Photosynthesis is an important target of action of numerous environmental factors; in particular, stressors can strongly affect photosynthetic light reactions. Considering relations of photosynthetic light reactions to electron and proton transport, it can be supposed that extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELFMF) may influence these reactions; however, this problem has been weakly investigated. In this paper, we experimentally tested a hypothesis about the potential influence of ELFMF of 18 µT intensity with Schumann resonance frequencies (7.8, 14.3, and 20.8 Hz) on photosynthetic light reactions in wheat and pea seedlings. It was shown that ELFMF decreased non-photochemical quenching in wheat and weakly influenced quantum yield of photosystem II at short-term treatment; in contrast, the changes in potential and effective quantum yields of photosystem II were observed mainly under chronic action of ELFMF. It is interesting that both short-term and chronic treatment decreased the time periods for 50% activation of quantum yield and non-photochemical quenching under illumination. Influence of ELFMF on pea was not observed at both short-term and chronic treatment. Thus, we showed that ELFMF with Schumann resonance frequencies could influence photosynthetic light processes; however, this effect depends on plant species (wheat or pea) and type of treatment (short-term or chronic).
光合作用是许多环境因素作用的重要目标;特别是,胁迫因子可以强烈影响光合作用的光反应。考虑到光合作用光反应与电子和质子传递的关系,可以推测极低频磁场(ELFMF)可能会影响这些反应;然而,这个问题的研究还很薄弱。在本文中,我们通过实验检验了一个假设,即强度为 18 µT、具有舒曼共振频率(7.8、14.3 和 20.8 Hz)的 ELFMF 可能会对小麦和豌豆幼苗的光合作用光反应产生潜在影响。结果表明,ELFMF 降低了小麦的非光化学猝灭,在短期处理下对光系统 II 的量子产率有微弱影响;相比之下,在 ELFMF 的慢性作用下,主要观察到光系统 II 的潜在和有效量子产率的变化。有趣的是,无论是短期还是慢性处理,都能减少光照下量子产率和非光化学猝灭达到 50%激活所需的时间。在短期和慢性处理下,ELFMF 对豌豆都没有影响。因此,我们表明,具有舒曼共振频率的 ELFMF 可以影响光合作用的光过程;然而,这种影响取决于植物物种(小麦或豌豆)和处理类型(短期或慢性)。
