“…As shown in Table 1 , the effects of seed treatment using different NTP devices and protocols have been extensively studied in a wide variety of plants including the main strategic crops (such as wheat, corn, legumes, and oilseeds). Stimulating effects of seed treatment on seed germination in vitro have been demonstrated in most of the publications [ 37 , 41 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 ,…”

Among the innovative technologies being elaborated for sustainable agriculture, one of the most rapidly developing fields relies on the positive effects of non-thermal plasma (NTP) treatment on the agronomic performance of plants. A large number of recent publications have indicated that NTP effects are far more persistent and complex than it was supposed before. Knowledge of the molecular basis and the resulting outcomes of seed treatment with NTP is rapidly accumulating and requires to be analyzed and presented in a systematic way. This review focuses on the biochemical and physiological processes in seeds and plants affected by seed treatment with NTP and the resulting impact on plant metabolism, growth, adaptability and productivity. Wide-scale changes evolving at the epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolic levels are triggered by seed irradiation with NTP and contribute to changes in germination, early seedling growth, phytohormone amounts, metabolic and defense enzyme activity, secondary metabolism, photosynthesis, adaptability to biotic and abiotic stress, microbiome composition, and increased plant fitness, productivity and growth on a longer time scale. This review highlights the importance of these novel findings, as well as unresolved issues that remain to be investigated.

“…The samples were homogenized and extracted with methanol/water/formic acid (15/4/1, v/v/v, −20 • C) according to Dobrev and Kamínek [25] and Dobrev and Va ňková [26]. The labelled internal standards (10 pmol/sample) were added: 13 The phytohormones were separated on a reverse-phase ion-exchange column (Oasis-MCX). Acid hormones (auxins, ABA, SA, JA) were eluted with methanol and basic hormones (cytokinins) were eluted with 0.35 M NH4OH in 60% methanol.…”

“…The stimulation of plants with NTP treatment to promote seed germination and increase yield quantities and quality has attracted interest worldwide. Current papers show that cold plasma has a positive effect on seed germination and early seedling growth of wheat [9,11,12], rice [13], soybean [14,15], oilseed rape [16], and other agronomically and economically important crops. Nevertheless, it has been found that germination and initial growth depend on the time of exposure, the type of plasma used [17,18], and also the type of plant species [19,20].…”

Gliding Arc Plasma Treatment of Maize (Zea mays L.) Grains Promotes Seed Germination and Early Growth, Affecting Hormone Pools, but Not Significantly Photosynthetic Parameters

Maize grains (Zea mays convar. Indentata Sturt.) were treated with non-thermal plasma, where Gliding Arc plasma discharge at an atmospheric pressure was used (working gas: Air; time duration: 0 s, 180 s, 300 s, 600 s). The experiment was conducted at a temperature of 18 °C, light/dark 12/12 h, and a light intensity of 100 µmol/m2s. Seed germination, seedling growth, photosynthetic parameters, and hormone (abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, and cytokinin) contents were measured. The highest stimulation of seed germination (to 141%), root length (to 221%), shoot length (to 298%), and root weight (to 122%) in comparison with the control was recorded after Gliding Arc plasma treatment for 600 s. The photochemical and non-photochemical Chl fluorescence parameters were not significantly affected by Gliding Arc plasma treatment. In contrast, hormonal pools in maize were significantly affected. The short-term plasma treatment (180 s) was associated with a decrease in the stress hormones abscisic acid, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and jasmonate isoleucine, while indole-3-acetic acid and cytokinin precursors were elevated. Longer-term treatment (300 s, 600 s) had an opposite effect—an elevation of abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, and jasmonate isoleucine as well as active cytokinins. The content of auxin decreased. Gliding plasma treatment may significantly affect maize physiology, dependent on the treatment duration.

“…[109] Recently, heat-stressed Rice (Oryza sativa) seeds treated with Air-scalar DBD plasma with 2.17-W discharge power showed a higher germination rate than without plasma heatstressed seeds throughout the germination time course [65]. Rice seeds with low-pressure (~1333 Pa) DBD plasma working with Ar + Air gas mixture [66], hybrid cold plasma (HCP) with Ar feed gas [67], and Air-atmospheric pressure multi-pin plasma generator [68] showed an increase in seed germination and germination rate. The percentage increase in seed germination and germination rate depends on the plasma device and treatment time and it is independent of the pressure (positive effect shown in low-pressure and atmospheric pressure).…”

Outcomes of Pulsed Electric Fields and Nonthermal Plasma Treatments on Seed Germination and Protein Functions

et al. 2022

To meet the needs of the hungry population, it is critical to boost agricultural product production while minimizing contaminated waste. The use of two nonthermal technologies, pulsed electric field (PEF) and nonthermal plasma (NTP), is increasing every day. As both PEF and NTP are relatively newer areas, there is limited knowledge about these two technologies and their modes of action. Studies showed that PEF treatment on the plant seeds helps germination and seedling growth. The positive impact of PEF intensity is highly dependent on the seed coat type and plant species. Another nonthermal technology, NTP, affects seed germination, seedling growth, yield, and resilience to abiotic stress when generated at varying pressures with and without different feed gases. Early germination, germination rate, and germination percentage were all improved when the seedlings were treated with NTP. Similarly to the PEF treatment, NTP had a negative or no effect on germination. This review examined the effects of PEF and NTP on seed germination and analyzed the situation and mechanism behind the positive or negative effect. Deactivation of proteins and enzymes to extend the shelf life of beverages is another prominent application of PEF and NTP. The interaction of PEF and NTP with proteins aids in understanding the microscopic mechanism of these technologies. Therefore, we covered in this review the potential structural and functional changes in proteins/enzymes as a result of PEF and NTP, as well as a comparison of the benefits and drawbacks of these two technologies.
