Biomass enhancement and activation of transcriptional regulation in sorghum seedling by plasma-activated water.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Recent advancements in agricultural technology have highlighted the potential of eco-friendly innovations, such as plasma-activated water (PAW), for enhancing seed germination, growth, and biomass production.

Methods

In this study, we investigated the effects of PAW irrigation on young sorghum seedlings through phenotypic and transcriptional analyses. We measured growth parameters, including seedling height, stem thickness, and biomass, across five sorghum varieties: BTx623, Sodamchal, Noeulchal, Baremae, and Hichal. Additionally, we performed detailed analyses of stem cross-sections to evaluate the structural changes induced by PAW. Whole transcriptome analysis was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and to perform Gene Ontology (GO) ana
