Abstract

Cold atmospheric or low pressure plasma has activation effects on seed germination, plant growth and development, and plant sustainability, and prior experimental studies showing these effects are summarized in this review. The accumulated data indicate that the reactive species generated by cold plasma at atmospheric or low pressure may be involved in changing and activating the physical and chemical properties, physiology, and biochemical and molecular processes in plants, which enhances germination, growth, and sustainability. Although laboratory and field experiments are still required, plasma may represent a tool for efficient adaptation to changes in the climate and agricultural environments.

Highlights

  • Agriculture faces many problems due to continuous global population growth, environmental pollution, lack of agricultural land, and climate change

  • Gas-phase plasma maintained the levels of phenolic compounds and hydroxycinnamic acids and reduced the anthocyanin content (23%), suggesting that anthocyanin is susceptible to the reactive oxygen species produced by cold atmospheric pressure plasma in juice [114]

  • The effects of cold atmospheric or low pressure plasma on plant growth, development, and sustainability have been verified by abundant experimental data

Summary

Introduction

Agriculture faces many problems due to continuous global population growth, environmental pollution, lack of agricultural land, and climate change. Cold atmospheric or low pressure plasma is a potential to increaseapplications crop plant vitality and production, investigated observedtool in agricultural [6]. Cold atmospheric orand low several pressurestudies plasmahave is a potential tool plasma-induced improvements seed germination, plant growth reproduction, and plant to increase crop plant vitality andtoproduction, and several studies haveand investigated plasma-induced sustainability. We are unable to review all the published work in this review, we summarize the agriculture-based studies of cold atmospheric or low pressure plasma. These phytohormones synthesized the seeds in response to physicalin factors, and they activate the physical and they activate thepromote signaling and enzymes that promote the degradation signalingfactors, cascades and enzymes that thecascades degradation of seed reserves and initiate germination.
