Does Magnetism effect plants?

[Pit]

Does an electromagnetic field have any effect on plants?
Growth of plants (Height, width of stem, size of leaves, etc.)?
Direction of growth?
Color of leaves, even?

 

[Enmos]

Probably.

I would thnk that if it can effect change in a human then it can effect change in a plant.

Can an Electromagnet affect Plant Growth?

Can a magnetic field affect plant growth; i.e.
Height of plant
Size of leaves
Width of stem
etc.?

 

[Pit]

Yes, but what kind of changes?
And Since we're on the subject, what effect does it have on humans?

It seems so:

One article I came across claims that a low frequency magnetic field has a hypotensive effect
