Electromagnetic field produced by a moving electrically charged object, can be measured everywhere in the environment and it acts as an important effective stress factor on growth and development of plants. Plants are organisms exposed to different levels of biotic and abiotic environmental impacts and are able to distinguish and respond to their surrounding environment with a high specificity. This study aimed to determine the genotoxic effect of a low frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) on the genomic material of plants. Two groups of bean seeds (wet and dry) were subjected to an electromagnetic field of 4 mT. RAPD profiles of EMF-treated seeds showed differences in banding patterns compared to those of the control. There is no significant different between dry and wet treatments. This result forcefully indicated that genomic template stability and band sharing index was significantly affected by the EMF-induced stress in treated seeds. It was concluded that DNA polymorphism detected by RAPD fingerprinting thus could be used as a potential molecular marker for the assessment of electromagnetic field-induced genotoxicity effects in plants and different treatments including chemical and physical motivators.
