Abstract
The paper puts forward the mechanism of action of local low-intensity infrared and millimeter electromagnetic radiation on plant tissues. Electric response of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants to the local exposure to low-intensity electromagnetic radiation (0.1–10 mW/cm2) in the infrared and millimeter range using the method of extracellular derivation of the bioelectrical potential was measured. Plots were constructed of the bioelectric potential response amplitude against income electromagnetic radiation intensity. Action spectrum of electromagnetic radiation on the plant bioelectric potential normalized for income intensity and cucumber leaf transmission spectrum were obtained.
