Effect of magnetic field on peroxidase activities of soybean tissue culture

Abstract

In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of magnetic field on peroxidase activities of soybean tissue culture. Shoot tips were put into petri dishes and exposed to a magnetic field for a period of 2.2 and 19.8 s at a magnetic flux of 2.9-4.6 mT. The shoot and root formation rate, fresh weights, chlorophyll quantities, total RNA concentrations and peroxidase activities of regenerated shoots from control and treated shoot tips were determined.
