This experimental study assessed cytotoxic and genotoxic endpoints in Trigonella foenum-graecum L. exposed to 2100 MHz and 2300 MHz EMF-r for 0.5–8 h/day. The authors report reduced root/shoot growth at longer daily exposures, increased chromosomal aberrations compared with controls, and reduced cell viability.…

This paper describes the design and validation of a vibrating intrinsic reverberation chamber (VIRC) placed inside a walk-in plant growth chamber to enable controlled RF-EMF exposure studies with real-time electric-field monitoring. The authors report that the field in the VIRC is stable and statistically uniform…

This experimental study assessed chlorophyll fluorescence rise kinetics in lettuce plants exposed to RF-EMFs and subjected to a short drought treatment. Using a conventional JIP test and a machine learning-assisted anomaly-detection approach, the authors report that RF-EMF exposure weakened drought-induced hormetic…

Jan 1, 2023
This study aims to perform transcriptome profiling in flax plants exposed to a low-frequency alternating electromagnetic field. The abstract frames prior work as suggesting EMF-related changes in free radical homeostasis and altered expression of genes involved in stress responses, ion transport, and cell wall…
Electromagnetic Fields Act Similarly in Plants as in Animals: Probable Activation of Calcium Channels via Their Voltage Sensor

Jan 1, 2016
This narrative review proposes that low-intensity microwave/lower-frequency EMFs activate plasma membrane calcium channels in animals, increasing intracellular calcium and triggering downstream signaling including oxidative stress pathways. It further suggests that EMF actions in terrestrial multicellular plants are…
