Abstract

This study investigated the effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment on wheat seeds' germination, β-amylase activity, total protein content, water uptake and seedling growth under laboratory conditions. Wheat seeds were exposed to a 10 Hz EMF of 7.5 mT for 5 h over 3 days, with untreated seeds as controls. Results showed significant increases in overall biomass (8.68-fold), above-ground biomass (AGB) (49.47%), and below-ground biomass (BGB) (39.18%) after 48 h of imbibition. EMF treatment enhanced total protein content by fourfold and amylase activity by 4.5-fold compared to controls after 24 h of imbibition. The experimental group also exhibited accelerated germination by 36 h compared to controls. Notably, β-amylase activity in leaf tissue increased fivefold, which is crucial for seed germination. The study concludes that EMF application in early development activates biochemical reactions, accelerating germination and potentially improving crop tolerance to abiotic stresses and promoting seedling emergence in/.

电磁场对小麦种子萌发、β-淀粉酶活性、总蛋白含量、水分吸收及幼苗生长的影响

在室内条件下，研究了电磁场（EMF）处理对小麦种子萌发、β-淀粉酶活性、总蛋白含量、水分吸收和幼苗生长的影响。小麦种子在3天内暴露于10 Hz的7.5 mT EMF中5小时，未处理的种子作为对照。结果表明：渗吸48 h后，总生物量（8.68倍）、地上生物量（49.47%）和地下生物量（39.18%）显著增加；在24小时的抑制后，EMF处理使总蛋白含量提高了4倍，淀粉酶活性提高了4.5倍。与对照组相比，试验组的发芽速度也加快了36小时。值得注意的是，叶片组织中β-淀粉酶活性提高了5倍，这对种子萌发至关重要。研究认为，在植物发育早期应用电磁场可激活生物化学反应，加速发芽，并有可能提高作物对非生物胁迫的耐受性，促进幼苗出苗。生物电磁学。00:00 - 00,2025。©2025©2025生物电磁学学会。

期刊介绍： Bioelectromagnetics is published by Wiley-Liss, Inc., for the Bioelectromagnetics Society and is the official journal of the Bioelectromagnetics Society and the European Bioelectromagnetics Association. It is a peer-reviewed, internationally circulated scientific journal that specializes in reporting original data on biological effects and applications of electromagnetic fields that range in frequency from zero hertz (static fields) to the terahertz undulations and visible light. Both experimental and clinical data are of interest to the journal''s readers as are theoretical papers or reviews that offer novel insights into or criticism of contemporary concepts and theories of field-body interactions. The Bioelectromagnetics Society, which sponsors the journal, also welcomes experimental or clinical papers on the domains of sonic and ultrasonic radiation.
