“…who reported similar texture (as a sensory characteristic) for sprouts grown from plasma-treated and untreated radish seeds and rapeseeds, respectively. Other researchers have reported the impact of plasma treatment on the texture of seeds − or texture of leaves, which were treated under a plasma device. , However, to our knowledge, no study has been published regarding the texture of leaves grown from plasma-treated seeds.…”

The effect of cold plasma treatment of basil seeds on the hydroponic growth of sweet basil plants was investigated. Basil seeds were exposed to air-based cold plasma for 30 s using a Plasmajet. Plasma-treated and untreated seeds were germinated into small seedlings under controlled conditions for 14 days. The seedlings were then transferred to controlled environment canopies and grown hydroponically for 21 days. Harvested basil plants were analyzed for their dry tissue mass, growth parameters (plant height, number of branches and nodes, root length, and leaf index), quality (color and texture), and microbiology (total plate count). The plasma treatment of seeds resulted in higher fresh and dry weights, plant height, leaf index, leaf length, and leaf width for basil plants compared to plants grown from untreated seeds. The moisture content, number of branches and nodes, root length, color, and texture of basil leaves were not significantly affected by the plasma treatment of seeds. The results suggest that the plasma treatment of the basil seeds could be effective for improving the plant growth and yield.

“…This initiates the reaction of RONS having good solubility in water at appropriate concentrations. This results in the removal of wax and the etching of the seed coat, reducing its thickness [52][53][54][55]. Consequently, the seeds can absorb PAW-containing N 2 species more rapidly.…”

This research aimed to understand the use of air gliding arc (GA) plasma to generate plasma-activated water (PAW) for fixing nitrogen in water and the chemical properties of PAW on the germination of rice seeds. The N2, NO, and OH molecules in GA plasma led to NO3−, NO2−, and H2O2 formation in the PAW. The NO3−, NO2−, and H2O2 contents in PAW rapidly decreased after 5 days of storage. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomised design using GA plasma discharged above the surface of deionised (DI) water with different airflow rates (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 L/min) compared to the control (DI water). The NO3− and NO2− contents increased, resulting in an increase in total nitrogen (N) and gibberellic acid (GA3) accumulation in rice seeds. The PAW at an airflow rate of 5 L/min was optimal for enhancing radicle emergence at 48 and 72 h, germination, germination index, shoot length, fresh weight, and dry weight of seedlings. Therefore, air GA plasma to generate PAW is an efficient method for producing nitrogen in a soluble form, which can support the germination processes and early growth of rice seedlings.

“…TPC performs a vital role for stimulating the growth and development of plant [63]. It acts as a primary antioxidant and protects plants from carcinogenesis, antimicrobial activity, and repose acidic activity [14]. It is seen from Fig ( 4) that the concentrations of TPC are gradually increased both in leaves and roots.…”

“…Recently, scientists have been studied the effects of cold atmospheric pressure (CAP) plasma treatments of seeds on the enhancement of crop yields [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. CAP technologies have been applied to investigate the seed germination rates [15][16][17], plant growth and development [10,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and yield [8,9,[11][12][13][14]27]. Further, CAPs have been applied to improve the stress tolerance of plants due to drought [28] and cadmium [20].…”

“…However, different types of discharges, such as glow discharge [8,23,29] DBD [10,19,21,24,30] and gliding arc discharge [9], CAPs with various gasses have been studied. Very recently, the combined effects of plasma seed treatment along with foliar spray of plasma-activated water (PAW) have already been investigated in rice [14,31]. Combined studies revealed that the results on growth, nutrients, and yields of rice and eggplants are found impressive.…”

Applications of plasmas in agriculture are fascinating researchers because of its potentiality. Plasmas are applied either for seed treatment or as foliar application of plasma-activated water (PAW) for studying agricultural yield. No work has been done so far to study the effects on growth parameters, enzymatic activities, nutritional parameters, and yield of potato (Solanum tubersum L.) grown from the second-generation seeds (G2) (seeds collected from the potato plants where foliar spray of PAW was applied). Two-fold plasma treatments were applied in this experiment: (a) potato seeds were treated in water with plasma and (b) foliar spray of PAW was applied to potato plants. Effects of plasma treatments were characterized by enzymatic activities, sugar and protein concentrations, potato plant growth and yield characters. The findings show that the plant length, stem diameter, fresh weight, and the concentrations of total chlorophyll and carotene are increased in the plants where G2 treated seeds along with foliar spray of PAWs were provided. Further, the concentrations of total soluble sugar, protein and minerals were increased. Besides, the yield of potato was enhanced by \(23.95\%\), and \(23.21\%\), respectively, in the plants where combined plasma treatments were used compared to controls of first-generation (G1) plasma treated and untreated seeds along with PAW foliar spray.
