the effect of HVEF with the same strength was not obvious. The mechanism study indicated that
the PEF and HVEF had some influences on oxidative and protein metabolism of germinating
mung beans, and decomposition of storage protein in the initial stage of germination and
synthesis of new protein in later stage of germination were promoted by the PEF, while HVEF
promoted the synthesis of protein in later stage of germination. The study also found that the
PEF and HVEF can activate SOD induced by superoxide anion free radical and promote the
synthesis of POD. The cause of the difference about effect of extremely low frequency PEF and
HVEF on germinating crop seeds was also discussed in this paper. It is concluded that same
intensity extremely low frequency pulsed electric field (PEF) with 1 Hz and HVEF can promote
crop seed germination and growth of the crop, however, the PEF with 1 Hz is more effective than
HVEF.
