Original Abstract

Most materials have a property to create their own magnetic field when exposed to an external field. The human body is partly diamagnetic, which means that the effect of the external field can cause the body's own field. Long-term exposure of magnetic fields on blood and nervous system has positive effects, these effects are utilized in the treatment method called magneto therapy. Similar positive effects can be traced in the plant tissue culture. Samples of spruce embryos grown in the plastic Petri's dishes were placed between the permanent magnets (with defined magnetic field gradient) in a dark place with no effect of the external lighting at a constant temperature and humidity. Samples were periodically removed from the magnetic field and moved in isolated box throughout the outdoor environment into the room with NMR tomograph for imaging individual tissue cultures. The aim of this project is to confirm the hypothesis that the samples in a magnetic field of permanent magnets will grow faster than the control samples taken off the effect of magnets while keeping both in a constant temperature and humidity. After the fifteen days the last measurement was carried out and the results of all measurements were evaluated using the programs Marevisi and Matlab. Observed parameters of individual samples were processed into graphs. The graphs can confirm the hypothesis of faster growth in samples of the magnetic field of permanent magnets, although the transfer was not maintained at constant temperature which resulted in fogging of dishes. This had no significant effect on the growth of the samples.
