Transcriptomic changes in tomato plants infected with ToBRFV after cold air glow discharge plasma treatment
Researchers have found that cold air glow discharge plasma (CAGDP) treatment can help tomato plants resist the Tomato brown rugose fruit virus. The study shows that the treatment triggers transcriptomic changes that prime the plant's immune system.
