Hundreds of studies have found that weak magnetic fields can significantly influence various
biological systems. However, the underlying mechanisms behind these phenomena remain …

Although it has been known for almost half a century that migratory birds can detect the
direction of the Earth's magnetic field, the primary sensory mechanism behind this …

Crop yield can be raised by establishment of adequate plant stand using seeds with high
germination ratio and vigor. Various pre-sowing treatments are adopted to achieve this …

Three major classes of flavin photosensors, light oxygen voltage (LOV) domains, blue light
sensor using FAD (BLUF) proteins and cryptochromes (CRYs), regulate diverse biological …

Magnetoreception, the remarkable ability of organisms to perceive and respond to Earth's
magnetic field, has captivated scientists for decades, particularly within the field of quantum …

Main conclusion Arabidopsis cryptochrome mediates responses to magnetic fields that have
been applied in the absence of light, consistent with flavin reoxidation as the primary …

Photolyase, a flavoenzyme containing flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) molecule as a
catalytic cofactor, repairs UV-induced DNA damage of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) …

This paper summarizes studies on changes in cellular free radical activities from exposure to
static and extremely-low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF), particularly magnetic …

There is growing evidence that the remarkable ability of animals, in particular birds, to sense
the direction of the Earth's magnetic field relies on magnetically sensitive photochemical …

Here we propose a mechanism by which spin-polarization can be generated dynamically in
chiral molecular systems undergoing photoinduced electron transfer. The proposed …
