Does cold plasma affect breaking dormancy and seed germination? A study on seeds of Lamb quarters (Chenopodium album agg.)

Abstract

LOw-pressure discharge is applied for stimulation of germination of two seed lots of Lamb Quarters (Chenopodium album agg.) with different strating germinations (17%, 8%) and in different stages of dormancy. The results suggested that plasma treatment changed seed germination in Lamb Quarters seeds.
