Gravitational and magnetic field variations synergize to cause subtle variations in the global transcriptional state of Arabidopsis in vitro callus cultures.

The article offers information on a study conducted in order to determine the impact of effective gravity and magnetic field strengths in plants with special reference to Arabidopsis thaliana. The study has revealed that gravitational and magnetic fields produce synergistic variations in transcriptional profile of plants. It has been discovered that high gradient magnetic fields have significant effect on plants, especially on structural, abiotic stress genes and secondary metabolism genes.
