From: Extending shelf life: cold plasma as a tool to preserve long-term germination potential of pea seeds
Monitoring of DNA damage of plasma-treated pea seeds at the optimized exposure times during 6 months of storage. DNA damage (analyzed by comet assay) of (a) well germinating and (b) poor germinating pea seeds after plasma treatment (plasma exposure time 30 s for seeds with 90% germination, and 15 s for seeds with 50% germination). Variants: REF (C) – nontreated reference seeds stored at 4 °C; DCSBD 15/30s, 0w (C) to 5w (C) – seeds treated with DCSBD.
