Direct Volume DBD Plasma Treatment of Barley Seeds (Hordeum vulgare): Impact of Surface Functionalization on Germination and Root Development

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate how cold atmospheric plasma treatment affects germination and root development in barley seeds.
• Direct volume cold atmospheric plasma treatment applied to barley seeds.
• Assessment of germination rates and root growth after treatment.
• Significant enhancement in germination rates observed post-treatment (exact % not provided).
• Increased root length noted in treated seeds compared to controls (exact measurements not provided).
