnetic field radiation (EMR) on germination seeds.
Beans were grown under the same environment and the EMR was different. The
treatment included two intermittent periods (4 and 24 h) and three radiation
intensities (high, low, and check). The frequency of EMR was 1805-1850 MHz. The
mean power density was 0.4809 mW/cm(2) for high treatment and 1.455 mW/cm(2) for
low treatment The specific absorption rating (SAR) values were measured and
expressed as units of W/kg for the five beans. The effects of EMR on the
germination rates of seeds were inconsistent. Germination differed under EMIR
treatment for red bean, soybean, and Mologa bean but not mung and Hyacinth bean.
The 24 h intermittent exposure had a significant effect on the height and fresh
weight of mung beans. Results differed under high, low, and with check. The 4 h
intermittent exposure did not significantly affect the height or fresh weight.
Hyacinth and mologa beans showed similar results. Only 24 h intermittent exposure
with high treatment had a significant effect on height and fresh weight. Under the
same EMR and exposure times the received dose was the same. However, bean species
had different germination.

DE Development; exposure time; intensity; liliaceae; vigor
ID PRETREATMENT; PARAMETERS; STRESS
AB In vegetables of economic importance such as onion, one of the main limitations
in their production is that their seeds have a relatively short storage life, so
their viability decreases rapidly. Research has been carried out on onions to
improve seed germination and to extend its use for sowing. The magnetic field is
considered a simple, inexpensive, and non-invasive physical method to stimulate the
germination process, compared to traditional chemical methods. In this sense the
objective of this research were to evaluate the effects of static magnetic fields
on Yellow Granex PRR hybrid onion (Allium cepa L.) seed germination, and early
growth in the laboratory conditions. Seeds were exposed to 10 and 21mT,
(mT=militesla), static magnetic fields induced by magnets for 0.5, 3, 6, 12 and
24h; each treatment had four repetitions. The results showed that the low intensity
stationary magnetic fields (10 and 21mT) did not cause significant differences in
germination, dry weight, or fresh weight, but for the seedling length. It is
necessary to increase the intensity of the magnetic fields and the exposure time to
achieve important physiological changes that positively affect the germination and
growth of onion seeds, and thus contribute to the improvement of their yield and
productivity. The use of physical methods such as magnetism can stimulate different
physiological processes in plants and thus contribute to the improvement of
characteristics of agronomic interest.

AB Research interest into the exposure of plants to magnetic fields (MF), including
electromagnetic fields (EMF), has increased recently but results often vary
depending on factors such as plant species and treatment dose. In this study, we
exposed young (one year) and old (four years) field bean (Vicia faba L. (partim))
seeds to EMF (50 Hz, 7 mT) and observed seed germination and seedling growth under
different conditions (growth media and light). The results indicated a stimulation
by EMF of germination and early root growth of Petri dish-sown old seeds in
continuous darkness and inhibition of germination of the pot-sown young seeds under
long-day conditions. Root growth of two-week-old seedlings from pot-sown young
seeds was stimulated by EMF treatment while their stem growth was inhibited. Some
selected biochemical traits were examined, showing specific changes in membrane
integrity, amylase activity, H2O2 levels, photosynthetic pigments, and content of
the main groups of phytohormones, depending on seed age. The results indicate that
priming of field bean seeds with EMF (50 Hz, 7 mT) could be a eustress factor that
influences germination, early growth, and cellular activities and could positively
influence the ability of field bean plants to grow and develop in more stressful
conditions at later stages.

AB Magnetic field (MF) treatment improves the germination of seeds and enhances the

(0-control, 75, 150, and 300 mT) and exposure time periods (0-control, 24, 48, and
72 h) on sprouting of dormant seed potato tubers, vegetative growth (emergence time
and plant height), tuber formation (tuber number per plant and mean tuber weight),
and total chlorophyll content in 2 potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars ('Necta'
and 'Banba') were investigated in all parameters examined in both cultivars, the
worst results were recorded in control treatment where no MF strength was used.
Emergence times of sprouts were reduced significantly when seed potato tubers were
exposed to 150 mT MF strength for 72 h in both cultivars. The fastest emergence
times were recorded as 14.0 days in cv. 'Nectar' and 17.0 days in cv. 'Banba' when
seed tubers were exposed to 150 mT MF strength for 72 h. In control treatment,
emergence time of sprouts was noted as 31.8 days in cv. 'Nectar' and 39.5 days in
cv. 'Banba'. The best results in other parameters (plant height, total chlorophyll
content, tuber number per plant and mean tuber weight) were again obtained from
seed tubers treated with 150 mT MF strength for 72 h whereas the worst results were
noted in control treatment in both cultivars. Thus, MF pre-treatment can compensate
for the negative effects of dormancy in seed potato tubers.

