Influence of HF electromagnetic fields on the development and the molecular biology of the moss Physcomittrella patens and the nematode Caernorhabditis elegans

We propose to investigate the effect of electromagnetic fields on the moss Physcomitrella patens, and on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in the range of 900 MHz – 1 GHz. Physcomitrella patens is a plant whose developmental biology and genetics is well known and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been completely sequenced and this organism has been and is still the most well known chordate as far as genetics, developmental and behavioural biology are concerned.
