The influence of combined magnetic field on the fusion of plant protoplasts.
The study of the influence of weak, alternating magnetic field, which was adjusted to the cyclotron frequency of Ca2+ and K+ ions, on the fusion of tobacco and soya protoplasts was carried out using the extra apparatus with ferromagnetic shield. An increase in the frequency of protoplasts fusion in 2-3 times and participation of calcium ions in the induction of protoplast fusion in weak alternating magnetic field have been established.
