Fig. 5From: Low-frequency glow discharge (LFGD) plasma treatment enhances maize (Zea mays L.) seed germination, agronomic traits, enzymatic activities, and nutritional propertiesChanges in signaling molecules and biochemical activities in maize plants subjected to plasma treatment. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration in a shoot and b root, nitric oxide (NO) concentration in c shoot and d root, total soluble protein in e shoot and f root and total soluble sugar in g shoot and h root of maize plants originated from the plasma-treated seeds. Different letters specify the significant changes within a mean ± standard deviation of treatments (n = 3) as determined by the Duncan test (p = 0.05)Back to article page
