Outside Front Cover: High pressure air plasma treatments of barley seeds at mild conditions modify the surface chemistry with the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as well the induction of ions migration. Although barley surface becomes hydrophilic, no significant increase of the water uptake and topographical changes are promoted. Nevertheless, the plasma treatment affects the retardant...
Acceleration in germination time by 12–24 h for barley seeds treated with atmospheric air plasmas may have a significant economic impact on malting processes. In this study, the increase in germination rate and decrease in contamination level upon plasma treatment could not be directly correlated with any significant increase in the water uptake capacity, except for seeds exposed to mild drying treatment...
