Abstract

Pesticides have been an integral part of modern agriculture as their use ensures good harvests. However, excessive use of pesticides in the last few decades has caused significant environmental degradation. Moreover, excessive use of pesticides causes stress on crops and non-target plants and exhibits toxicity to other organisms including mammals, microbes, and insects. Plants employ various morphological, physiological, and biochemical mechanisms to reduce pesticides toxicity. One such mechanism is production of secondary metabolites that improves stress tolerance of plants. In addition, recent studies have also highlighted a potential role of plasma technology in mitigating various abiotic and biotic environmental stresses. Besides, plasma treatment improves seed germination, physiological processes, and seedling establishment during the early growth stages of a plant under adverse and non-adverse conditions and thus can be used an alternate to the pesticide treatment. This review article summarizes recent advancements in understanding the synthesis, accumulation, and transportation of secondary metabolites which have significant relevance to crop improvement programs. We also present an overview of the effects of plasma treatment on phytopathogenic bacterial cell suspensions and plant responses to metabolic activity. In the future, researchers need to develop innovative ideas to reduce the use of chemical pesticides in farming practices.

增强作物健康和可持续性:探索次级代谢物和非热等离子体处理作为杀虫剂替代品的潜力
农药是现代农业不可或缺的一部分,因为使用农药可以确保农业丰收。然而,在过去几十年中,农药的过度使用已造成严重的环境退化。此外,过量使用农药会对农作物和非目标植物造成压力,并对其他生物(包括哺乳动物、微生物和昆虫)产生毒性。植物利用各种形态、生理和生化机制来降低杀虫剂的毒性。其中一种机制是产生次生代谢物,提高植物的抗逆性。此外,最近的研究还强调了等离子体技术在减轻各种非生物和生物环境压力方面的潜在作用。此外,在不利和非不利条件下,等离子体处理可改善植物早期生长阶段的种子发芽、生理过程和幼苗生长,因此可作为农药处理的替代品。这篇综述文章总结了最近在了解次生代谢物的合成、积累和运输方面取得的进展,这些进展与作物改良计划有着重要的关系。我们还概述了等离子体处理对植物病原菌细胞悬浮液的影响以及植物对代谢活动的反应。未来,研究人员需要开发创新理念,减少化学农药在农业实践中的使用。
