- Intervention effect Conocephalus tissue toward the anode died, while the cathode region remained alive.
- Association Dead region increased with current density.
- Association Dead region increased with exposure duration.
- Intervention effect Opposite plant orientations did not differ in injury.
- Observation Regeneration did not occur toward the anode but occurred elsewhere.
- Observation New growth was more frequent when the apex faced the cathode.
- Observation The dead region occupied 5 to 63% of thallus length.