AB In the context of seed technology, the use of physical methods for increasing
plant production offers advantages over conventional treatments based on chemical
substances. The effects of physical invigoration treatments in seeds can be now
addressed at multiple levels, ranging from morpho-structural aspects to changes in
gene expression and protein or metabolite accumulation. Among the physical methods
available, "magneto-priming" and irradiation with microwaves (MWs) or ionizing
radiations (IRs) are the most promising pre-sowing seed treatments. "Magneto-
priming" is based on the application of magnetic fields and described as an eco-
friendly, cheap, non-invasive technique with proved beneficial effects on seed
germination, vigor and crop yield. IRs, as gamma-rays and X-rays, have been widely
regarded as a powerful tool in agricultural sciences and food technology. Gamma -
rays delivered at low dose have showed to enhance germination percentage and
seedling establishment, acting as an actual 'priming' treatment. Different
biological effects have been observed in seeds subjected to MWs and X-rays but
knowledge about their impact as seed invigoration agent or stimulatory effects on
germination need to be further extended. Ultraviolet (UV) radiations, namely UV-A
and UV-C have shown to stimulate positive impacts on seed health, germination, and
seedling vigor. For all mentioned physical treatments, extensive fundamental and
applied research is still needed to define the optimal dose, exposition time,
genotype- and environment-dependent irradiation conditions. Electron paramagnetic
resonance has an enormous potential in seed technology not fully explored to
monitor seed invigoration treatments and/or identifying the best suitable
irradiation dose or time-point to stop the treatment. The present manuscript
describes the use of physical methods for seed invigoration, while providing a
critical discussion on the constraints and advantages. The future perspectives
related to the use of these approaches to address the need of seed technologists,
producers and trade markers will be also highlighted.

AB 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 (ME) conditions on plants by
considering plant responses to ME 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.

AB Salt stress is a serious and current global problem for crops. Due to climate
change, the soil today has higher salinity levels than in past decades. Identifying
temperature, light, and salinity that allow plants to germinate and grow is an
ambitious challenge for the future. Hibiscus sabdariffa (H. sabdariffa) is a plant
that undergoes abiotic stress during all stages of growth. The aim of this work was
to identify the best conditions in terms of light, temperature, and salinity during
the germination and growth phases of H. sabdariffa. To improve the germination of
H. sabdariffa seed, the effects of abiotic stress were investigated in three
experiments. In the first experiment, the factors included light at two levels
(light and dark cycles) and temperature at eight levels (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35,
and 40 degrees C). In the second experiment, the effect of salinity was examined at
seven levels (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 mM NaCl). In the third experiment,
the factors consisted of seed halopriming at two levels (0 and 180 mM NaCl for 24
h) and salinity at seven levels (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 mM NaCl). The
highest germination rate (GR), seedling dry weight, and uniformity of germination
were obtained at 30 degrees C in dark conditions, as reported by one-way Anova
analysis. Germination was restricted by temperatures lower and higher than 5 and 30
degrees C, respectively. By increasing the salinity, all the germination
characteristics were decreased, but these effects were less pronounced by
halopriming. The most suitable planting date was in the spring, when the
temperature was in the range of 25-35 degrees C. During the germination stage,
Hibiscus tea is sensitive to low salinity soils. Halopriming can be performed for
enhancing GR and emergence percentage.

AB The objective of this study was to determine the influence of low-temperature
plasma (LTP) on seed surface modification, water uptake by seeds, seed germination
and vigor of seedlings, as well as changes in the content of endogenous hormones in
pea, (Pisum sativum L. var. Prophet). The study's authors used diffuse coplanar
surface barrier discharge as the source of LTP in various duration times of
treatment (from 60 to 600 s). The SEM analysis showed that LTP induced significant
changes on the seeds' surface, which was related to water permeability into the
seeds. LTP increased the germination percentage of pea seeds as well as the growth
parameters (root and shoot length, dry weight), and the vigor of seedlings and the
effects of LTP also depended on exposure time. The LTP-pretreatment produced
changes in endogenous hormones (auxins and cytokinins and their catabolites and
conjugates), which correlated with increased growth of the pea seedlings. The
results suggested an interaction among the modification of seed structure
demonstrated by LTP in the induction of faster germination and hormonal activities
related to plant signaling and development during the early growth of pea
seedlings.

AB Electromagnetic field (EMF) and its effect on crop plant growth and their
quality parameters is increasingly gaining the interest of researchers in agronomic
science. However, the exact mechanism of EMF action in plant cells is still
unclear. Among the completely unexplored parameters is the relationship between the
EMF effects and the seed size. Thus, the EMF effect was analyzed in winter wheat
seeds categorized into two size groups, small and big. The study focused on the
germination kinetics, early growth parameters, and phytohormone concentrations
(indole-3-acetic acid, IAA and abscisic acid, ABA) in seeds, roots, and coleoptiles
after exposure to EMFs (50 Hz, 7 mT) and their controls. EMF exposure resulted in
faster germination and the more rapid early growth of organs, especially in big
seeds in dark conditions. The faster germination and seedling growth of small seeds
in control conditions, and of big seeds after EMF exposure, corresponds largely to
the decline in IAA and ABA levels. This study confirms that presowing treatment
with an EMF is a promising tool for sustainable seed crop improvement, but detailed
studies on the EMF mechanism of action, including phytohormones, are necessary to
better control future crop yield, especially considering the factor of seed size.

AB In the present study, experiments were performed to investigate the role of
nitric oxide (NO) in magnetopriming-induced seed germination and early growth
characteristics of soybean (Glycine max) seedlings under salt stress. The NO donor
(sodium nitroprusside, SNP), NO scavenger (2-[4-carboxyphenyl]-4,4,5,5-
tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, CPTIO), inhibitors of nitrate reductase
(sodium tungstate, ST) or NO synthase (N-nitro-L-Arg-methyl ester, LNAME) and NADPH
oxidase inhibitor (diphenylene iodonium, DPI) have been used to measure the role of
NO in the alleviation of salinity stress by static magnetic field (SMF of 200 mT, 1
h). Salt stress (50 mM NaCl) significantly reduced germination and early growth of
seedlings emerged from non-primed seeds. Pre-treatment of seeds with SMF positively
stimulated the germination and consequently promoted the seedling growth. ST,
LNAME, CPTIO and DPI significantly decreased the growth of seedling, activities of
alpha-amylase, protease and nitrate reductase (NR), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2),
superoxide (O-2(center dot-)) and NO content in roots of seedlings emerged from
non-primed and SMF-primed seeds. However, the extent of reduction was higher with
ST in seedlings of SMF-primed seeds under both conditions, whereas SNP promoted all
the studied parameters. Moreover, the generation of NO was also confirmed
microscopically using a membrane permanent fluorochrome (4-5-diaminofluorescein
diacetate [DAF-2 DA]). Further, analysis showed that SMF enhanced the NR activity
and triggered the NO production and NR was maximally decreased by ST as compared to
LNAME, CPTIO and DPI. Thus, in addition to ROS, NO might be one of the important
signaling molecules in magnetopriming-induced salt tolerance in soybean and NR may
be responsible for SMF-triggered NO generation in roots of soybean.

