| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Experimental studies on photosensitivity of crop seeds subjected to non-equilibrium plasma produced by polarity reversed voltage pulses in ns range are carried out. Dielectric barrier discharge repeatedly propagates along the surface of the seeds on a glass barrier between plane-plane electrodes. Regardless of the discharge treatment time, most part of the seeds starts to root within 4 days and then germinate within 1 week in dark-room condition. On the other hand, the seeds without discharge treatment have a lower ability for germination in irradiating condition because tomato is a heliophilous plant. However, the germination ratio of the seeds in irradiating condition increases with increasing the discharge treatment time. This interesting phenomenon implies that loss of sciophilous characteristics due to molecular structure change of photoreceptor in the seed coat is caused by the repetitive barrier discharges.
