Seed dormancy revisited: Dormancy-release pathways and environmental interactions

Byron B. B. Lamont et al.

Summary: Internal and environmental factors control seed dormancy and germination through three basic dormancy-release pathways: maternal structures and embryo physiology, imposed-dormancy release, and release from inherent dormancy by light/dark or cold stratification. On-plant seed storage and frugivorous seeds are recognized as special types of physical dormancy. Warm stratification and heat can promote germination. Levels of germination determine the net effect of inherent- and imposed-dormancy release, while seasonal fluctuations can lead to secondary dormancy.

Summary: It has been found that treating dormant seeds extracted from unstored fresh fruits with low temperature and specific methods can effectively break seed dormancy and promote seed germination percentage and consistency. The recommended treatments are stratification with potassium nitrate or smoke-water, which can increase the germination rate of the seeds to 87%.

Oxygen, a key signalling factor in the control of seed germination and dormancy

Francoise Corbineau

Summary: Oxygen is a crucial factor for seed germination as it enables respiration and metabolism reactivation, resulting in the production of reducing power and ATP. The requirement for oxygen varies depending on the species and is influenced by environmental factors. The covering structures inhibit germination by limiting oxygen supply to the embryo during imbibition. Recent studies using oxygen-sensitive microsensors have provided insights into the oxygen diffusion in seeds and its content within the embryo.

Effects of Nonthermal Plasma (NTP) on the Growth and Quality of Baby Leaf Lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. acephala Alef.) Cultivated in an Indoor Hydroponic Growing System

Giulia Carmassi et al.

Summary: This research aimed to develop an effective protocol for applying nonthermal plasma (NTP) technology to hydroponic nutrient solutions and investigate its effects on the growth and quality of indoor home-grown baby leaf lettuce. The results showed that treating the nutrient solution with NTP improved the production and quality of hydroponically grown lettuce by increasing leaf biomass and enhancing the content of chlorophylls, carotenoids, phenols, and antioxidant capacity.

Generation of reactive species by naturally sucked air in the Ar plasma jet

Bishwa Chandra Adhikari et al.

Summary: In this study, an Ar plasma jet was used to enhance reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) by mixing atmospheric air with the working gas, resulting in increased production of OH radicals, singlet oxygen, and N-2 second positive system (SPS) in the gas phase. The concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and nitrite (NO2-) were also found to be higher in the air-mixed Ar plasma compared to pure Ar plasma. Utilizing naturally sucked atmospheric air through a drilled hole can enhance RONS at similar power consumption compared to pure Ar plasma, which could be beneficial for commercializing non-thermal plasma jets in biomedical and other applications.

Effect of plasma treatment on the surface properties of polylactic acid films

Veronica Luque-Agudo et al.

Summary: Plasma treatment is commonly used to modify the surface properties of polymeric materials, but the effects may not be long-lasting. A study on PLA films deposited on titanium showed that argon plasma treatment led to more significant chemical changes, with increased polymer chain fragmentation and crosslinking, resulting in a more hydrophilic surface.

Impact of non-thermal plasma treatment on the seed germination and seedling development of carrot (Daucus carota sativus L.)

Rajesh Prakash Guragain et al.

Summary: Seed germination is a complex physiological process where water absorption and radicle emergence are crucial stages. The kinetics of water uptake by seeds is influenced by seed surface properties and the surrounding environment, making altering seed surface features a valuable strategy for controlling germination. Non-thermal plasma surface activation shows promise as an efficient pre-sowing treatment for modifying seed germination.

Development of a Multihole Atmospheric Plasma Jet for Growth Rate Enhancement of Broccoli Seeds

Khattiya Srakaew et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a multihole atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) device to increase plasma area for continuous seed treatment. For broccoli seed treatment, the plasma power, discharge frequency, and argon flow rate were set at 412 W, 76 kHz, and 4.2 lpm respectively. The contact angle on the seed surface decreased with increasing treatment time, resulting in a smoother surface morphology. Although no significant difference was observed in bulk characteristics, plasma treatment did lead to delicate changes in the top thin layer of the seed surface, ultimately leading to improved germination and yield after seven days of cultivation.

Wettability Increase in Plasma-Treated Agricultural Seeds and Its Relation to Germination Improvement

Matej Holc et al.

Summary: The literature review suggests that plasma treatment can effectively improve seed wettability and promote germination, with the optimal power density being 1 W cm(-3). Increased treatment time enhances wettability and germination, but saturation occurs at a certain level. Various parameters such as discharge type, power density, treatment time, and seed type play roles in influencing wettability and germination, rather than being decisive factors.
