AB  - Seed germination and early seedling growth are the most sensitive growth stages for plants, especially
crops, to a wide range of environmental stressors. Many efforts have been made to enhance seed
germination and seedling vigor by applying various methods. As an alternative to chemical treatments, plasma technology could be one of the emerging technologies to enhance seed germination.
“Plasma Agriculture” potentially offers increased production with less impact on ecosystem, giving rise
to various beneficial effects such as inactivation of seed/plant-borne pathogens, enhancement and
increased crop yields, and maintained good food quality. This presentation will attempt to review the
effect of non-thermal plasma (NTP) and plasma activated water (PAW) on seeds and emphasis will be
given to the change in the physical and biochemical properties of seeds. In treatments where seeds
are in direct contact with plasma or afterglow, the surface of seeds undergoes a variety of changes.
During the plasma treatment, depending on the plasma conditions, the surface is activated so other
functional groups can be attached (−COOH, −COH, −COO, −NH2, −OH, −NO, etc.) leading
to the changes on seeds’ surface. Similarly, PAW contains large amounts of chemically active species
produced in plasma and at the plasma-liquid interface which can be transferred from the interface
volume to the liquid bulk and are able to trigger desired responses in biological samples i.e. increase
of germination percentage, decontamination of both seeds and plants and faster growth. Further, we
will discuss the change in biochemical analysis, e.g., the variation in phytochemicals and antioxidant
levels of seeds after plasma treatment with the aim to clarify the key mechanisms underlying plasmaagricultural applications in order to better understand, control, and scale up these new processes.

AB  - Recent scientific, technological and methodological advances in the fields of plasma physics and plant
physiology offer a wide range of possibilities for employment of plasma technology in treatment of
plants. Application of PAW or direct plasma treatment represent an alternative and valuable approach
to plant biotechnology being chemically-free, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly. However,
the distinct mechanisms responsible for the positive effects of plasma treatment on plant cells are
still vague. Plant calli cultures (calli grown aseptically on semisolid agar medium) and calli suspension
cultures (calli grown aseptically in liquid medium in test tubes, shake flasks, or bioreactors) with or
without addition of plant growth regulators are used to illustrate changes in physiological response of
plant cells/tissues induced by plasma treatment. Key challenges and obstacles to achieve precise and
localized in vivo treatments of living cells and tissues will be discussed in light of current knowledge in
the field.
