Abstract :
Summary form only given. Long-term storage of commercially important seeds, for instance maze and wheat, in such way to keep unwanted microorganism infections from appearing and spreading is very important, but challenging task. Fortunately, even when an infection starts to spread, plasma treatment can be used to sterilize seeds in a cheap and reliable manner instead of traditional, ecologically unfriendly, chemical treatments [1].
