Treatment of sunflower seeds by cold atmospheric plasma enhances their tolerance to water stress during germination and early seedling development
L. Taras, C. Bailly, T. Dufour
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of ambient air plasma treatment on both sunflower seed germination and early steps of seedling development under water stress. D…
Transferred plasma catheter for endotherapeutic applications: a parametric study of guided streamers dynamics
M. Soulier, T. Vacek, K. Geraud +1
Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) are increasingly used in biomedical applications due to their low temperatures and ability to generate reactive oxygen and nitr…
Positive and negative DC glow discharges: a comparative study to characterize self-organized patterns on water surface
Thierry Dufour, Elliot Ogden
Self-organized patterns (SOP) in plasma discharges arise from the complex interplay of electric field, reactive species and charged particles, driven by non-linear plasma dynamics.…
Targeting Cholangiocarcinoma Cells By Cold Piezoelectric Plasmas: In Vitro Efficacy And Cellular Mechanisms
Manon Soulier, Bouchra Lekbaby, Imane Houari +6
Cold piezoelectric plasma (CPP) is a novel approach in cancer therapy, enabling the development of portable treatment devices capable of triggering cancer cell death. While its eff…
Advancements in Maize Cultivation: Synergistic Effects of Dry Atmospheric Plasma Combined with Plasma-Activated Water
Jean-Paul Kamseu-Mogo, Manon Soulier, Georges Kamgang-Youbi +2
In this study, we investigate the effects of pre-germinative and post-germinative plasma treatments, applied separately or in combination, to improve maize germination and early se…
Treatment of seeds by cold ambient air plasma: Combining impedance measurements with water sorption modeling to understand the impact of seed hydration
Jonas August, Christophe Bailly, Thierry Dufour
In this article, we focus on the plasma seed interaction and more specifically-on the feedback exerted by the seeds on the plasma properties. Dormant Arabidopsis seeds with differe…
