Analysis of Bioelectric Potential Responses of Plants to Transient Electromagnetic Fields

Abstract

This paper describes an analysis of the effects of transient electromagnetic fields on bioelectric potential responses of plant leaves. In our experiment, a single transient electromagnetic field was periodically applied to aloe and pachira for 3 days. The pulse application cycle was set to 1 time per 1 day with charging voltage of 20kV. After the pulse application, we measured bioelectric potential of target leaves for 12 hours. As a result, we found that bioelectric potential energy was increased by application of transient electromagnetic fields.
