title: [Dependence of gravitotropic reaction in segments of flax stems on frequency and amplitude of variable components of a weak combined magnetic field].
abstract: We determined the dependence of the effect of weak combined magnetic field (CMF) tuned to Ca2+ resonance (Ca(2+)-CMF) on the rate of gravitropic response in apical segments (25 mm long) excised from the 4-day-old seedlings of flax (Linum bienne) on the amplitude and frequency of the alternating component of Ca(2+)-CMF. The results indicate that test-systems derived from plant and animal sources are affected by Ca(2+)-CMF via an identical mechanism.
