Influence of Hf Electromagnetic Fields on the Development and the Molecular Biology of the Moss Physcomitrella Patens and the Nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans

چکیده
We propose to investigate the effect of electromagnetic fields on the moss Physcomitrella patens, and on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in the range of 900 MHz – 1 GHz. Physcomitrella patens is a plant whose developmental biology and genetics is well known and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been completely sequenced and this organism has been and is still the most well known chordate as far as genetics, developmental and behavioural biology are concerned.

Presently, the use of protective food additives such as benzoic acid and sodium nitrate is quite common. However, it was found that these additives, which initially appeared to be harmless, led to the emergence of a number of health problems. Cancer and diseases and deaths with no apparent causes are among the leading concerns. Therefore, the studies which can reveal the genotoxic potential of ...

The moss Physcomitrella patens has recently emerged as a powerful genetically tractable model plant system. As a member of the bryophytes, P. patens provides a unique opportunity to study the evolution of a myriad of plant traits, such as polarized cell growth, gametophyte-to-sporophyte transitions, and sperm-to-pollen transition. The availability of a complete genome sequence, together with th...