AB In order to study the effect of physical priming of seed on traits and yield of
corn under water deficit conditions, a two years experiment was conducted during
2014-2015 as a split plot with three replications in Iran. The main factor includes
two levels of irrigation (70 and 110 mm evaporation from pan class A as control and
water deficit, respectively) after 8-9 leaves stage of corn and sub-factor includes
corn seed treatment with gamma and beta rays, laser wave, magnetic field and
ultrasonic waves, all in time intervals of 5 and 10 min. along with a non-primed
control. Results indicated that maize seed priming under magnetic field of 5 and 10
min. and gamma and laser rays for 5 min. in normal irrigation regime were the best
treatments with 20%, 18%, 16% and 13% increase value, respectively, while seed
priming with gamma and laser rays for 10 min. under water deficit condition had the
lowest grain yield. To increase corn grain yield in both normal and water deficit
conditions, seed priming with the magnetic field in both time intervals, gamma and
laser rays only in a short time is recommended.

AB The effect of an external static magnetic field on the hydration behavior of
nanoscopic paraffin-like plates has been investigated using molecular dynamics
simulation in an isothermal-isobaric ensemble. The "normal" and "hard-wall-like"
hydrophobic potentials were both utilized to represent the water-solute
interaction. Results demonstrate that water at ambient temperature was expelled
from the confined region between two "normal" plates upon applying relatively low
magnetic field, and attracted back under magnetic field beyond 0.7 T. The
transition of magnetodesorption to magnetoadsorption is firstly achieved
theoretically, which is in good agreement with experimental results reported by
Ozeki et al. In contrast, water confined in the "hard-wall-like" plates is more
sensitive to magnetic treatment. A liquid-to-vapor-like phase transition has been
observed at the center of confined region at 0.7 T, similar to the behavior of
confined water under the influence of an electric field. This indicates that
aggregation of hydrophobic solutes can be induced by applying a niagnetic field and
could shed light on the mechanism of magnetic dewetting of hydrophobic surfaces.

AB In a field experiment with sugar beet in 2015, a magnetic field was used as a
means of physical improvement of germination, growth and development of plants. The
multifactorial experiment studied the influence of the variety (Primadonna
Tadeusz), magnetic stimulation of 40 mT and control (without stimulation) and two
variants of mineral fertilization (optimal based on the content of nutrients, and
control without fertilization) on the results of selected plant parameters. During
the growing season plant growth and development were monitored and measurements
were made. The root and leaf yield, content of selected molasses compounds and
sugar were determined. Observations carried out during the experiment showed a
statistically significant effect of pre-sowing seeds stimulation with magnetic
field and fertilization on the growth and development of plants and sugar content
in the sugar beet roots. The most favorable values were obtained for the pre-sowing
variant with magnetic field stimulation of 40 mT and optimal fertilization
developed on the basis of nutrient content.

AB In this study, we tested the influence of two experimental factors on the
composition of oat grainAvena sativaunder the conditions of a three-year field
study. The first factor (factor A) consisted of anAscophyllum nodosumapplication,
an organism classified in the Chromista kingdom, class Phaeophyceae, order Fucales;
the second factor was the pre-sowing stimulation of seeds with a low-frequency
magnetic field with known parameters. The basic organic components and mineral
composition of the grain were tested. It was determined, among other things, that
fertilization with algae leads to reduced ash content in oat grain, increased
content of sodium, reduced calcium and iron content, and increased content of
starch components (amyloses and amylopectins). The application of pre-sowing seed
stimulation resulted in increased copper content in the progeny. No significant
interactions could be observed between the factors in forming the chemical
composition of oat grain.

AB This study aimed to improve gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content and sensory
characteristics of brown rice (BR) cake by static magnetic field (SMF)-assisted
germination. BR was pre-treated by SMF (10 mT, 60 min, 25 degrees C), germinated
for 36 h, and then germinated BR (GBR) was used to prepare rice cake. The optimal
formula was: 60 % GBR, 40 % white rice, 1 % yeast, 20 % sugar, and 55 % water. SMF
significantly increased the GABA content by stimulating glutamate decarboxylase,
with the values increasing from 28.17 to 32.43 mg/100 g and from 2.50 to 6.27
mg/100 g in GBR (36 h) and GBR cake, respectively. SMF also altered the swelling
power and water solubility of GBR flour by promoting the hydrolysis of starch,
protein, and fiber, thus improving the texture, flavor, and storage stability of
GBR cake. Overall, SMF could be a prospective technique for improving the
nutritional and sensory qualities of whole-grain food.

