| Abstract | ||
| The cultivation of medicinal plants has faced significant challenges including seed dormancy, low germination rates, and the need for pre-treatments. Cold plasma technology has emerged as a promising solution to these issues in recent years. It has been successfully used for seed priming of various medicinal plants, and its effects on the morpho-physiological, metabolic, and molecular mechanisms of resulting seedlings have been extensively explored. In this review, we will discuss the use of plasma in seed priming and the consequent metabolic and molecular changes in different medicinal plants. Meanwhile, a growing collection of articles argues that seed priming with plasma is always of interest to researchers and the effect of different types of plasma on various and different seeds is being studied and researched. Although researchers have conducted extensive research in this field, the analysis shows that this field still needs more research. The purpose of this study is to investigate scientific information related to the use of plasma in seed priming and provide a comprehensive understanding of valuable insights with statistical evaluation and data analysis using VOSviewer and R-Studio software to find and reveal the structure and research process in this field for Interested researchers. By addressing this issue, it is hoped to gain a better understanding of the potential benefits and applications of cold plasma in the cultivation of medicinal plants and to identify and use future research directions in this field. | ||
