“…These effects saturate and decrease after 2 min of treatment. Very similar effects were described for mung bean seeds [51,61], pea seeds [39,42,52,62], lentil seeds [47] and peanuts [63], where also a yield improvement by 10% was reported, soybean seeds [54,64] and for many leguminous species, like blue lupine, goat-rue, honey clover, and soybean [41,42]. For red clover seeds, according to Mindaziene et al [65] this effect is correlated with changes in the phytohormone content, where the amount of abscisic acid decreased and gibberellin/abscisic acid ratio increased.…”

“…A significant reduction of the seed-borne microbial contamination on pea was observed by Khatami and Ahmadinia [ 39 ], where the amount of microorganisms decreased by ca 3-log from initial 5.5 to 2.5 log CFU/mL/cm 2 (the units are not explained in the original paper) after 60 s of exposure. Peanut decontamination was reported by Basaran et al [ 40 ], where 1-log and 5-log reductions of Aspergillus parasiticus after 5 min treatment in air or a SF 6 atmosphere were observed, respectively.…”

“…The authors of [ 39 ] reported an increase of the length of shoots and roots after 30 s and 60 s of plasma treatment with the optimum being observed at 30 s for pea and zucchini ( Cucurbita pepo , Cucurbitaceae family) seedlings. The improvement of root and shoot length, dry weight, and the vigor, together with changes in the production of endogenous hormones (auxins and cytokinins and their catabolites and conjugates) was also reported by Stolárik et al [ 52 ].…”

The legumes (Fabaceae family) are the second most important agricultural crop, both in terms of harvested area and total production. They are an important source of vegetable proteins and oils for human consumption. Non-thermal plasma (NTP) treatment is a new and effective method in surface microbial inactivation and seed stimulation useable in the agricultural and food industries. This review summarizes current information about characteristics of legume seeds and adult plants after NTP treatment in relation to the seed germination and seedling initial growth, surface microbial decontamination, seed wettability and metabolic activity in different plant growth stages. The information about 19 plant species in relation to the NTP treatment is summarized. Some important plant species as soybean (Glycine max), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), mung bean (Vigna radiata), black gram (V. mungo), pea (Pisum sativum), lentil (Lens culinaris), peanut (Arachis hypogaea), alfalfa (Medicago sativa), and chickpea (Cicer aruetinum) are discussed. Likevise, some less common plant species i.g. blue lupine (Lupinus angustifolius), Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and mimosa (Mimosa pudica, M. caesalpiniafolia) are mentioned too. Possible promising trends in the use of plasma as a seed pre-packaging technique, a reduction in phytotoxic diseases transmitted by seeds and the effect on reducing dormancy of hard seeds are also pointed out.

“…In previous studies, physiological and biochemical responses were enhanced by cold plasma exposure in many crop plants: T. aestivum and A. sativa 145 , O. sativa L. 18 , Gossypium hirsutum L. 146 , Pisum sativum L. and Cucurbita pepo L. 147 . Seed treated with cold plasma has shown long-term effects at a later stage, such as the seedling stage 133,139 , to cope with biotic and abiotic stressors, such as drought stress and disease stress.…”

Farmers and seed companies constantly require high-quality seeds with excellent agronomic performance. However, faced with environmental adversity, limited natural resources and increasing food demand around the globe, more attention has turned to improving crop plant production by implementing efficient strategies. Seed priming technology has shown promising biological improvements leading to suitable agronomic performance in crop plants under adverse environmental conditions. Seeds are subjected to controlled conditions that are conducive to complex physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes, conferring specific stress tolerance to subsequent germination and growth conditions. In this review paper, we aimed to study the recent approaches in the efficiency of hydropriming, osmopriming, chemopriming, hormopriming, nanopriming, matrix priming, biopriming, physical priming and hybrid priming procedures in the production of crop plants under environmental adversity, as well as their biological mechanism changes. All priming methods demonstrated relevant changes in the biological mechanism related to crop plant production by mitigating salinity effects, heavy metals, and flooding stress and enhancing chilling, heat, drought and phytopathogen tolerance. We strongly recommend that researchers combine multiple priming methods, known as hybrid priming, in their investigations to provide novel technologies and additional biological approaches to enhance the knowledge of crop plant science. Thus, the findings shed light on the use of seed priming technology as a key strategy to increase crop plant production under environmental adversity by acquiring stress tolerance and enhancing agronomic traits to meet the global food demand.

The contamination of maize by Fusarium species able to produce mycotoxins raises great concern worldwide since they can accumulate these toxic metabolites in field crop products. Furthermore, little information exists today on the ability of Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium graminearum, two well know mycotoxigenic species, to translocate from the seeds to the plants up to the kernels. Marketing seeds coated with fungicide molecules is a common practice; however, since there is a growing need for reducing chemicals in agriculture, new eco-friendly strategies are increasingly tested. Technologies based on ionized gases, known as plasmas, have been used for decades, with newer material surfaces, products, and approaches developed continuously. In this research, we tested a plasma-generated bilayer coating for encapsulating prothioconazole at the surface of maize seeds, to protect them from F. graminearum and F. proliferatum infection. A minimum amount of chemical was used, in direct contact with the seeds, with no dispersion in the soil. The ability of F. graminearum and F. proliferatum species to translocate from seeds to seedlings of maize has been clearly proven in our in vitro experiments. As for the use of plasma technology, the combined use of the plasma-generated coating with embedded prothioconazole was the most efficient approach, with a higher reduction of the infection of the maize seminal root system and stems. The debated capability of the two Fusarium species to translocate from seeds to seedlings has been demonstrated. The plasma-generated coating with embedded prothioconazole resulted in a promising sustainable approach for the protection of maize seedlings.
