“…sativus ), and strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ) when watering the plants with air bubble discharge activated water. However, here the effect is attributed only to the NO 3 − ions, similar to the studies of Lindsay et al conducted on radish, marigold, and tomato plants (the NO 3 − concentration in the used water is estimated to be 80 mg/l). Sivachandiran and Khacef have observed a significant increase of the radish seeds germination when using PAW during the germination phase, which contained 16.22 mg/l NO 3 − and 0.11 mg/l H 2 O 2 .…”

It is shown that plasma‐activated water (PAW) improves tolerance against combined low temperature and hypoxia stresses during germination. Due to PAW's effect on the antioxidant system, PAW pretreatment mitigates the reducing effect on plant growth of the hydroponically applied NaCl. PAW pretreatment reduces the salt‐stress‐induced decrease of the cysteine and γ‐glutamylcysteine content and improves the plant's recovery after NaCl stress. PAW pretreatment also modifies the NaCl‐induced changes in carotenoid content, especially, β‐carotenes and xanthophylls. These compounds, together with glutathione can reduce salt‐induced damage through the removal of excess reactive oxygen species, which could be the basis of the protective effect of PAW.

“…Another point that should be noted is that highly concentrated LNF would be detrimental or even fatal to plant growth. This leads us to the conclusion that nitrogen may play a critical role in the air plasma-stimulated germination and growth of mung bean46. The effect of air plasma treatment time on germination rate and plant length was also investigated.…”

Atmospheric-pressure N2, He, air, and O2 microplasma arrays have been used to investigate the effects of plasma treatment on seed germination and seedling growth of mung bean in aqueous solution. Seed germination and growth of mung bean were found to strongly depend on the feed gases used to generate plasma and plasma treatment time. Compared to the treatment with atmospheric-pressure O2, N2 and He microplasma arrays, treatment with air microplasma arrays was shown to be more efficient in improving both the seed germination rate and seedling growth, the effect attributed to solution acidification and interactions with plasma-generated reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Acidic environment caused by air discharge in water may promote leathering of seed chaps, thus enhancing the germination rate of mung bean, and stimulating the growth of hypocotyl and radicle. The interactions between plasma-generated reactive species, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitrogen compounds, and seeds led to a significant acceleration of seed germination and an increase in seedling length of mung bean. Electrolyte leakage rate of mung bean seeds soaked in solution activated using air microplasma was the lowest, while the catalase activity of thus-treated mung bean seeds was the highest compared to other types of microplasma.

“…[15,[29][30][31] The indirect plasma treatment/activation of seeds and plants by the CP, that is, the effect of plasma activated gas or plasma activated water (PAW) is far less studied than the direct plasma effect even though it can also enhance seed germination and plant growth. The PAW can be generated by operating electric discharges directly in water [32,33] but more often in gas in a contact with water, [34] usually above the water surface, for example, gliding arc, [35][36][37] glow discharge, [38] dielectric barrier discharge, [39][40][41][42] or plasma jets. [43,44] Besides pure water also other liquid media, such as drainage water from pots, [32] nutrient solution, [33] or fertilizer [43] have been activated and used.…”

The paper presents the study on the effects of the plasma activated water (PAW) generated by transient spark discharge on the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivated in vitro and in vivo. Water uptake and germination of seeds, growth parameters of seedlings and plants, as well as the content of photosynthetic pigments, soluble proteins and activity of antioxidant enzymes are reported and correlated with the concentrations of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the PAW. The PAW improves germination, early development of the seedlings, the content of photosynthetic pigments in the leaves and soluble protein content in the roots, and suppresses the activity of antioxidant enzymes. The results indicate that the PAW may effectively stimulate growth of the wheat seedlings and positively affect their metabolism especially in the soil with low nutrient content.
