Title

Impact of cold plasma irradiation on the germination indices in green gram (Vigna radiata) under water stress

Abstract

Abstract : The impact of cold plasma treatment on the germination characteristics in green gram under drought stress induced by Poly ethylene glycol PEG-6000 (10% w/v) was investigated. The samples were treated with inductively coupled radiofrequency (RF) plasma of 13.56 MHz. at different power levels of plasma discharge 30W, 50W and 70W for different time intervals by varying the feed gas O2 and N2. The plasma treated seed samples were subjected to germination assay under water stress simulated by 10% PEG. In the germination assay, it was observed that the germination potential, germination rate, germination index in water stressed sample was reduced by 16.66 %, 13.34 %, 15.93 % respectively when compared with water unstressed control whereas cold plasma treatments significantly increased the germination potential by 20%, germination rate by 16.67% germination index by 23.16 % when compared to water stressed control. The vigour index was maximum (763.56) for N2 plasma at 50 W for 10 minute exposure. Effect of cold plasma was more intense on root growth than shoot growth under water stress. Cold plasma treatment could be used in an ameliorative way to improve germination and protect seedlings against damage caused by drought stress.