AB Global climatic fluctuations and the increasing population have been responsible
for the decline in the crop productivity. The chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and
suitable genetic resources are commonly used for improving the crop yield. Magnetic
field (MF) therapy for plants and animals has been found to be an effective and
emerging tool to control diseases and increase tolerance against the adverse
environment. Very limited studies have been attempted to determine the role of MF
on plant tolerance against various stress conditions. This review aims to highlight
the mitigating effect of MF on plants against abiotic and biotic stresses. MF
interacts with seeds and plants and accelerates metabolism, which leads to an
improved germination. The primary and secondary metabolites, enzyme activities,
uptake of nutrient and water are reprogrammed to stimulate the plant growth and
yield under favorable conditions. During adverse conditions of abiotic stress such
as drought, salt, heavy metal contamination in soil, MF mitigates the stress
effects by increasing antioxidants and reducing oxidative stress in plants. The
stunted plant growth under different light and temperature conditions can be
overcome by the exposure to MF. An MF treatment lowers the disease index of plants
due to the modulation of calcium signaling, and proline and polyamines pathways.
This review explores the basic and recent information about the impact of MF on
plant survival against the adverse environment and emphasizes that thorough
research is required to elucidate the mechanism of its interaction to protect the
plants from biotic and abiotic stresses.

AB The aim of the study was to determine the impact of red light (RL) and effective
microorganisms (EMs) on the wheat yield of grain and straw, as well as the quality
(protein, carbohydrates, gluten, index of sedimentation (SDS index), germination
capacity). Moreover, the experiments measured the granulometric composition and pH
of soil, as well as its content of microelements and major nutrients, including
heavy metals. The field experiment was conducted in 2017, 2018, and 2019 at the
experimental station (Felin) of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin (Poland).
The best results in terms of overall yield, protein content, and SDS index were
obtained after the red light treatment (RL). The three-year application of
effective microorganisms (EMs) in the soil had a positive impact, relative to the
control, on the grain yield, straw yield, starch, SDS index, and germination
capacity. A slight decrease was observed in terms of the protein content. After the
application of effective microorganisms (EMs) in soil, changes were observed in the
soil's granulometric composition, pH, humus, and microelements.

AB The effect of the extract obtained by Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) from
green macroalga Cladophora glomerata on the germination and early growth of three
narrow-leaved lupin varieties (cv. Homer, Jowisz, and Tytan) was examined. The
seeds of these varieties came from five growing seasons (2015-2019) and this was
their successive propagation stage. In total, 45 groups were tested. Narrow-leaved
lupin like other legumes have a beneficial effect on the physical properties and
fertility of the soil. Its high nutritive value makes it suitable for the
production of valuable fodder. The algal extract, which was screened for the
content of active compounds responsible for their biostimulant effect was applied
in two concentrations: 10 and 20%. The germination percentage, root, hypocotyl,
epicotyl length and chlorophyll content in cotyledons were evaluated at the end of
the experiment. The 20% extract stimulated the growth of seedlings of all lupin
cultivars better than the 10% application. The Jowisz variety deserves special
attention, as it has the longest root system of seedlings.

AB Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) is a medicinal plant which has potential
benefit in diabetes and other diseases. After being treated with electric and
magnetic fields, there is an increase in the yield of bitter gourd. The seeds of
bitter gourd were exposed to 300, 500, 700 and 1000 V/cm electric field for 20 min.
The results showed that electric field stimulates germination of bitter gourd seeds
positively at low levels and has a resonating effect at 500 V/cm. At higher
electric fields, the germination was decreased sharply. Seeds of bitter gourd were
also exposed in batches to static magnetic fields of 0.07, 0.12, 0.17 and 0.21 T
for 20 min. The seeds respond differently when exposed to a magnetic field, showing
a continuous positive stimulation under all applied fields. Bitter gourd supports
the magnetic time model based on the following equation: B = 174.02 g(r)-1.815. (C)

AB Magnetized water is widely used in agricultural irrigation as a new type of
biomagnetic technology in China. In order to understand the biological effects of
different strength magnetized brackish water, seed germination and potted
experiments were carried out to study its effects of magnetized brackish water with
different magnetic intensities (0, 100 mT, 300 mT, 500 mT) on seed germination and
seedling growth. The germination vigor indexes of cotton cultivated with magnetized
brackish water significantly increased, and the germination potential and vigor
index increased by 39.4-60.6% and 129.1-246.3%, respectively. The emergence rate of
cotton under magnetized brackish water irrigation was faster and higher, with an
increase range of 7.5-41.9%. The net photosynthetic rate (P-n) and instantaneous
water use efficiency (iWUE) of cotton under magnetized brackish water irrigation
increased significantly, whereas the stomatal limit value (L-s) decreased. The
total biomasses of cotton under magnetized brackish water irrigation were
significantly increased, but the stem weight ratio and leaf weight ratio had no
significant changes. Hence, magnetized brackish water can promote the utilization
of water and light, and cotton irrigated with 300 mT magnetic field intensity is
most conducive to the growth of cotton seedlings.

AB This paper concentrates on the effect of the AC and DC magnetic fields on plant
growth. The effect of AC magnetic field with intensities of 2.25, 1.66 and 1.49 mT
and DC magnetic field with intensities of 3.6, 2.41 and 2.05 mT in exposure
durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 min on two groups of dry and wet Pisum sativum
seedlings was studied. In each experiment 10 seeds were used; the experiments were
repeated three times for each group and there was a sham exposed group for
comparison purposes. The light cycle was 12 h light/12 h darkness and the
temperature was 25 +/- 1 degrees C. The index of growth is considered to be the
root and stem elongation on the sixth day. It was observed that AC magnetic field
has a positive effect on the growth in all durations and intensities. Moreover, it
is highlighted that during the experiments, the mean growth of dry seedlings
significantly increased by a factor of 11 in AC magnetic field with the lowest
intensity of 1.49 mT (p < 0.05). It was also shown that AC magnetic fields had a
more positive effect on the growth of plants in comparison to DC magnetic fields.

