| Zusammenfassung |
| The geomagnetic field (GMF) is steadily acting on living systems, and is known to influence many biological processes. In animals the mechanistic origin of the GMF effect has been clarified and cryptochrome has been suggested as chemical magnetoreceptor. Here we propose an analogous possible role for the GMF variations on plant evolution. |
