Abstract
An individual plant cell functions as a complex dynamic circuit, composed of resistor, capacitor, and inductor networks created by cellular structures and macromolecules. Furthermore, high-voltage electrostatic fields (HVEF) alter its electrical properties and initiate metabolic changes. This study aimed to examine the impact of HVEF on the kinetic properties of potassium (K$^+$) and phosphate (H$_2$PO$_4^-$) absorption by Cucumis sativus L. seedlings, and further probed the regulatory mechanisms by constructing a cell membrane potential model. Experimental findings revealed that HVEF substantially altered the maximum uptake rate ($I_{max}$), half-saturation constant ($K_m$), and minimum cr... More >
