Innovative technologies for sustainable agriculture

Plasma is referred to as the fourth state of matter next to fluid, solid and gaseous. While fusion plasmas are extremely hot, cold plasma can have moderate and even physiological temperatures and is applied in hygiene, cosmetics and medicine.  Dr. Brust in her lecture will tell about cold plasma research in agriculture and its potential application in plant-based feed and food production in the future.

Meanwhile Dr. Mildažiene will present results which were obtained through research on pre-sowing processing of seeds with physical stressors, such as cold plasma, vacuum or electromagnetic field and their relevance for sustainable agriculture. 

Dr. Henrike Brust studied at the University of Greifswald where she obtained PhD in molecular biology. She took part in many interdisciplinary joint-projects but in 2017 Dr. Brust joined Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology where she leads an interdisciplinary research group “Plasma-Agriculture”.

Dr. Vida Mildažiene is a professor at Vytautas Magnus University. Her research interests are biochemistry, bioenergetics, plant and animal cell response to stress, plant response to stress caused by seed treatment, application of systems biology methods, application of cold plasma in sustainable agriculture.