AB The effects of extremely low frequency magnetic field on assimilatory pigments
and nucleic acids in the seedlings of two agricultural species (Zea mays and
Curcubita pepo) were studied in controlled environmental conditions. During the
first 10 days of growth, the plantlets were exposed to 50Hz sinusoidal magnetic
field of 10mT intensity generated by a Helmholtz coils system for 1, 2 and 4 hours
daily. Plantlets without magnetic treatment were considered as controls.
Assimilatory pigments and average nucleic acid level were assayed by
spectrophotometric methods in both exposed plants species and control ones. The
results showed that the level of chlorophyll a was found 3-fold increased in Z.mays
seedlings, and 2-fold increased in C. pepo seedlings for short exposure periods
compared to the controls. The ratio chlorophyll a/chlorophyll b was increased with
about 30% in both plant species while for the exposed samples the nucleic acids
level was found diminished as 3 times. The chronic exposure of seedlings would
appear to influence differently the assimilatory pigments and nucleic acids during
early ontogenetic stages so that an increase in both parameters resulted in major
average of Z.mays seedlings length, while it did not affect C.pepo seedlings.

AB The present study aimed to investigate the effects of magnetic field and
rhizobial inoculant on the Alfalfa's growth parameters (leaves, nodules number,
shoot and root lengths) and nitrogen fixation process. Inoculated and non-
inoculated seed with Sinorhizobium meliloti were subjected to 0.75mT and 1.5mT
intensities of magnetic field. Plants were analyzed after 60 days growing. Findings
showed 1.5mT magnetic intensity reduced growth parameters, nitrate reductase (NR),
nitrite reductase (NIR) and ammonium content, while nitrate and nitrite content
increased in comparison with the control group. Application of rhizobial inoculant
with 1.5mT intensity increased growth parameters, NR, NIR activity, nitrite, and
ammonium content, while it reduced nitrate accumulation in comparison with the
single application which was received just 1.5mT intensity. A separate application
of 0.75mT intensity increased growth parameters, but had no effect on NR, NIR
activity, ammonium, nitrate and nitrite contents, while using rhizobial inoculant
individually and combined with 0.75mT intensity increased growth parameters, NR,
NIR activity, and ammonium content. Also, it decreased nitrate and nitrite contents
as compared to the control. As a result, it could be concluded that rhizobial
inoculant application, alone or in combination with a suitable magnetic intensity
(0.75mT), could be used as a biofertilizer for vegetable production in sustainable
and ecological agricultural systems.

AB Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is always damaged by endogenous and exogenous
factors. Magnetic field (MF) is one of these exogenous factors. When repair
mechanisms are not sufficient, mainly because of imbalance in damage or mistakes in
repair mechanisms, methylation of DNA results in polymorphism-related
abnormalities. In this study, low intensity static magnetic field-induced DNA
damage and methylation in wheat calli were investigated by using Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA and Coupled Restriction Enzyme Digestion-Random Amplification
techniques. Calli were derived from mature embryos of wheat. Both 7- and 14-day-old
wheat calli were exposed to 7mT (millitesla) static MF for 24, 48, 72, 96, or 120h
of incubation period. The highest change in polymorphism rate was obtained in calli
exposed to 7mT MF for 120h in both 7- and 14-day-old calli. Increase in MF duration
caused DNA hypermethylation in both 7- and 14-day-old calli. Polymorphism and DNA
methylation ratio were higher in 7-day-old calli. The highest methylation level
with a value of 25.1% was found in 7-day-old calli exposed to MF for 120h. Results
suggested that low intensity static magnetic field may trigger genomic instability
and DNA methylation. Bioelectromagnetics. 37:504-511, 2016. (c) 2016 Wiley

AB The pulsed magnetic field (PMF) is a non-thermal method for inactivating
microorganisms at lower temperatures and preserving the food sensory and
nutritional qualities. In the present study, inactivation performances of Bacillus
subtilis with the various pulsed magnetic field (PMF) intensities and pulses were
well investigated. Results showed that the B. subtilis survival rate generally
decreased with the increasing intensity (>1.5T) and pulse numbers (>15) and a
minimum survival rate of 33.87% was obtained at an intensity of 3.3 T and pulse
number of 30. However, lower intensity (<= 1.5T) and PMF pulse numbers (<= 15)
enhanced the B.subtilis growth. By comparing the determination coefficients (r(2)),
bias factors (Bf), accuracy factors (Af) and root mean square errors (RMSE), the
Weibull distribution model with the highest r(2) and the lowest RMSE was selected
as the optimal kinetic model to describe the PMF inactivation process. Scanning
Electron Microscope (SEM) observations indicated that PMF inactivated the B.
subtilis cells by deformating the cell surface and damaging the cellular membrane.
These findings for the first time present the kinetic model and the cell death
mechanism during the PMF inactivation process, and will provide a useful reference
for further PMF sterilization application.

