Description
Zhenmin He and colleagues tested cold plasma as a seed treatment for a valuable timber tree, Eucalyptus maidenii. Published in 2026, the study combined germination trials, seedling growth tests, and sapling checks to find the best treatment settings. Small seeds, weak vigor, and slow early growth currently limit nursery output for this plantation species.
Cold plasma generally lifted germination and seed vigor, improved seedling shape and photosynthesis, and kept helping through the sapling stage. Gains touched enzyme activity, water-balance compounds, chlorophyll, and oxidative stress markers. A ranking model picked one recipe, coded S14, as optimal. The work supports plasma as a clean physical seed boost, with nursery-scale trials still to come.
