Abstract
This study reports the response of lettuce seeds undergoing dormancy breaking and early senescence to DBD plasma irradiation. A heat map of germination percentages at 12 h reveals that dormancy has broken at 39 days' storage, and that one minute of plasma irradiation enhances germination in dormant seeds. Plasma irradiation does not affect those seeds where dormancy has already broken. Early senescence via storage was estimated using ESR measurements and the molecular modification of quercetin. This study reveals that lettuce seed susceptibility to plasma irradiation depends on storage duration and conditions, with dormancy state as a critical variable modulating the impact of plasma irradiation.
