      abstract = {Objective: To evaluate the effect of exposing corn seeds  to a 100 mT magnetic field (MF) on their sprout   development.  Design/methodology/approach: A completely  randomized design was used, with five treatments (0, 10,   15, 30, and 60 minutes of MF exposure) with three  repetitions (72 experimental units). From the germination   process, the gibberellic acid concentration (GA3) and  -amylase activity were determined, morphometric and   biochemical parameters of the foliar tissue from the  sprouts were measured, such as total phenols, flavonoids,   and catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX) and phenylalanium  ammonium lyase (PAL) activities. Finally, some  nutritional  quality parameters of the sprouts were quantified, such as  protein and ash content.  Results: The results showed that  the treatment of corn seeds with a MF had a favorable  effect on the  germination process increasing the GA3  concentration. Also, improvement in the development and  quality of  the sprouts, by increasing the growth of the  shoot, root length, concentration of phenolic compounds and  ash  content in corn sprouts was found.  Limitations on  study/implications: escalate elicitation to the field  level.  Findings/conclusions: The elicitation of corn seeds  with a magnetic field generates positive changes that   transcend the corn sprouts.},
