“…This work continues our earlier work on plasma-induced sterilization at low pressures [59], plasma treatment of seeds at low and atmospheric pressures [60,61] and the effects of a plasma needle on the calli Fritillaria imperialis (family Lilliaceae) [62]. The main goal of this paper was to study the effects of plasma treatment on two cell systems.…”

“…[22][23][24][25][26] In the field of agriculture, research, first of all, focused on the improvement of seed germination and plant growth and cleaning from pathogens by the gas phase plasma species, such as the •OH radical, O 3 and NO molecules, O atoms, and UV radiation. [27][28][29][30][31][32] Recently, plasma-activated water (PAW) has become one of the main areas of interest in the field of plasma agriculture, as contact of seeds and plants with water is most natural. By this means, atmospheric pressure plasmas can be used to produce active radicals in water, which can afterward be applied to seeds and plants.…”

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.

“…Based on non-ionizing low level radiation, it could activate the vitality of seed without gene mutation, so there is no genetic risk. Zivkovic [8] has demonstrated that cold air plasma pre-treatment could significantly improve the germination of Paulownia tomentosa. Carvalho [9] showed that thin films obtained by plasma polymerization could protect grains and seeds and enhance seed germination.…”

This study investigated the effect of cold helium plasma treatment on seed germination, growth and yield of wheat. The effects of different power of cold plasma on the germination of treated wheat seeds were studied. We found that the treatment of 80 W could significantly improve seed germination potential (6.0%) and germination rate (6.7%) compared to the control group. Field experiments were carried out for wheat seeds treated with 80 W cold plasma. Compared with the control, plant height (20.3%), root length (9.0%) and fresh weight (21.8%) were improved significantly at seedling stage. At booting stage, plant height, root length, fresh weight, stem diameter, leaf area and leaf thickness of the treated plant were respectively increased by 21.8%, 11.0%, 7.0%, 9.0%, 13.0% and 25.5%. At the same time, the chlorophyll content (9.8%), nitrogen (10.0%) and moisture content (10.0%) were higher than those of the control, indicating that cold plasma treatment could promote the growth of wheat. The yield of treated wheat was 7.55 t • ha −1 , 5.89% more than that of the control. Therefore, our results show that cold plasma has important application prospects for increasing wheat yield.
