An In Situ FTIR Study of DBD Plasma Parameters for Accelerated Germination of <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> Seeds
Current agricultural practices are not sustainable; however, the non-thermal plasma treatment of seeds may be an eco-friendly alternative to alter macroscopic plant growth parameters. Despite numerous successful results of plasma-seed treatments reported in the literature, the plasma-treatment param...
