隐花色素是第一个已知的黄素型蓝光受体，在100多年的努力后被鉴定的植物物种。甚至除了对植物的重要性之外，由于在动物甚至人类中出现了具有许多保守特征的同源物，隐色素对许多其他领域产生了超越性的影响。隐花色素还为量子生物学的新兴领域做出了贡献，该领域涉及生物学和医学中的量子物理现象的研究。量子理论预测，磁场可以改变生化反应的反应速率（产物形成），包括代谢酶催化的反应速率或隐花色素等黄蛋白受体的生物活性。因此，电磁场理论上可以调节许多重要的农艺植物过程，以及其他生物体的过程。在这篇文章中，我们简要总结了已知的磁场在生物系统中的作用，以期确定可能的保守的基本机制与植物的实际应用。证据表明，opsiscryptochromes可以作为磁场传感器将审查，以及在形成活性氧（活性氧）的电磁场的作用。总之，我们将提出可行的方法，以实现低成本，环境友好，广泛适用的作物改良策略，使用量子生物学的工具，可以在今天实施。
Arabidopsisis the plant species in which Cryptochrome, the first known flavin-type blue light receptor, was identified after over 100 years of effort. Even beyond their critical importance to plants,Arabidopsiscryptochromes have had a transcendental impact on many other fields due to the occurrence of homologs in animals and even man with many conserved features. Cryptochromes have furthermore contributed to the emerging field of Quantum Biology, which involves the study of quantum physical phenomena in biology and medicine. Quantum theory predicts that magnetic fields can alter the reaction rates (product formation) of biochemical reactions, including those catalyzed by metabolic enzymes or the biological activity of flavoprotein receptors such as cryptochromes. Therefore, electromagnetic fields could theoretically regulate many agronomically important plant processes, as well as those of other organisms. In this communication we briefly summarize the known effects of magnetic fields in biological systems with the view to identifying possible conserved underlying mechanisms with practical applications for plants. Evidence thatArabidopsiscryptochromes could serve as magnetic field sensors will be reviewed, as well as the role of electromagnetic fields in the formation of ROS (reactive oxygen species). In conclusion, we will suggest workable methods to achieve low cost, environmentally friendly, and broadly applicable crop improvement strategies using tools from Quantum Biology that can be implemented today.
