Abstract
We studied the hormone contents of Juglans regia L. (walnut) and Cerasus avium L. Moench (cherry) exposed to electromagnetic fields of high voltage transmission line and the effects of the exposure on the physiology of plants. While an increase was observed in abscisic acid (ABA) contents, decreases were observed in gibberellic acid (GA3) contents and in the chlorophyll a, b quantities of these plants, compared to the control groups. The indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content exhibited a species specific property with an increase in Juglans regia and a decrease in Cerasus avium plants. According to physiological effects, high voltage had negative effects to the growth and development of the plants and their leaf thickness and leaf mesophyll show modifications as densely packed mesophyll in leaf anatomies of plants. Oil cell increases were observed only in the anatomical cross sections of leaves of Cerasus avium L. Moench.
