Abstract

Sustainable agriculture requires the exploration and development of eco-friendly technologies to increase crop production. From the last few decades, nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTAPP) based technology appears as an encouraging frontier in this quest. NTAPP with low temperature and energetic gas-phase chemistry offers potential applications to promote seed germination rate and plant growth. It initiates a cascade of biological responses at molecular levels inside the seed as well as in plants, greater nutrient uptake, elevated antioxidant activity, and pathogen control to ensure improved germination, seedling growth, plant growth, and increased harvesting. NTAPP technology has become more popular and convenient in agriculture due to its potential to produce plasma-activated water (PAW), which harnesses useful reactive species with PAW irrigation to promote plant growth. Recent advancements in NTAPP technology and its applications to promote seed germination, seedling growth, plant growth, and metabolite synthesis were summarized in this review. We delve deeper to examine the possible mechanisms that underlie the involvement of reactive species from NTAPP, surface interactions, and gene expression regulation. We also have discussed the applications of NTAPP in seed priming, pre-planting treatments, and disease control for food preservation. For sustainable agriculture, NTAPP stands out as an eco-friendly technology with the potential to revolutionize crop production of the modern age. Many researchers proved that NTAPP reduces the need for agrochemicals and presents a viable path toward sustainable agriculture. This review will provide recent progress by outlining major challenges and shaping future directions for harnessing the potential of NTAPP in agriculture.

非热等离子体在种子发芽、植物生长和次生代谢物合成方面的最新进展：可持续农业的前景广阔

可持续农业需要探索和开发生态友好型技术，以提高作物产量。在过去几十年里，基于非热大气压等离子体（NTAPP）的技术似乎是这一探索中令人鼓舞的前沿技术。NTAPP 具有低温和高能气相化学特性，在促进种子发芽率和植物生长方面具有潜在的应用价值。它能在种子内部和植物体内的分子水平上启动一连串的生物反应，提高养分吸收率，增强抗氧化活性，控制病原体，从而确保提高发芽率、幼苗生长率、植物生长率并增加收获量。NTAPP 技术具有生产等离子活化水（PAW）的潜力，可利用等离子活化水灌溉有用的活性物种来促进植物生长，因此在农业领域越来越流行和方便。本综述总结了 NTAPP 技术的最新进展及其在促进种子萌发、幼苗生长、植物生长和代谢物合成方面的应用。我们深入探讨了 NTAPP 活性物种参与、表面相互作用和基因表达调控的可能机制。我们还讨论了 NTAPP 在种子处理、播种前处理和食品保鲜疾病控制中的应用。对于可持续农业而言，NTAPP 是一种生态友好型技术，具有彻底改变现代作物生产的潜力。许多研究人员证明，NTAPP 可减少对农用化学品的需求，是实现可持续农业的可行途径。本综述将通过概述主要挑战来介绍最新进展，并为利用 NTAPP 在农业中的潜力指明未来方向。

期刊介绍： Publishing original papers on fundamental and applied research in plasma chemistry and plasma processing, the scope of this journal includes processing plasmas ranging from non-thermal plasmas to thermal plasmas, and fundamental plasma studies as well as studies of specific plasma applications. Such applications include but are not limited to plasma catalysis, environmental processing including treatment of liquids and gases, biological applications of plasmas including plasma medicine and agriculture, surface modification and deposition, powder and nanostructure synthesis, energy applications including plasma combustion and reforming, resource recovery, coupling of plasmas and electrochemistry, and plasma etching. Studies of chemical kinetics in plasmas, and the interactions of plasmas with surfaces are also solicited. It is essential that submissions include substantial consideration of the role of the plasma, for example, the relevant plasma chemistry, plasma physics or plasma–surface interactions; manuscripts that consider solely the properties of materials or substances processed using a plasma are not within the journal’s scope.
