“…The presented study gives a detailed characterization of a recently developed electrode system based on the pin-hole discharge configuration that was recently patented in the Czech Republic [31]. Its construction is based on our long term experience with pin-hole discharges generated in various liquids and solutions [12,27,[32][33][34][35][36] and the operating conditions are described in our previous work [37]. The current paper focuses on the discharge breakdown phenomena and operational regimes.…”

A recently presented novel plasma source generating discharge in liquids based on the pin-hole discharge configuration is characterized in detail. The system is supplied by DC non-pulsing high voltage of both polarities in NaCl water solutions at a conductivity range of 100-15 000 μS/cm. The discharge itself shows self-pulsing operation. The discharge ignition is observed in micro bubbles by transient discharge followed by a glow discharge in positive polarity at lower conductivities propagating inside the bubbles. At high conductivities, the glow regime is particularly replaced by a more energetic sequence of transient discharges followed by a shorter glow mode operation. The transient regime probability and its intensity are higher in the negative discharge polarity. The transient discharge produces acoustic waves and shock waves, which are observed at the moment of the bubble cavitation. The average gas temperature of 700-1500 K was calculated from the lowest OH (A-X) 0-0 band transitions. The average electron concentrations of 10 20 -10 23 m −3 were calculated from H α and H β line profiles. Finally, the production of a chemically active species is determined by hydrogen peroxide energy yields related to the energy consumption of the whole interelectrode system. All these quantities are dependent on the solution conductivity, the discharge polarity, and the applied power.

Recently, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is under investigation for possibility to be applied for inactivation of pathogens in medicine, food technologies, water cleaning technologies and agriculture. The aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of CAP on microplants, propagated in vitro from plum tree (Prunus domestica L., cv. 'Kyustendilska sinya') naturally co-infected by M and D strains of Plum pox virus (PPV) and in that respect the possibility for CAP application for virus inactivation. In the present work, we have used two types of plasma sources for biological systems treatments: a surface-wave-sustained Argon plasma torch and an underwater diaphragm discharge. These enabled several variants of plasma treatment to be performed. Based on the data of IC-RT-PCR tests of the microplants on the third subculture after treatment, it was found the most effective variant was the reiterated plasma torch tip treatment to nodal segments without leaves in gas medium. The strain specific RT-PCR analysis results of PPV positive CAP-treated microplants showed that only PPV-M strain was identified after treatment, although the starting material was co-infected by both strains. The results obtained from IC-RT-PCR and strain specific RT-PCR of the acclimatized ex vitro plants have been in agreement with the data from molecular analyses of the microplants tested. These are the first experiments on CAP ability for inactivation of PPV from tissue of living woody plants even if in in vitro conditions. The completed estimation of this approach for obtaining of PPV-free plum plants will be made after more prolonged observation and testing of the ex vitro plants.
