Seed priming with gas plasma activated water in Ethiopia’s “orphan” crop tef (Eragrostis tef)

This work was supported by the United Kingdom's Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) via Royal Holloway's GCRF Time-Limited Urgency Funding 2021, and by the GCRF Networking Grant GCRFNGR4/116 "Understanding the Food Chain of Tef (Eragrostis tef) and the Application of Seed Technology in Tef Farming in Ethiopia" (The Academy of Medical Sciences). The development of ageing methods and gas plasma reactors for the treatment of seeds was further supported by the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) "PlasSeed" project to FI and GL-M (BB/S018441/1 and BB/S016112/1), an AgriTech Catalyst project to TS and GL-M (BB/R021147/1) and the European COST action CA19110.
