| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A high precision microwave irradiation device having a semiconductor type oscillator was prototyped. Using this apparatus, the optimum condition of microwave for Arabidopsis thaliana (model plant) was searched. As a result of irradiating microwaves to immature, mature vegetative and reproductive Arabidopsis thaliana, microwave irradiation was found to be most suitable for irradiation in juvenile stage. Furthermore, it was found that the amount of pigment such as chlorophyll and anthocyanin changed. Analysis on various genes by using microarray analysis revealed that some genes are activated by microwaves. It was clarified that the influence as electromagnetic waves influences plant growth rather than thermal influence in microwave.
