    Nonthermal atmospheric-pressure discharge plasma is considered important for sterilization. Reactive species, such as active oxygen species, radicals, and nitrate ions, generated by the discharge plasma damage the target bacterial cell wall/membrane and DNA. Several plasma sterilization methods have been proposed, including dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). To achieve effective sterilization, it is necessary to evaluate their characteristics using many parameters. This letter aims to demonstrate a proof-of-concept of a novel biological indicator for plasma sterilization. A biological indicator is used to verify sterilization outcomes. We employ DNA-labeled microbeads as biological indicators for the rapid visualization of plasma sterilization. This is based on our recently developed method for visual detection of DNA molecules. If plasma-derived factors cause the degradation of the DNA attached to the microbeads, this can be confirmed by visualization. Herein, we present the correlation between sterilization and visualization in the case of DBD. This method offers a rapid evaluation of plasma sterilization because it easily and quickly determines the sterilization capability of the plasma.

    Electroporation, the transient permeabilization of cell membranes induced by electric fields, is an essential technique in biomedicine, facilitating gene delivery, drug transport, and cancer therapy. Despite its wide application, the influence of nitration, a biological modification involving the addition of nitro groups to phospholipids, on electroporation dynamics remains understudied. Here, we employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the impact of nitration on pore formation during electroporation. By systematically varying nitration levels and electric field strengths, we explore the nuanced interplay between nitration and electroporation kinetics. Our simulations reveal that increasing nitration levels significantly accelerate pore formation, with notable reductions in pore formation times observed at higher nitration percentages and stronger electric fields. This phenomenon underscores the modulatory role of nitration in altering the dynamics of electroporation. Additionally, our study sheds light on the intricate mechanisms underlying this process, providing essential insights for optimizing electroporation protocols in gene therapy, drug delivery, plasma cancer treatment and related biomedical applications. These findings illuminate the synergistic relationship between nitration and electroporation, paving the way for future advancements in this vital field.

    This study reports the response of lettuce seeds undergoing dormancy breaking and early senescence to DBD plasma irradiation. A heat map of germination percentages at 12 h reveals that dormancy has broken at 39 days' storage, and that one minute of plasma irradiation enhances germination in dormant seeds. Plasma irradiation does not affect those seeds where dormancy has already broken. Early senescence via storage was estimated using ESR measurements and the molecular modification of quercetin. This study reveals that lettuce seed susceptibility to plasma irradiation depends on storage duration and conditions, with dormancy state as a critical variable modulating the impact of plasma irradiation.

    Colossal research on CO2 and N2 conversion using non-thermal plasma (NTP) technology has been ongoing since many years. The primary focus is on CO and NH3 production through CO2 and N2 conversion, respectively, with high conversion efficiency and low energy consumption with or without catalysts. Although in the present study, we propose that the NTP can assist in converting CO2 and N2 to plant nutrients in the form of plasma-treated/activated water. We used a homemade streamer plasma device and produced plasma-activated water (PAW) using CO2 and N2 feed gas, CO2-activated water (CAW) and N2-activated water (NAW). Later, we used CAW and NAW to treat the radish seeds and evaluate the germination rate, germination percentage, and seeding growth. To understand the chemical changes in PAW after the NTP treatment, we performed a chemical analysis to detect NO2¯, NO3¯, NH4+, and H2O2 along with the PAW pH and temperature shift. Additionally, to understand the other species produced in the gas phase, we simulated chemical reactions using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Our results show that NOx and NHx species are less produced in CAW than in NAW, but CO2-generated PAW offers a significantly more substantial effect on enhancing the germination rate and seeding growth than NAW. Therefore, we suggested that CO and H2O2 formed during CAW production trigger early germination and growth enhancement. Furthermore, the total plasma reactor energy consumption, NO3¯ and NH4+ selective production percentage, and N2 conversion percentage were calculated. To our best knowledge, this is the first study that uses plasma-assisted CO2 conversion as a nutrient for plant growth.

