20.500.12556/DKUM-91299 Response of two different wheat varieties to glow and afterglow oxygen plasma Cold plasma technology has received significant attention in agriculture due to its effect on the seeds and plants of important cultivars, such as wheat. Due to climate change, wherein increasing temperatures and droughts are frequent, it is important to consider novel approaches to agricultural production. As increased dormancy levels in wheat are correlated with high temperatures and drought, improving the germination and root growth of wheat seeds could offer new possibilities for seed sowing. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of direct (glow) and indirect (afterglow) radio-frequency (RF) oxygen plasma treatments on the germination of two winter wheat varieties: Apache and Bezostaya 1. The influence of plasma treatment on seed surface morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy, and it was observed that direct plasma treatment resulted in a high etching and nanostructuring of the seed surface. The effect of plasma treatment on germination was evaluated by measuring the germination rate, counting the number of roots and the length of the root system, and the fresh weight of seedlings. The results of this study indicate that the response of seeds to direct and indirect plasma treatment may be variety-dependent, as differences between the two wheat varieties were observed. cold plasma nonthermal plasma wheat plants afterglow plasma glow plasma SEM roots vigor germination hladna plazma netermalna plazma pšenica rastline plazma po žarenju žareča plazma korenine vitalnost kalivost true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-12-10 12:28:10 2024-12-10 12:45:03 2024-12-11 03:10:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Str. 1-12 št. 8, št. članka 1728 Letn. 10 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-07-23 2021-08-18 2021-08-20 533 73680387 10.3390/plants10081728 2223-7747 Staric-2021-Response_of_Two_Different_Wheat_Va.pdf Staric-2021-Response_of_Two_Different_Wheat_Va.pdf 1 AA8A8A2DB104CC4F6729C38D39BE60F5 40c4f574e76916bc4531465f246a4269bf08494c01e3a16b20ddab972c99c7ed 0b1e0c04-b6ec-11ef-9a40-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187235 https://doi.org/10.3390/plants10081728 0 137bd25f-b6ec-11ef-9a40-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187236 Fakulteta za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede 0 0 0
