Abstract

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) irradiation exhibits sterilizing effect without causing thermal denaturation or leaving behind residual toxicants. CAP also has potential applications in various fields, including agriculture, leading to research efforts in recent years. This study investigated the effects of CAP on the seed germination rate of spinach (Spinacia oleracea), which typically has a low seed germination rate. Our results confirmed that irradiation with N2-CAP and Air-CAP significantly enhanced the germination rate of spinach seeds. Notably, we discovered that CAP irradiation promoted germination even in spinach seeds coated with a fungicide (thiuram) and a disinfectant (Captan), which are commonly used. Additionally, we examined whether the interval between CAP irradiation and the subsequent germination-induction treatment influenced the germination efficiency. We found that the germination-promoting effect of CAP on spinach seeds persisted for at least 30 days, demonstrating the high utility and practicality of CAP in the agricultural sector.

冷大气等离子体对菠菜种子的持续发芽促进作用。

冷大气等离子体（CAP）辐照具有灭菌效果，不会导致热变性或残留毒物。CAP 在包括农业在内的各个领域都有潜在的应用前景，因此近年来的研究工作也随之展开。本研究调查了 CAP 对菠菜（Spinacia oleracea）种子萌发率的影响。我们的结果证实，用 N2-CAP 和 Air-CAP 照射能显著提高菠菜种子的萌发率。值得注意的是，我们发现即使菠菜种子涂有常用的杀真菌剂（秋兰姆）和消毒剂（Captan），CAP辐照也能促进其萌发。此外，我们还研究了 CAP 照射与随后的发芽诱导处理之间的间隔是否会影响发芽效率。我们发现，CAP 对菠菜种子的发芽促进作用可持续至少 30 天，这表明 CAP 在农业领域具有很高的实用性。
