Fig.24.4. Action potentials in soybean induced by irradiation at 470 nm in direction B as<br />

shown in Fig. 24.1. The irradiance was 8.5 µE/m 2 s. The distance between electrodes was<br />

5 cm. The soil was preliminarily treated with water every day. The volume of soil was 0.5 L.<br />

The frequency of scanning was 50,000 samples/s.<br />
