“…The lower the active resistance (the real part of the impedance), the better the graft union formed. As shown by previous studies on pear and cherry trees [ 31 , 55 ], lower values of the active part of the impedance correlated with a higher rate of plant biomass gain during the first 6 months of development. As can be seen from Figure 13 , this result was also reproduced for apple samples.…”

“…EIS is an alternative technology to existing methods that is already showing promising results in the agro-food industry [ 37 , 38 ], where it is used for a wide range of applications, such as the assessment of injury healing in fruit plants [ 31 ], grading and quality control of vegetables [ 39 , 40 , 41 ], fruit [ 42 , 43 ], meat [ 44 ], fish [ 45 , 46 ], and honey [ 47 ], as well as for pesticide detection [ 48 ] and the valorization of agro-food waste [ 49 ]. A relationship has also been established between the electrical behavior of biological tissue and changes in its properties due to freezing [ 50 ] or drying [ 40 ].…”

Electric impedance spectroscopy is an alternative technology to existing methods that shows promising results in the agro-food industry and plant physiology research. For example, this technology makes it possible to monitor the condition of plants, even in the early stages of development, and to control the quality of finished products. However, the use of electric impedance spectroscopy is often associated with the need to organize special laboratory conditions for measurements. Our aim is to extract information about the state of health of the internal tissues of a plant’s branches from impedance measurements. Therefore, we propose a new technique using the device and model developed by us that makes it possible to monitor the condition of tree branch tissues in situ. An apple tree was chosen as the object under study, and the dependence of the impedance of the apple tree branch on the signal frequency and branch length was analyzed. The change in the impedance of an apple tree branch during drying was also analyzed. It was shown that, when a branch dries out, the conductivity of the xylem mainly decreases. The developed technique was also applied to determine the development of the vascular system of an apple tree after grafting. It was shown that the processing of the scion and rootstock sections with the help of cold atmospheric plasma and a plasma-treated solution contributes to a better formation of graft unions.

“…Genetic background, working solution concentrations, handling, and other factors can also influence the responses of plants. For instance, in our previous research we observed an increase of survival rate of cherry and pear graftings with PAW up to 11% compared to non-treated PAW grafts [ 51 ].…”

The application of plasma-activated water (PAW) in agriculture has gained the attention of researchers and practitioners. In particular, treatment with PAW is a promising method for increasing scion and rootstock survival as well as augmenting the mineral nutrition applicable to tree fruit crops. However, the applications of PAW are hampered by the lack of information about the effects of PAW on apple tree condition and yield. The increase in survival rate by PAW is believed to stem from the general stimulation of physiological processes in the plant tissue. To assess the actual effect of the PAW treatments, one needs to consider an important indicator of young tree quality such as their vegetative growth. We conducted field experiments to study the possibility of use of PAW for increase in primary nutrient contents in fruits and leaves in an orchard, as well as to assess the scion survival rate and vegetative growth of young grafts in a nursery. The application of PAW influenced the fruitset, yield, leaf nitrogen (N) and potassium (K), fruit phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca) ascorbic acid (AA) and titratable acidity (TA). Treatment with PAW did not significantly reduce the negative impact of the rootstock thickness on the survival rate of bench grafts and their subsequent development. At the same time, scion survival tended to increase in the case when the scions and the rootstocks were of compatible thickness. Further studies of the PAW treatment effects are needed to better understand its applicability in diverse fields of horticulture.

“…Cold plasma has already proved its effectiveness in the destruction of cancer cells in vitro [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ] and in vivo [ 2 , 4 ]. In parallel with the direct effect of cold plasma on biological objects, the properties of solutions treated with such plasma and their possible impact on biological objects are currently being investigated by various authors [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. The use of such plasma-treated solutions in oncology is of the greatest interest since, in most cases, cancer cells are not readily accessible for direct cold plasma treatment without surgical interventions.…”

The anti-cancer properties of plasma-treated solutions (PTS) and their interaction with drugs are one of the most popular topics in modern plasma medicine. Our research involved comparing the effects of four physiological saline solutions (0.9% NaCl, Ringer’s solution, Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution, Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution with amino acids added in concentrations observed in the human blood) treated with cold atmospheric plasma and studying the combined cytotoxic effect of PTS with doxorubicin and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). Analysis of the effect of the studied agents on the formation of radicals in the incubation medium, the vitality of K562 myeloid leukaemia cells, and the processes of autophagy and apoptosis in them revealed two key findings. The first is that when using PTS and doxorubicin-containing PTS, autophagy is the predominant process in cancer cells. The second is that combining PTS with MPA enhances apoptotic processes. It was hypothesised that while autophagy is stimulated by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the cell, apoptosis is stimulated through specific cell progesterone receptors.
