Abstract
In vivo investigations of a possible influence of modulated microwave radiation on the action potential of the plant Mimosa pudica were carried out. In the preliminary results a tendency was observed for the potential pulse to be higher and of shorter duration. Further measurements are nevertheless necessary in order to rule out a coupling of the high frequency field to the electronic set-up
