The properties of nanoparticles and their increased use have raised concerns about possible harmful effects within the environment. Most studies on been in aqueous systems. Here we investigated effect TiO2 ZnO wheat growth soil enzyme activities under field conditions. Both reduced biomass wheat. were retained for long periods primarily adhered to cell walls dissolved soil, thereby enhancing uptake toxic Zn by also induced significant changes activities, which are bioindicators quality...
Due to their well-known antifungal activity, the intentional use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as sustainable nanofungicides is expected increase in agriculture. However, impacts AgNPs on plants must be critically evaluated guarantee safe food production. In this study, 4-week-old cucumber (Cucumis sativus) received a foliar application (4 or 40 mg/plant) Ag+ (0.04 0.4 for 7 days. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS)=based nontarget metabolomics enabled identification and...
Interactions of nCeO2 with plants have been mostly evaluated at seedling stage and under controlled conditions. In this study, the effects 0 (control), 100 (low), 400 (high) mg/kg were monitored for entire life cycle (about 7 months) wheat grown in a field lysimeter. Results showed that high concentration decreased chlorophyll content increased catalase superoxide dismutase activities, compared control. Both concentrations changed root leaf cell microstructures by agglomerating chromatin...
Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) with activities that mimic antioxidant enzymes have good prospects in agriculture because they can increase photosynthesis and improve stress tolerance. Here, the interaction between cerium oxide NPs spinach plants (Spinacia oleracea) was investigated by integrating phenotypic metabolomic analyses. Soil-grown, four-week-old were foliar exposed for 3 weeks to CeO2 at 0, 0.3, mg per plant. Phenotypic parameters (chlorophyll fluorescence, photosynthetic pigment...
CuO particles can be used as an agrochemical with slow and controlled release of micronutrients but, their size-specific effects have not been well elucidated. In this study, soil-grown lettuce was exposed to nanoparticles (nCuO) microparticles (μCuO) at 0, 200, 400 mg Cu/kg for 60 days. At harvest, nCuO released 82.2% 117.7% more Cu ions, 48.7% 75.3% DTPA-extractable than μCuO 200 mg/kg, respectively. treatments induced higher copper accumulated in roots but did change shoot's content or...
In-situ immobilization is an effective and economically viable strategy for remediation of soil extensively polluted with heavy metals. The long-term sustainability critical the practice. In present study, a ten-year experiment was performed in Cd-polluted agricultural field to evaluate stability lime, silicon fertilizer (SF), fused calcium magnesium phosphate (FCMP), bone charcoal, steel slag, blast furnace slag one-off application. All amendments had no significant effect on biomass but...
Increasing CO2 levels are speculated to change the effects of engineered nanomaterials in soil and on plant growth. How plants will respond a combination elevated stress has rarely been investigated, underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we conducted field experiment investigate rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. IIyou) response TiO2 nanoparticles (nano-TiO2, 0 200 mg kg-1) using free-air enrichment system with different (ambient ∼370 μmol mol-1 ∼570 mol-1). The results showed that or...
