The exposures were carried out using electrical pulses of 10 ns duration with the field intensity varied from 5 to 20 kV cm -1 . Statistical analysis on the average leaf area showed that the positive nsPEF effect appeared a few days after germination. It was also found that the effect was significant the second week following treatments, especially at 10 kV cm -1 with a maximum increase of 80% compared to the control (P < 0.01). © 2012 Elsevier B.V.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyEngineeringMaterials SciencePhysics and AstronomyArticleSCOPUS10.1016/j.elstat.2012.06.004