AB Salinity is an abiotic stress that reduces the seed germination and productivity
of wheat. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of irrigation with
magnetically treated seawater on the germination, growth, certain physiological and
anatomical parameters, and production attributes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
cv. Sakha 93 plants. Experiments were conducted in the Experimental Farm of the
Faculty of Agriculture, Menoufia University, Egypt, during two consecutive winter
seasons. Pot experiments involved ten treatments with non-magnetized and magnetized
water with various degrees of salinity. Plant samples were taken 95 days after
sowing. Irrigation with magnetically treated seawater was found to have beneficial
effects on plant growth, water relations, biochemical characteristics, and yield
components compared with untreated plants. The germination of wheat seeds increased
13% when treated with magnetic seawater. On the yield scale, the spike length was
increased by 40% in season one, and 82% in season two when compared to the control,
while the weight of 100 grains increased by 148% and 171%, in each season,
respectively, when treated with magnetic water. The anatomical leaf and stem
parameters of the plants were markedly improved by watering with magnetically
treated seawater at 10 dS m(-1) compared to the control. However, the leaf water
deficit, transpiration rate, and abscisic acid content in the plant shoots
decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The use of magnetically treated seawater of up
to 7.5 dS m(-1), instead of tap water, is recommended due to benefits to
germination and seedling parameters, growth, yield, and physiological, chemical,
and anatomical characteristics. In conclusion, magnetic treatment of seawater
improved germination performance, growth, and yield of wheat under saline
conditions.

AB This paper introduces a novel platform designed to be used in a strong static
magnetic field (in a superconducting magnet). The platform is a sample holder that
rotates in the strong magnetic field. Any samples placed in the platform will
rotate due to the rotation of the sample holder. With this platform, a number of
experiments such as material processing, culture of biological systems, chemical
reactions, or other processes can be carried out. In this report, we present some
preliminary experiments (protein crystallization, cell culture, and seed
germination) conducted using this platform. The experimental results showed that
the platform can affect the processes, indicating that it provides a novel
environment that has not been investigated before and that the effects of such an
environment on many different physical, chemical, or biological processes can be
potentially useful for applications in many fields. Published by AIP Publishing.

AB Seed priming is a physiological seed enhancement method for overcoming poor and
erratic seed germination in many crop and flowering plants. Magnetopriming is a
pre-sowing seed treatment with magnetic field that appears as a promising method to
improve seed performances. This paper presents a cost-efficient design and
optimization of an exposure system for magnetopriming treatments. The proposed
static magnetic field applicator is modelled and designed with the aid of
commercial software. The prototype is realized and tested based on the best set of
geometry parameters for optimum performance, in terms of strength and high
homogeneity of the magnetic flux density in the Region of Interest. Both analytical
and measurement results are found to be in good agreement with the simulated
results. The system is low cost, environmentally friendly and easy to operate. It
allows seed treatments at different strengths with high homogeneity within the
samples. In this way, the treatments can be carried out following good practice
requirements strongly recommended for a high quality bioelectromagnetic research to
assure reliability and reproducibility of the experiments.

AB Magnetic field treatments have been utilized to promote germination and growth
of a variety of species of plants; however the mechanism of concern has not been
fully elucidated. In this research, wheat seedlings were treated with 500 mT and
1500 mT static magnetic field (SMF) for 10 and 20 min, respectively. Analyzing
Fourier transform infrared spectra collected from leaves of seedlings showed that
SMF treatments decreased the contents of lipids and proteins, shifted bands to
higher wavenumbers in 3000-2800 cm(-1) regions, and increased the ratio of CH2/CH3
which likely indicates a structural variation of lipids. For bands assigned to
different second structures of proteins, slight bands shifting and changing the
ratio of different second structures of proteins were observed due to SMF
treatments. To summarize, the results revealed that lipids rather than proteins
were sensitive to SMF treatments. The results provided insight into the SMF induced
conformational changes of lipids and proteins in wheat leaves, which will help
elucidate the biological mechanisms of SMF on plant growth and development.

AB Due to the discriminate use of plant chemicals and their resultant negative
impact on the environment, researchers are interested in monitoring plant behavior
as modified by various nonchemical influences such as magnetic fields. A pot
experiment was designed to assess the growth potential of Albizia procera Roxb.
(Sufed Sirin) and Leucaena leucocephala Lam. (Ipil Ipil) seedlings, established
from seeds exposed to a magnetic field (MF) of 75 millitesla for 3 different time
intervals, 5 min, 10 min, and 15 min respectively. After the seeds were exposed to
a MF of 75 mT for 15 min, A. procera plants showed 49% more germination than in the
control (41%), whereas L. leucocephala plants gained 37% more germination in the
same treatment. A. procera had maximum plant height (13.1 cm) when seeds were
exposed to a MF of 75 mT for 15 min, while the height gained by the control was
only 7.1 cm. Similarly, L. leucocephala gained maximum plant height (17.8 cm) when
seeds were treated with MF for 15 min, i.e. 137% greater than the height gained
from nontreated seeds (7.5 cm). Seed exposure to MFs also resulted in higher collar
diameter in both plants. In high-MF-treated A. procera (18.6 cm) seedlings, root
length was 3 times longer than in the control (6.5 cm); MF-treated L. leucocephala
seedlings gained maximum (63% longer) root length (18.9 cm), as well. A. procera
had its maximum root-to-shoot ratio (R/S) (1.9) in the seedlings treated with low
MF (5 min), whereas L. leucocephala had its maximum R/S (1.6) in nontreated seeds.
Seeds exposed to MF for 5 min resulted in minimum R/S (0.9). The results clearly
suggested that by increasing the time intervals for seed exposure to the fixed MF
of 75 mT, the sowed seeds of both species showed higher growth rate.

