Effects of static MF or zero MF (<2 μT) reported in plants that can be related to Cry function, and that have been published in peer-reviewed journals written in English since the year 2,000 (λ = wavelength, WT = wild-type). All studies have been performed at about 21°C (25°C in Rakosy-Tican et al., 2005).
