Preliminary Data: Effects of Homogeneous Magnetic Fields < 10 T
|
control |
|
Virtually no GUS expression is seen in the control plants. |
|
|
|
close-up in bright field |
||
|
8 Tesla |
|
Exposure at 8 T for 2.5 hrs appeared to induce GUS activity. Extensive additional work gave null expression results. |

|
|
close-up in bright field |
||
|
6 Tesla |
|
Magnetic field strength of 6 Tesla and below does not appear to influence GUS expression. |
|
|
4 Tesla |

|
post exp. control |
|
A post-experiment plant was sampled to control for any stress associated with growing the plants in an unaccustomed environment for the duration of the experiment (9hrs). No GUS expression was observed. |
