Article Synopsis
- * Mice were fed rice from both types of seeds for 4 weeks to see how it affected their health, but researchers found no negative effects on their organ weights or overall health.
- * The results show that there are no harmful effects on the rice or on health when eating rice grown from plasma-irradiated seeds, even though the treated rice grew better.
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 NO is introduced in lettuce seeds as RONS upon irradiation with atmospheric-pressure air dielectric barrier discharge plasma.

They are Volmer-Weber (VW: island formation) mode and Stranski-Krastanov (SK: layer-plus-island) mode. Since both growth modes end up in the formation of three-dimensional (3D) islands, fabrication of single crystalline films on lattice-mismatched substrates has been challenging.
