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.
