Optical methods for control of hydrogen influence on plants

Abstract

Experimental study of the hydrogen influence on the optical characteristics of plants by Raman spectroscopy was performed. Research revealed the amplitude increase of Raman intensity in wavenumbers 1130 cm^-1 and 1495 cm^-1 for plants under hydrogen influence. The structural changes in the plant leafs were identified by fluorescence confocal microscopy. Experimental study of kinetic processes of plant tissue has shown the emergence of plant reaction to external impact (hydrogen). In turn, the plant response manifested to Raman intensity increase and leads to increase of stem thickness.