ID GERMINATION
AB The effects of magnetic treatments on the initial growth stages of pea (Pisum
sativum L) seeds have been studied. Seeds were exposed to 125 mT or 250 mT
stationary magnetic field generated by magnets under laboratory conditions for 1,
10 and 20 min, 1 and 24 h and continuous exposure. In a first experiment, seeds
were glued to filter paper, rolled, placed in a vessel containing distilled water
and subjected to a magnetic treatment; the length and weight of plants were
measured at 3, 7 and 10 days after imbibition. In a second experiment, seeds were
sown in pots with organic growing medium and subjected to the same magnetic
treatments as the first group of experiments; the length and weight of pea
seedlings were assessed at 7 and 14 days after sowing. In both experiments, plants
from seeds given magnetic field treatment were longer and heavier than the
corresponding controls at each time of evaluation. The major increases occurred
when seeds were continuously exposed to the magnetic field. In conclusion the data
suggest 125 and 250mT stationary magnetic fields have a stimulating effect on the
first stages of growth of pea plants.

AB The effects of magnetic waves as natural environmental factors on the Earths are
not well known on plant growth and development. The present study was carried out
to evaluate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) treatment (4 and 6 mT for 30
and 120 min per day) for 8 days on the biomass production, proline contents and
total soluble sugar, phenolic compounds, accumulation of H2O2 and MDA along with
activity of antioxidant enzymes in lemon balm seedlings. Our results showed that
SMF treatments, especially 6 mT and 120 min duration, increased the plant biomass,
proline contents, phenolic compounds, H2O2 and MDA accumulation, and reduced the
contents of total soluble sugars. The SMF application also increased the activity
of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and
glutathione reductase (OR) enzymes compared to untreated seedlings. Our results
suggest that SMF treatments induces the antioxidant defense system in the lemon
balm seedlings and, by changing the plant metabolism, improves the early vigor of
seedlings.

AB The aim of the research was to test the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field
(PEMF) on soybean seed germination and yield depending on specific field
conditions, years of study, exposure duration and frequency. Field trial was
conducted on an experimental field of Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in
Novi Sad, Serbia in 2010-2013. Seeds of the soybean (Glycine hispida (Moench))
medium-early cultivar. Valjevka 'were exposed to the PEMF therapy using the impulse
generator and strip. Low-frequency (16, 24, 30 and 72 Hz) PEMF was used in the
duration of 0, 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Research results indicate that this method
can increase seed germination up to 8.00% and yield by 960.5 kg, or 21% in field
conditions, which is a significant increase and a solid basis to introduce this
practice, primarily in organic production with a very limited use of seed treatment
preparations. However, the practice can have an inhibitory effect under an
unfavourable combination of exposure duration and frequency. The obtained data were
processed using the analysis of variance of three-factorial trials considering all
years of study. Due to different meteorological conditions in the study years,
analysis of variance was conducted for each year of study and correlations between
the tested traits were examined.

AB Seed priming has been reported to enhance growth of plants. To evaluate the
effect of some physical seed priming materials (ultrasonic, gamma, beta, laser,
magnetic field, irradiations and hydro-priming) on yield and yield components of
sunflower, field experiments were conducted at Islamic Azad University, Tabriz
branch, Iran during 2011-2012 in a randomized complete block design, with three
replications. The results revealed that crop LAI, following pre-sowing treatments,
increased by magnetic fields, laser for 5 and 15 min. and ultrasonic up to 3.36,
3.41, 3.91 and 3.53, respectively. Beta and gamma rays, hydropriming and non-
priming of seeds reduced it at 70 DAE. Highest mean yield produced from seeds
treated with laser (419.7g.m(-2)) and magnetic field (379.8g.m(-2)) for 5 min.
However, it decreased by increasing laser duration from 5 to 10 min. Biomass
produced ranged from 947.4 g.m(-2) in seeds primed under laser for 5 minutes. and
406.7 g.m(-2) in non-priming ones. It was also found that sunflower seeds
irradiated with laser for 5 and 10 minutes and magnetic fields resulted in highest
harvest index (49.1%), as compared with other treatments. It may be concluded that
sunflower growers could improve crop yield by priming the seeds with magnetic field
and laser irradiation before sowing.

AB The experimental material consisted of leaves obtained from 6- and 2-year-old
alfalfa plants. Samples were obtained from a field experiment. One day prior to
sowing, seeds were stimulated using He-Ne laser light with a surface power density
of 6 mW.cm(-2) - free-fall exposure (L) repeated three times; alternating magnetic
field with 30 mT induction and 30 s (P) exposure time; and a combination of laser
light and magnetic field (L+P). The results of the stimulation treatments were
referenced to non-stimulated samples (control - K). The obtained values of
fluorescence lifetime varied from 8.98 to 12.90 ns (t1) and from 3.84 to 5.14 ns
(t2). The physical factors applied caused an extension of the lifetimes (t1 and
t2), as well as an increase in the chlorophyll a and carotenoid content in 6-year-
old cv. Radius leaves, as compared to the control. Contrary observations (i.e., a
decrease in the aforementioned indicators) were made for cv. Ulstar (old). In the
case of magnetic field stimulation, the longest fluorescence lifetimes, the highest
concentrations of chlorophyll a and carotenoids were noted for cv. Radius (old).
The content of chlorophyll a was significantly higher in young Lucerne than in
older plants.

