Nanomaterials are used in practically every aspect of modern life, including agriculture. The aim this study was to evaluate the effectiveness iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 NPs) as a fertilizer replace traditional Fe fertilizers, which have various shortcomings. effects Fe2O3 NPs and chelated-Fe (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-Fe; EDTA-Fe) on growth development peanut (Arachis hypogaea), crop that is very sensitive deficiency, were studied pot experiment. results showed increased root...
The effects of cerium oxide (CeO2) and indium (In2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) exposure on Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. were investigated. After inoculation in half strength MS medium amended with 0–2000 ppm CeO2 In2O3 NPs for 25 days, both physiological molecular responses evaluated. Exposure at 250 significantly increased plant biomass, but 500–2000 ppm, growth was decreased by up to 85% a dose-dependent fashion. At 1000 2000 NPs, chlorophyll production reduced nearly 60% 85%, respectively,...
With increasing global population, innovations in agriculture will be essential for a sustainable food supply. We compare commercial CuO NP to synthesized Cu3(PO4)2·3H2O nanosheets determine the influence of coordinating anion, particle morphology, and dissolution profile on Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum induced disease watermelon. Copper organic acid solutions that mimic complexing agents found plants was increased by 2 orders magnitude relative water. showed rapid initial dissolution,...
Microplastics (MPs), including conventional hard-to-biodegrade petroleum-based and faster biodegradable plant-based ones, impact soil structure microbiota in turn affecting the biodiversity functions of terrestrial ecosystems. Herein, we investigated effects MPs on aggregate distribution microbial community composition microhabitats at scale. Two MP types (polyethylene (PE) polylactic acid (PLA) with increasing size (50, 150, 300 μm)) were mixed a silty loam (0–20 cm) ratio 0.5 % (w/w)...
Abstract This study focused on determining the phytotoxic mechanism of CeO 2 nanoparticles (NPs): destroying chloroplasts and vascular bundles altering absorption nutrients conventional Bt-transgenic cottons. Experiments were designed with three concentrations NPs including: 0, 100 500 mg·L −1 each treatment was replications. Results indicate that absorbed significantly reduced Zn, Mg, Fe P levels in xylem sap compared control group decreased indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) abscisic (ABA) roots...
A systematic cytotoxicity study of layered black phosphorus (BP) is urgently needed before moving forward to its potential biomedical applications. Herein, bulk BP crystals are synthesized and exfoliated into with different lateral size thickness. The as‐exfoliated evaluated by a label‐free real‐time cell analysis technique, displaying concentration‐, size‐, type‐dependent response. IC 50 values can vary 40 30 times among the sizes types, respectively. BP‐1 largest thickness has highest...
We investigate the defense mechanisms of <italic>Arabidopsis thaliana</italic> in response to cerium oxide and indium nanoparticle exposure.
As a result of the rapid development nanotechnology, metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) are inadvertently released into environment and may pose potential threat to ecosystem. However, information for food quality safety in NP-treated crops is limited. In present study, wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) was grown different concentrations Ag-NP-amended soil (20, 200, 2000 mg kg-1) 4 months. At harvest, physiological parameters, Ag micronutrient (Fe, Cu, Zn) contents, amino acid total protein...
Nanoparticles (NPs) have great potential for use in the fields of biomedicine, building materials, and environmental protection because their antibacterial properties. However, there are few reports regarding antifungal activities NPs on plants. In this study, we evaluated roles against
The aim of this study was to investigate the phytotoxicity thin-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings. Three different CNTs, including hollow multi-walled (MWCNTs), Fe-filled (Fe-CNTs), and Fe-Co-filled (FeCo-CNTs), were evaluated. CNTs significantly inhibited growth by decreasing concentrations endogenous plant hormones. nitrogen ratio (C:N ratio) increased in roots after treatments with all three types had same effects on C:N ratio. Interestingly, increase largely...
In the present study, we investigated effects of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) at physiological and biochemical levels as well impacts yield quality. Peanuts were cultivated in sandy soil amended with different doses Ag NPs (50, 500, 2000 mg·kg–1) for 98 days. Physiological parameters including plant biomass, height, grain weight, suggested that could result severe damages growth. At level, did not change predominant isozymes each antioxidant enzyme but...
Tobacco (<italic>Nicotiana benthamiana</italic>) and Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) were used as a model system to investigate the potential of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) for promoting crop growth resistance viral infection.
This work assesses the potential of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with or without a chitosan coating to suppress Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum) in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) by virtue dissolution release silicic acid. Plant health was assessed monitoring total biomass and fruit production both healthy pathogen-infected plants up 100 days after single nanoparticle application (500 mg/L) applied at seedling stage. Both types enhanced innate defense mechanisms...
