In barley and rice, plasma treatment improved seedling vigor and stress tolerance by promoting better water uptake and activating antioxidant responses.
“Similar results have been observed in other crops, such as barley and rice, where plasma treatment has improved seedling vigor and stress tolerance by promoting better water uptake and activating antioxidant responses41,42.”
From Cold plasma technology as a pre-treatment for seed priming enhances germination and reduces salinity stress in Prosopis Koelziana (2025) · cites this paper as [41]
Section 3.8 reports improved barley seedling growth after two plasma treatments. Section 3.3, however, finds no significant increase in water uptake with the effective dry-seed treatment, while treatment of soaked seeds reduced water uptake and inhibited germination. The paper does not report improved stress tolerance or activated antioxidant responses in barley, and it provides no corresponding seedling findings for rice. (LLM, conf=0.89)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
