20.500.12556/RUL-134821 Effects of nonthermal plasma on morphology, genetics and physiology of seeds a review Nonthermal plasma (NTP), or cold plasma, has shown many advantages in the agriculture sector as it enables removal of pesticides and contaminants from the seed surface, increases shelf life of crops, improves germination and resistance to abiotic stress. Recent studies show that plasma treatment indeed offers unique and environmentally friendly processing of different seeds, such as wheat, beans, corn, soybeans, barley, peanuts, rice and Arabidopsis thaliana, which could reduce the use of agricultural chemicals and has a high potential in ecological farming. This review covers the main concepts and underlying principles of plasma treatment techniques and their interaction with seeds. Different plasma generation methods and setups are presented and the influence of plasma treatment on DNA damage, gene expression, enzymatic activity, morphological and chemical changes, germination and resistance to stress, is explained. Important plasma treatment parameters and interactions of plasma species with the seed surface are presented and critically discussed in correlation with recent advances in this field. Although plasma agriculture is a relatively new field of research, and the complex mechanisms of interactions are not fully understood, it holds great promise for the future. This overview aims to present the advantages and limitations of different nonthermal plasma setups and discuss their possible future applications. cold plasma seeds seed priming plants germination yield gene expression (de)methylation growth ROS phytohormones MDA antioxidant enzymes true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2022-02-03 11:47:01 2022-02-03 11:47:02 2023-03-21 09:07:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 18 str. iss. 12, art. 1736 Vol. 9 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 533 2223-7747 10.3390/plants9121736 41748739 RAZ_Staric_Pia_2020.pdf RAZ_Staric_Pia_2020.pdf 1 AC02D253AA75F79A56FAA7B88B650213 ed361ce4054aea73afab52b345e9736c749698874a3cd914297f68b7b907a230 bfa8fd46-84de-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=153489 https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/9/12/1736 0 80a2c622-84de-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=153488 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
