The influence of a 40-fold attenuated
geomagnetic field and its combined action with low doses of α- and
γ-irradiation on the physiological characteristics of seeds of the highest
plants and redox properties of water was investigated. It established the
reduction of seed germination both under direct and indirect effects due to
water action of attenuated geomagnetic field. A negative effect of hypomagnetic
field on grown characteristics of seeds under indirect effect via water was
decreased by the low doses of γ-irradiation, and was increased by low doses of
α-irradiation, i.e. ionized radiation was the dominant factor in their combined
action. It was revealed the increasing of the value of the oxidation-reduction
potential of water under the influence of low-intensive α-ir-radiation (239Pu),
γ-irradiation (137Cs) and also that the magnetic induction attenuated pointing
to a natural decline. The increasing of the oxidation-reduction potential value
testifies about “the regular decreasing of internal energy of water molecules”
and the increasing of its oxidative properties, which, in our opinion, is
caused the inhibition of the germination of seeds. It is supposed that namely
water is the main component in the effects of studying factors on bio-objects,
which acts due to the alterations of the properties and structural content of
water.
