These results show that the process of tomato meiosis is highly protected from the influence of a low - frequency magnetic field, in contrast to the somatic tissues .   2 . The recombination effects occur only at longer - lasting and probably stronger physical properties of a magnetic field than what were applied in this experiment .   3 . In the case of using a low - frequency magnetic field for irradiating seeds or seedlings of hybrids F1 (as a stimulating agent), the appearance of chimeric plants is possible .
