Abstract:
Radio frequency capacitors can be used to accelerate seed imbibition, germination, increase the growth of plants seedlings, poration and corrugation of the bio-tissue surfaces without the side effects of RONS generated by cold plasma jets. Atomic force microscope data show that the plasma lamp produced morphological changes in the seed coat. Magnetic resonance imaging studies showed the acceleration of water uptake in seeds treated with radio frequency capacitors of plasma lamps. Plasma capacitor can accelerate radicle growing rates.