    Seed treatment with non-thermal plasma has seen a tremendous increase in both direct and indirect applications recently. In this review, we examined the effects of direct plasma irradiation, plasma-activated water (PAW), plasma-activated Ringer’s lactate solution, and plasma-treated soil on seeds, resulting in positive, negative, and neutral changes. Furthermore, we will compare the impact of pressure and feed gases on seed germination and seedling growth. Addition-ally, we focused on the types of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and their concentrations produced in the gas and liquid phases, as these play a crucial role in germination percentage and seedling growth. In conclusion, we find that plasma agriculture’s success is contingent on seed morphology, the types and concentrations of reactive species, and specific plasma characteristics.

    Abstract

    Discharge plasma irradiates seeds with reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). However, RONS introduced in seeds by plasma irradiation have not been successfully detected thus far. This study provides experimental evidence that nitrate ion NO3 is introduced in lettuce seeds as RONS upon irradiation with atmospheric-pressure air dielectric barrier discharge plasma. Plasma irradiation for 5 min promotes seed germination. The components of the plasma-irradiated seeds were examined using electrospray ionization quantum mass spectrometry (ESI QMS), which revealed that the plasma irradiation introduced an ion with a mass of 62 m/z in detectable amounts. This ion was identified as NO3 by liquid chromatography (LC), multiple wavelength detector (MWD), and LC-ESI QMS. A one-dimensional simulation at electron temperature Te = 1 eV, electron density Ne = 1013/m3, and gas temperature Tg = 300 K indicated the introduction of NO3, involving nitric oxide NO. NO3 is one of the most important ions that trigger signal transduction for germination when introduced in seeds. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that there was no change on the surface of the seeds after plasma irradiation. Plasma irradiation is an effective method of introducing NO3 in seeds in a dry process without causing damage.

    <jats:p>The development of platinum-free counter electrodes (CEs) is significant in the development of cost-effective dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this study, Pt-free, low-cost carbon black-titanium nitrate (CB-TiN) nanocomposite counter electrodes CEs were prepared via simple heating and cooling process for application in DSSCs. Different weight concentrations of CB-TiN (15-200 mg) were uniformly blended with PEDOT:PSS at 350 rpm and 150°C for 10 mins. Thereafter, the solution mixtures were immediately cooled at 4°C overnight to produce PEDOT:PSS/CB-TiN CEs. Further, to investigate the effects of iso-octyphenoxy-polyethoxyethanol (TX100) on the performance of the PEDOT:PSS/CB-TIN CE, various concentrations of TX100 (1-10%) were blended with PEDOT:PSS/15mgCB-TiN CE mixture at room temperature to produce PEDOT:PSS/15mgCB-TiN/TX100 CEs. The results indicated a gradual increase in electrocatalytic activity coupled with a reduction in internal resistance in the DSSCs as the weight of CB-TiN nanoparticles was enhanced. Similar results were obtained when the concentration of TX100 was increased. The DSSCs with the PEDOT:PSS/200mgCB-TiN and PEDOT:PSS/15mgCB-TiN/10%TX100 CEs exhibited optimum performances of 4.42% and 4.32%, respectively. Their performance closely matches that of the Pt CE (4.43%).</jats:p>

    The study of protein–protein interactions is of great interest. Several early studies focused on the murine double minute 2 (Mdm2)–tumor suppressor protein p53 interactions. However, the effect of plasma treatment on Mdm2 and p53 is still absent from the literature. This study investigated the structural changes in Mdm2, p53, and the Mdm2–p53 complex before and after possible plasma oxidation through molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. MD calculation revealed that the oxidized Mdm2 bounded or unbounded showed high flexibility that might increase the availability of tumor suppressor protein p53 in plasma-treated cells. This study provides insight into Mdm2 and p53 for a better understanding of plasma oncology.

    Target 1: Structural modification of NADPH oxidase activator (Noxa 1) by oxidative stress: An experimental and computational study. In this work, we demonstrate the effect of plasma effect on the structural changes of Noxa1 SH3 protein, one of the regulatory subunits of NOX1. The structural deformation of Noxa1 SH3 protein was analyzed by various experimental methods and by MD simulations. Target 2: Possible impact of plasma oxidation on the structure of C-terminal Domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein: A computational study. We checked the plasma effect on the structure of the C-terminal domain of SARS-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2-CTD) spike protein and interaction SARS-CoV-2-CTD with human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (hACE2). Target 3: In this study we investigated the structural changes in Mdm2, p53, and the Mdm2-p53 before and after possible plasma oxidation through molecular dynamic (MD) simulations.
