“…After NTP treatment, the mean water uptake was 41% in the control sample and 57% in the exposed one [44]. Similar etching effect, resulting in the improvement of its water absorption capacity, was reported by Li et al [45]. Also, Rahman et al [42] stated that the surface of wheat grains was much rougher in exposed grains as compared to that of control ones.…”

“…Zahoranová et al [37] and Zhang et al [60] consistently found a significant effect of NTP treatment on the germination rate rising by 21% and 8%, respectively. e germination potential, germination rate, germination index, and vigor index increased by 27%, 9%, 17%, and 47% after 7 minutes of NTP treatment, respectively [45]. e optimal time of treatment seemed to be 4 minutes, when germination potential significantly increased to 77% and the germination rate was enhanced to 95% (in comparisons with 62% and 88% of control samples, respectively).…”

“…Zhang et al [60] found that the lengths of the wheat root and shoot were increased effectively by 8.7 cm and 3.3 cm, and the dry weight increased by approximately 10%. Li et al [45] followed the wheat seedling growth after NTP treatment of grain. ey observed that the root length, shoot length, fresh weight, and dry weight of the seedlings increased significantly after different NTP exposures; the exposure optimal for grain growth was probably 7 minutes.…”

This paper presents the review of effects of nonthermal plasma (NTP) treatment on both the wheat grains and flour with potential to be applied in practice. The NTP can be used in wheat grain surface disinfection, grain germination and vitality improving, and wheat flour modification and disinfection. NTP causes effective decontamination from bacteria and fungi together with insect pests and causes minimal damage to wheat grains; it inactivates enzymes and enhances the grain shelf life; it enhances the germination and initial state of growth resulting in the increase of final yield. Moreover, the production of qualitatively better dough is also mentioned.

“…Studies have shown that discharge plasma can increase the germination, growth and yield of various plant seeds such as pea, wheat, tomato and Andrographis paniculata [14][15][16][17], it can improve the hydrophilicity of the surface of soybean seeds, thereby increasing the germination speed of seeds [18], it etches the wheat seed coat, which leads to an increase in water absorption capacity [19], it can reduce the apparent contact angle of Erythrina velutina (mulungu) seeds and change the hydrophilicity of seeds [20]. The interaction between HVEF and an organism is very complex, in order to explore the role and contribution rate of the two factors in HVEF, when naked oat seeds were treated, one group was exposed directly, the other group was covered with a petri dish cover (blocking the influence of ion wind, the result can be approximated by the electric field single factor effect).…”

In order to study the mechanism of high-voltage electric field (HVEF) biotechnology, corona discharge produced by a multi-needle-plate HVEF was used to treat naked oat seeds, each treatment dose was divided into two groups, one group was covered with a petri dish cover, the other group was directly exposed to HVEF without a petri dish cover. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) results show that the etching degree of the uncovered group was more serious than that of the covered group, it indicates that ion wind etching has a greater impact on the micro-morphology of seed coat, being covered can effectively reduce the etching degree of discharge plasma on seed. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of the seed coat shows most of the HVEF treatment group can form a new absorption peak at 1740 cm−1, which is closely related to the hydrophilicity of the seed. Comprehensive analysis shows that HVEF treatment can improve the hydrophilicity of seeds, whether they are covered or not. Being covered can reduce the degree of etching of the seed coat, but increase the hydrophilicity of the seed, indicating that the non-uniform electric field has a greater impact on the hydrophilicity of the seed. Our study showed that ion wind had an effect on the micro-morphology of seeds, but this effect didn’t translate into a macroscopic effect. This study provides ideas and experimental data support for the study of the biotechnological mechanism of HVEF.

“…Recently, studies show that cold atmospheric plasma systems could promote seed germination and growth [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Increment seed germination rate, growth development, and crop yield by plasma treatment have been reported in various crops: spinach [16], wheat [8,13], soybean [9], and radish [17]. Cold atmospheric plasma systems consist of positively and negatively charged particles (free electrons and ions), and neutral activated species including excited molecules, UV photons, long and short lived free radicals, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and some ozone [18].…”

Recently, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) with the unique bio-disinfection features is used in various fields of industry, medicine, and agriculture. The main objectives of this work were to design FSG plasma (a semi-automatic device) and investigate the effect of the cold plasma in the enhancement of the Pea and Zucchini seed germination. Plasma irradiation time was studied to obtain a proper condition for the germination enhancement of seeds. The growth rate was calculated by measuring length of root and stem and dry weight of plants treated by plasma. To investigate drought resistance of plants, all treated and untreated samples were kept in darkness without water for 48 h. From the experimental results, it could be confirmed both drought resistance and germination of seedlings increased after plasma was applied to seeds at 30 s, while seeds treated whiten 60 s showed a decrease in both germination rate and seedling growth.
