Cold Radiofrequency Plasma Treatment Modifies Wettability and Germination Speed of Plant Seeds
We report the possibility to modify the wetting properties of the surfaces of a diversity of seeds including: lentils (Lens culinaris), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and wheat (Triticum, species C9) by cold radiofrequency air plasma treatment. Air plasma treatment leads to the dramatic decrease in the apparent contact angle. Moreover, the speed of germination and yield (germination rate) of seeds ...
متن کاملInteraction of cold radiofrequency plasma with seeds of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)
The impact of cold radiofrequency air plasma on the wetting properties and water imbibition of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) was studied. The influence of plasma on wetting of a cotyledon and seed coat (testa) was elucidated. It was established that cold plasma treatment leads to hydrophilization of the cotyledon and tissues constituting the testa when they are separately exposed to plasma. By con...

length of buds and roots, and with the increase in weight of the gerrninating seeds. By regression analysis, the heat produced peT unit of bud and root growth was found to be ai = O.572S J/mm ef bud and a2 = O.7093 Jlmm of root. respectively, with a correlation coefficient of O,9577, From these results we conclude that the calorimetric deterrnination of the heat generated during geTmination is ...
متن کاملDynamic Adhesive Wettability of Poplar Veneer with Cold Oxygen Plasma Treatment
Effects of cold oxygen plasma treatment on activating the surface of poplar veneers and improving its wettability were investigated. The veneers were treated with cold oxygen plasma for 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 min, and aged in air for 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. The dynamic adhesive wettability of veneers was assessed using the contact angle, K-value analysis, and surface free energy. The shear str...
