      ab: Few investigations have tested the practical use of cold plasma as a novel technology to meet the requirements in the plant cell and tissue culture field. To fill the knowledge gap, we intend to respond to the question of whether plasma priming influenced DNA ultrastructure and the production of atropine (a tropane alkaloid) in Datura inoxia. Calluses were treated with the corona discharge plasma at time durations ranging from 0 to 300 s. Significant increases (about 60%) in biomass were observed in the plasma-primed calluses. The plasma priming of calluses enhanced the accumulation of atropine about 2-fold. The plasma treatments increased proline concentrations and soluble phenols. The drastic increases in the activity of the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) enzyme resulted from the applied treatments. Likewise, the plasma treatment of 180 s upregulated the expression of the PAL gene by 8-fold. Also, the expression of the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and tropinone reductase I (TR I) genes were stimulated by 4.3-fold and 3.2-fold, respectively, in response to the plasma treatment. The putrescine N-methyltransferase gene displayed a similar trend to that of TR I and ODC genes following the plasma priming. Methylation sensitive amplification polymorphism method was employed to explore the plasma-associated epigenetic changes in DNA ultrastructure. The molecular assessment referred to DNA hypomethylation, validating an epigenetic response. This biological assessment study validates the hypothesis that plasma priming of callus is an efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly tool to enhance callogenesis efficiency, elicit metabolism, affect gene regulation, and modify chromatin ultrastructure in D. inoxia.
