Summary :

The bioelectric potential of plants is generated by ion concentration difference between inside and outside of plant cells. It has been reported that the bioelectric potential of leaves changes at the beginning of steady irradiation and intensity of the potential response increases with the photosynthetic rate. Although it has been reported that photosynthesis is accelerated by blinking irradiation, the potential response under the blinking irradiation have not been fully clarified. In this study, we measured the bioelectric potential and CO2 consumption of plants under various types of the blinking irradiation. This result showed that the potential response under the blinking irradiation has various behaviors and intensity of the response related to photosynthetic rate. We conclude that our method is suitable for monitoring the biological activity of plants such as photosynthesis.
