The application of nanomaterials as a method to overcome plant stress and increase crop yield is relatively new compared the use fertilizers pesticides in agricultural production. In present study, manganese (III) oxide nanoparticles (MnNPs) were investigated nanopriming agent alleviate salinity Capsicum annuum L. during germination at 100 mM NaCl. general, root growth both nonsalt salt-stressed seedlings was significantly improved by MnNPs (0.1, 0.5, 1 mg/L). Scanning electron microscopy...
Latent phenoloxidase activity of hemocyanin (Hc) in whiteleg shrimp Penaeus vannamei was assayed to determine its potential involvement postmortem melanosis. Conversion pure 12-mer, but not 6-mer, by endogenous (serine proteinases) and exogenous (SDS) effectors demonstrated the need complex aggregation for displaying enzyme activity. Because Hc converted Hc-phenoloxidase (HcPO) hemocytes extracts, mechanism conversion seems be same polyphenoloxidases. HcPO has similar biochemical kinetic...
The application of nanotechnology in the field agriculture as nanofertilizers or nanopesticides is receiving increased attention from regulatory agencies and research institutions worldwide. Soil bodies water are among most massive sinks for commercial products containing engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) after use. This may affect agricultural ecosystems, mainly those with a high demand irrigation supply such rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars. review describes responses different cultivars...
With the growing recognition that conventional agriculture will not be able to meet food production demands, innovative strategies reach security are imperative. Although nanoscale fertilizers attracting increased attention as a sustainable platform for agricultural applications, limited data exist on how surface charge influences overall efficacy relative disease suppression and nutrient accumulation. This study investigated effect of positively negatively charged iron oxide nanoparticles...
In this study, spinach plants exposed to fresh/unweathered (UW) or weathered (W) copper compounds in soil were analyzed for growth and nutritional composition. Plants 45 days freshly prepared soil-aged (35 days) nanoparticulate CuO (nCuO), bulk-scale (bCuO), CuSO4 at 0 (control), 400, 40 mg/kg of soil, respectively. Foliar health, gas exchange, pigment content (chlorophyll carotenoid), catalase ascorbate peroxidase enzymes, gene expression, Cu bioaccumulation evaluated along with SEM imagery...
The Paso del Norte region is characterized by its dynamic industries and active agriculture. Throughout the years, urban agricultural soils from this have been exposed to xenobiotics, heavy metals, excess of hydrocarbons. In study, samples [domestic workshops (DW)] agricultural-intended (AI) different sites Ciudad Juárez, Mexico were evaluated for their fertility, element content, microbial diversity. Chemical analyses showed that nitrites, nitrates, P, K, Mg, Mn predominantly higher in AI...
In the present study, Zea mays seedlings grown under nano Cu(OH)2 (nCu), bulk (bCu), and ionic CuSO4 (iCu) compound exposure were harvested after six days. The nutritional profile was determined to be significantly disrupted in roots by 1000 ppm bCu treatment, resulting a 58.7% reduction potassium compared control. shoots, significant decrease of manganese observed for 10 iCu treatments with 55.7% 64.2% reductions, respectively. overall protein content catalase (CAT) enzymatic activity,...
Investigations on the effects of copper-based nanoparticles (NPs) plant growth and fruit production have increased recently. However, limited studies demonstrated different impacts pristine surface-modified CuO NPs tomato plants. In this study, Solanum lycopersicum Candyland Red variety tomatoes were exposed to either 50 or 500 mg/kg synthesized (S.CuO), purchased (P.CuO), functionalized (F.CuO) via soil application grown full maturity (120 days). After harvesting, total soluble proteins in...