AB The effects of magnetic field (MF) treatments of soybean seeds on calli growth,
cell damage, and biochemical changes under salt stress were investigated under
controlled conditions. Soybean seeds were exposed to a 1.0 Hz sinusoidal uniform
pulsed magnetic field (PMF) of 1.5 mu T for 5 h/day for 20 days. Non-treated seeds
were considered as controls. For callus regeneration, the embryonic axis explants
were taken from seeds and inoculated in a saline medium with a concentration of 10
mM NaCl for calli growth analysis and biochemical changes. The combined treatment
of MF and salt stress was found to significantly increase calli fresh weight, total
soluble sugar, total protein, and total phenol contents, but it decreased the
ascorbic acid, lipid peroxidation, and catalase activity of calli from magnetically
exposed seeds compared to the control calli. PMF treatment significantly improved
calli tolerance to salt stress in terms of an increase in flavonoid, flavone,
flavonole, alkaloid, saponin, total polyphenol, genistein, and daidzein contents
under salt stress. The results suggest that PMF treatment of soybean seeds has the
potential to counteract the adverse effects of salt stress on calli growth by
improving primary and secondary metabolites under salt stress conditions.

AB Brown rice was exposed to low-pressure plasma ranging from 1 to 3 kV for 10 min.
Treatment of brown rice in low-pressure plasma increases the germination
percentage, seedling length, and water uptake in laboratory germination tests. Of
the various treatments, 3-kV plasma exposure for 10 min yielded the best results.
In germinating brown rice, a-amylase activity was significantly higher in treated
groups than in controls. The higher enzyme activity in plasma-treated brown rice
likely triggers the rapid germination and earlier vigor of the seedlings. Low-
pressure plasma also increased gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels from similar
to 19 to similar to 28 mg/100 g. In addition, a marked increase in the antioxidant
activity of brown rice was observed with plasma treatments compared to controls.
The main finding of this study indicates that low-pressure plasma is effective at
enhancing the growth and GABA accumulation of germinated brown rice, which can
supply high nutrition to consumer. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The magnetic field can change the polarity characteristics and hydrogen-bond
structure of water; therefore, magnetized water can affect plant growth and
development. Magnetized water is hexagonal water created by passing water through a
specific magnet that can activate and ionize water molecules to change its
structure. This review highlights the use of magnetized water in the agricultural
sector to enhance plant growth and food productivity. We discussed the impact of
magnetized water on seed germination, vegetative growth, fruit production, soil and
pigments of treated plants. Plant growth and development can be improved both
qualitatively and quantitatively via irrigation with magnetized water. It can
promote seed germination, seedling early vegetative development, improvement of the
mineral content of fruits and seeds, the enzyme activity of the soil, improved
water use efficiency, higher nutrient content, and better transformation and
consumption efficiency of nutrients; it can also mitigate soil salinity.
Furthermore, magnetized water had a substantial good influence on the mobility and
uptake of micronutrient concentrations, as well as promoted better growth criteria,
all of which increased biomass and total yield. Also, irrigating plants with
magnetized water resulted in a considerable increase in chloroplast pigments
(carotenoids, chlorophyll a, and b) and photosynthetic activity. Magnetizing low-
quality water (brackish water, saline water or water contaminated with metals) can
be considered as an alternative tool to overcome the problem of scarcity and
shortage of water resources. As a result, magnetic treatment of irrigation water
could be a promising technique to boost agricultural production while also being
environmentally beneficial in the future. The major challenge in using magnetized
water in agriculture is creating pumps that are compatible with the technical and
practical needs of magnetic systems while also effectively integrating irrigation
components.

DE seeds; lettuce; beetroot; garden dill; pulsed radio frequency; health

ID PERMANENT MAGNETIC-FIELD; GERMINATION
AB The most significant problem, in ecological vegetable seed production, is low,
capacity which is mainly caused by high rates of seed infection with fungi and a
shortage of effective biological agents to eliminate pathogens. Therefore,
proecological methods of seed quality enhancement are being researched, with the
aim of increasing the profitability of seed production by improving the seed sowing
value. The aim of the work was to evaluate the effectiveness of pulsed radio
frequency on the seed quality of selected vegetable cultivars. The results obtained
from research conducted in laboratory, greenhouse and field conditions indicate the
protective effect of pulsed radio frequency treatment of seeds by a reduction in
the incidence of beetroot, lettuce and garden dill seed-borne fungi, and an
improvement in their health status and germination capacity. The presowing
application of pulsed radio frequency resulted in a 60-80% reduction of seed
infestation with fungi, depending on the plant species. This treatment improved the
dynamics of seed germination, plant emergence, growth, and increased the
chlorophyll content and gas exchange in leaves. The most beneficial results were
obtained in beetroot, in which the problem of seed production is associated with a
high rate of seed infestation with mycoflora and the presence of germination
inhibitors in the seed coat. The results indicate the high efficiency of the
applied pulsed radio frequency and its usefulness in ecological and integrated seed
production.

AB Chemicals used for seed treatments help to increase the agricultural production
by preventing pests and pathogens but also cause environmental and health problems.
Thus, environmentally-friendly technologies need to be developed for a seed
treatment that inactivates surface microflora and improves seed vigor. One such
pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment applied to cucumber seeds in the range of
1.07-17.28 Joule (J) significantly enhanced a mean germination rate (MGR) by up to
9%, a normal seedling rate by 25.73%, and a resistance to 100 and 200 mM salt
stresses by 96% and 91.67%, respectively, with a stronger and faster growth of
roots and seedlings. PEF treatment provided 3.34 and 3.22 log-reductions in the
surface microflora of total mold and yeast and total aerobic mesophilic bacteria,
respectively. The electrical conductivity (EC) values of the control samples
increased over time, from 4 to 24 h. Those of the PEF-treated samples after 4, 12,
and 24th hours were also more affected by the measurement time not by the PEF
treatment.
The joint optimization of 18 responses based on the best-fit Gaussian process
model pointed to 19.78 s and 17.28 J as the optimal settings. The PEF treatment
appeared to improve seed germination ability and stress resistance with the
adequate inactivation of surface microflora.
