“…In this study, both positive and inhibitory responses associated with the plasma priming in C. roseus are presented. In line with our findings, numerous reports are exhibiting the growth‐stimulating function of plasma priming in diverse plant species, while little evidence exists on growth‐inhibitory or delaying response following plasma application . Taking the plasma diagnostic data into account, we recently reported that the optical emission spectroscopy‐based spectrum confirmed the generation of oxygen‐ and nitrogen‐related species, as well as UV photons during the plasma generation .…”

“…Our findings highlight the plasma‐mediated changes in root development as an important mechanism that is supported by some other recent reports . Acceleration in root development in primed seedlings (especially lateral roots) is responsible for upcoming facilitated growth, regardless of the utilized priming technique . In addition to well‐characterized mechanisms such as changes in seed coat and water uptake, recent reports indicate the molecular, physiological, anatomical, and hormonal modifications in the plasma‐treated seedlings.…”

“…However, there are still many knowledge gaps in the function and commercialization of cold plasma to the pursuit of knowledge and goals in plant science and agriculture. The different benefits of plasma functions, such as stimulating seedling early performance, decontaminating seeds, promoting crop productivity, and improving plant adaptation to an unfavourable condition, have been confirmed by several previous studies. Moreover, cold (non‐thermal) plasma generation is associated with the production and accumulation of diverse active nitrogen (ANS) and oxygen (AOS) species, electrons, and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation; each is a bioactive elicitor and has its own intracellular signalling and interplay with other cellular signalling networks …”

The plasma-primed seeds of Catharanthus roseus were cultured in a hormone-free culture medium under sterile conditions. Plasma of 30 or 60 s improved root length (mean = 41.4%) and biomass (mean = 47%), whereas plasma of 90 s delayed plant growth. The plasma treatments enhanced concentrations of photosynthetic pigments and soluble phenols. Plasma of 90 s increased the proline level. With a similar trend, plasma priming induced activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, catalase (about twofold) and peroxidase (31%) enzymes. Plasma also upregulated the expressions of deacetylvindoline O-acetyltransferase gene by an average of 7.8 times. Similarly, the plasma-treated seedlings contained higher concentrations of alkaloids (mean = 72%). Here, molecular evidence is provided on the plasma-associated modifications in secondary metabolism.

BACKGROUNDIt is imperative to enhance the quality of sprouts since they are a rich source of various primary and secondary metabolites. The objective of this work was to examine how multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) priming at various concentrations affected the nutritional qualities of four horticultural plants (T. foenum‐graecum, L. grandiflorum, L. sativum and A. graveolens) and their sprouting processes.RESULTSAmong the four applied concentrations (10–60 mgL−1), MWCNTs at 10 and 40 mg L⁻¹ induced the highest biomass accumulation in L. grandiflorum and T. foenum‐graecum, respectively, while 60 mg L⁻¹ was most effective for L. sativum and A. graveolent. MWCNTs induced growth by enhancing photosynthesis, as shown by increased chlorophyll content and rubisco activity, which rose by 27%, 17%, 23% and 12% in T. foenum‐graecum, L. grandiflorum, L. sativum, and A. graveolens, respectively. Enhanced photosynthesis by MWCNTs improved sugar metabolism as indicated by increased activity of sugar metabolic enzymes such as amylase, starch synthase and invertase. This also supplied the carbon necessary for the production of primary (amino acids, fatty acids and organic acids) and secondary (flavonoids and polyphenols) metabolites. There was consistently higher activity of antioxidant enzymes (catalase and peroxidase). Interestingly, species‐specific reactions to MWCNT priming were observed, where L. sativum sprouts showed the highest antioxidant activity, followed by A. graveolens.CONCLUSIONMWCNT priming improves sprout growth and nutritional quality by boosting metabolic processes and antioxidant activity, presenting a promising approach for sustainable agriculture. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Plasma treatments are currently being assessed as a seed processing technology for agricultural purposes. There is sufficient information as a proof-of-concept, but a lack of standardization in the methodology prevents a convincing evaluation of plasma treatment on seeds. It would be helpful to coordinate research efforts to make the entry for newcomers into this interdisciplinary field less overwhelming and to aid in transferring this technology into the industry by establishing a common protocol. This review presents the parameters used in the seed preparation, the plasma treatment of the seed, and the seed posttreatment. This summary of the plasma and biological parameters is intended to raise awareness about questions that need to be addressed to properly record protocol details and reproduce results for the plasma treatment of seeds.
