Effect of Three Nanoparticles (Se, Si and Cu) on the Bioactive Compounds of Bell Pepper Fruits under Saline Stress

Abstract: The bell pepper is a vegetable with high antioxidant content, and its consumption is important because it can reduce the risk of certain diseases in humans. Plants can be affected by different types of stress, whether biotic or abiotic. Among the abiotic factors, there is saline stress that affects the metabolism and physiology of plants, which causes damage, decreasing productivity and quality of fruits. The objective of this work was to evaluate the application of selenium, silicon and copper nanoparticles a… Show more

“…The most important biofortified food crops include rice ( de Lima Lessa et al, 2020 ), wheat (Shi et al, 2020), maize ( Cheah et al, 2020 ), cassava ( Okwuonu et al, 2021 ) and sweet potato ( Siwela et al, 2020 ) or horticultural crops like pear (Pessoa et al, 2021) and strawberry ( Budke et al, 2020 ) or pulse crops ( Jha and Warkentin, 2020 ). The major nutrients, which could be used in biofortification may include boron ( Hussain et al, 2020 ), copper ( Grujcic et al, 2021 ), iron ( Okwuonu et al, 2021 ), iodine ( Dobosy et al, 2020 ), calcium (Pessoa et al, 2021), selenium ( González-García et al, 2021 ) and zinc (Pal et al, 2021). Not only nutrients could be biofortified in edible crops, but also some vitamins also can be applied like vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (e.g., niacin), B5 (pantothenate), B6 (e.g., pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (e.g., folates and their derivatives) and B12 (cobalamin) or vitamin C (ascorbate) or vitamin E (tocopherol) or carotenoids ( Jiang et al, 2021 ; Tiozon et al, 2021 ).…”
