Abstract
Magnetostatic stimuli were fairly applied to the tip of seminal roots of Maize and the response was observed. At 72 hours after sowing, the test seminal roots with almost equal length of 60 mm started to be exposed to seven levels of magnetic field strength, 0.5, 1.6, 5, 16, 50, 160 and 500-G (Gauss) in magnetic flux density, during 48 hours. Start-up drops and rapid recovering in elongation rate clearly appeared to occur for all test roots, and the recovering elongation rates reached about ten times as high as controls. Within 6 hours after the exposure-on to magnetic filed, the high increases in elongation rate of test roots relaxed and decreased to the almost same value of controls. Stimuli by exposure-off of magnetic field induced no significant variations in a rate of root elongation.
