The authors concluded that high temperature microwaves cause damage to the germinal membrane, which affects germination activity, and this process is exacerbated with increasing temperature. High temperatures stimulate germination channels to promote germination, but leakage of DNA and key proteins inhibits subsequent growth, resulting in a significant decrease in growth rate and a slight increase in germination rate under higher temperature microwave treatment. In addition, the surface of the spores appeared wrinkled after high-temperature microwave radiation and became smaller with increasing temperature, most likely due to the leakage of molecules such as CaDPA.
