The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) from 33 and 275 kV high voltage transmission line on biochemical antioxidant system changes in mustard leaf ( Brassica chinensis ) were investigated under field condition. Mustard leaves exposed to EMF power lines at distances 0, 3, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 21, 30, 40, 50 60 m away the 50, 70 lines. planted different showed that within 20 had significantly (p< 0.05) higher protein, soluble nitrogen chlorophyll contents due strength which decreased with increasing distance line. Higher nearer resulted peroxidase enzymatic activity, content. Protein electrophoretic profile obtained sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) analysis revealed no drastic alterations protein profiles. This suggests could be used as a tool promote growth via photosynthesis once right duration exposure has been established through future studies. Keywords: Mustard, field, markers
