Cold atmospheric plasma activated water as a prospective disinfectant: the crucial role of peroxynitrite

TL;DR: This research successfully demonstrated the possibility of PAW being an effective environmentally benign disinfectant, the activity of which is closely linked to the generation of peroxynitrite, providing much needed insights into the fundamental aspects ofPAW chemistry required for optimisation of the biochemical activity of PAw and translation of this decontamination strategy into real life applications.

Plasma-activated water: generation, origin of reactive species and biological applications

TL;DR: This review presents a succinct review of how novel, efficient methods based on non-equilibrium reactive plasma chemistries can be applied to low-cost natural water sources to produce a prospective product with a wide range of applications while at the same time minimising the process steps and dramatically reducing the use of expensive and/or hazardous reagents.

Controlling the Ambient Air Affected Reactive Species Composition in the Effluent of an Argon Plasma Jet

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate how to eliminate ambient species influence on effluent chemistry by ensheathing the effluent, which can be applied to the majority of possible jet plasma sources.

Redox regulation in plant immune function.

TL;DR: A systems approach will be required to uncover the complexities integral to redox regulation of MAPK cascades, transcription factors, and defense genes through the combined effects of calcium, phosphorylation, S-nitrosylation, and protein tyrosine nitration.

Characterization of an atmospheric helium plasma jet by relative and absolute optical emission spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, relative and absolute optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was performed for the helium and hydrogen lines for the determination of electron density through the Stark broadening mechanism, and a superposition fitting method composed of two component profiles corresponding to two different electron densities was developed to fit the investigated lines.
