Effect of termostimulation on maize leaves’ biopotentials

Abstract

Dynamics of maize leaves' biopotentials evoked by cold- and heat stimuli with two frequencies 0.05 and 0.1 Hz is analyzed. Potential amplitude dependence of heating rate and time interval between first and following stimuli during both heating and cooling was discovered. It is ascertained that following potentials' amplitude increases in time during heat stimulation and decreases in time during cold stimulation. Qualitative difference in the reaching of potential stabilization is established for both stimulation frequencies; and probable reasons of the difference are analyzed. Potential stabilization levels are fixed for each series of experiment.
