The impact of graphene oxide (GO) nanocarbon on soil properties is mixed, with both negative and positive effects. Although it decreases the viability some microbes, there are few studies how its single amendment to or in combination nanosized sulfur benefits microorganisms nutrient transformation. Therefore, an eight-week pot experiment was carried out under controlled conditions (growth chamber artificial light) seeded lettuce (Lactuca sativa) amended GO nano-sulfur their own several...
Abstract The intensive use of insecticides in global agricultural production has attracted much attention due to its many adverse effects on human health and the environment. In recent years, utilization nanotechnology emerged as a tool overcome these effects. aim this work was test different microparticles (zinc oxide (ZnO MPs) silicon dioxide (SiO 2 MPs)), silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) study their toxicity model organism, Tenebrio molitor . A comprehensive comparative study, which included...
Abstract Micro/nanorobots represent a new generation of micromachines that can accomplish various tasks, such as loading and transporting specific targets or pharmaceuticals for given application. Biohybrid robots consisting biological cells (bacteria, sperm, microalgae) combined with inorganic particles to control propel their movement are particular interest. The skeleton these biohybrid be used load biomolecules. In this work, the authors create based on tomato plants by coculturing...
Engineered TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) are broadly produced and utilized in various consumer products. However, plant uptake of NPs may lead to disruptions physiological metabolic processes, particularly when the plant’s defense mechanisms overwhelmed. In this study, sweet pepper seedlings were exposed TiO2-NPs via foliar (2.5% suspension) root (0.5% methods, with plants treated distilled water serving as controls. Results showed that application caused higher accumulation Ti leaves...
