“…The growth inhibition by salinity stress was reported by Netondo, Onyango, and Beck (). Previous studies on rice, peanut, soya bean and wheat showed that n‐Fe 2 O 3 can improve their growth (Alidoust & Isoda, , ; Ghafari & Razmjoo, ; Rui et al., ). The increased growth and biomass by n‐Fe 2 O 3 seed priming under salinity stress could be due to enhanced photosynthetic rate, photosystem II efficiency, water uptake and decreased membrane damage.…”

“…Recent studies have demonstrated that seed treatment with nanometal oxides can improve seed germination, seedling growth and physiology (Du et al., ). Studies on rice ( Oryza sativa L.), wheat, ( Triticum aestivum L.), peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) and soya bean ( Glycine max L.) have shown that foliar or soil application of iron oxide NPs improved the growth and yield (Alidoust & Isoda, , ; Ghafari & Razmjoo, ; Li et al., ; Rui et al., ). In another study, application of iron oxide NPs has increased chlorophyll content, antioxidant enzyme activity (superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase) and decreased malondialdehyde in watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus L.; Li et al., ).…”

In recent decades, nanoparticles have been intensively applied in agriculture. Two experiments were carried out to demonstrate the potential of nano‐iron oxide (n‐Fe2O3) as seed treatment (soaking and priming) at different concentrations (0, 10, 50, 100 and 500 mg/L) for enhancing sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) germination and seedling growth under non‐stressed conditions (Experiment I), and to investigate the impacts of n‐Fe2O3 seed priming treatments (0, 10, 50, 100 and 500 mg/L) on growth, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll a fluorescence, gas exchange, water relations and lipid peroxidation under salt stress (150 mmol NaCl solution) (Experiment II). Results indicated that seed soaking with n‐Fe2O3 at 10 mg/L was the best treatment in improving speed and per cent of germination, while seed priming with n‐Fe2O3 at 50 and 100 mg/L was the most effective treatment in improving seedling (12 days old) growth. Salt stress decreased chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, relative water content, osmotic potential and growth, along with increased lipid peroxidation. Among chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters, the photosynthetic performance index of PSII (PIABS) was the most salt‐responsive. Seed priming with n‐Fe2O3 at 500 mg/L increased sorghum growth (45 days old), through increased photosystem II efficiency, chlorophyll index, photosynthetic rate and relative water content with decreased lipid peroxidation. Overall, this study indicated that use of n‐Fe2O3 as a pre‐sowing seed treatment can enhance germination and seedling growth of sorghum and protect from negative impacts of salinity stress.

“…Rui et al evaluated the effectiveness of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs; Fe 2 O 3 NPs) as a fertilizer to replace traditional Fe fertilizers [77]. The effects of the Fe 2 O 3 NPs and a chelated-Fe fertilizer (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-Fe; EDTA-Fe) on the growth and development of peanut ( Arachis hypogaea ), a crop that is very sensitive to Fe deficiency, were studied in a pot experiment.…”

Nanomaterials in agriculture are becoming popular due to the impressive advantages of these particles. However, their bioavailability and toxicity are key features for their massive employment. Herein, we comprehensively summarize the latest findings on the phytotoxicity of nanomaterial products based on essential metals used in plant protection. The metal nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized from essential metals belong to the most commonly manufactured types of nanomaterials since they have unique physical and chemical properties and are used in agricultural and biotechnological applications, which are discussed. The paper discusses the interactions of nanomaterials and vascular plants, which are the subject of intensive research because plants closely interact with soil, water, and atmosphere; they are also part of the food chain. Regarding the accumulation of NPs in the plant body, their quantification and localization is still very unclear and further research in this area is necessary.

“…In particular, it is known that metal oxide nanoparticles, such as copper oxide nanoparticles, exert negative effects on plants [2]. On the other hand, some NPs in suitable concentrations can enhance plant growth and could be used as nanofertilizers in agriculture to increase yields and thus decrease environmental pollution caused by classical fertilizers [3][4][5][6]. The biological effects of individual metals are more or less known, but even though combinations of xenobiotics are common in nature; their combined effects still need to be thoroughly investigated.…”

Extended AbstractCurrently, the use of nanotechnologies is in rapid expansion, which entails increasing risks of environmental contamination by nanoparticles. Many studies describe the toxic effects on humans, but little is known about the adverse environmental effects on plants. Currently, various nanoparticles are being detected in streams, wastewater and sewage due to widespread nanoparticle uses. Many toxicological studies investigate the effect of engineered NPs on various organisms, including plants [1]. In particular, it is known that metal oxide nanoparticles, such as copper oxide nanoparticles, exert negative effects on plants [2]. On the other hand, some NPs in suitable concentrations can enhance plant growth and could be used as nanofertilizers in agriculture to increase yields and thus decrease environmental pollution caused by classical fertilizers [3][4][5][6]. The biological effects of individual metals are more or less known, but even though combinations of xenobiotics are common in nature; their combined effects still need to be thoroughly investigated. Cd frequently accompanies Zn minerals in the environment [7], and due to their chemical similarity they both can be taken by plants as divalent cations. It is well-known that metals in mixtures may act independently or interact to produce additive, synergistic, or antagonistic effects [8]. We have studied the accumulation of cadmium simultaneously with metal oxide nanoparticles or with their bulk counter particles by wetland plant species (Carex vulpina).The plants were cultivated in vitro on liquid RH medium [9] supplemented with cadmium (5,62 mg/l) and ZnO (10,50,100 and 200 mg/l) or CuO (10 mg/l) in both nano and bulk form and corresponding metal salt. Metal salts were used in the concentrations that the final amount of metal contained in metal oxide was similar to the amount of metal contained in metal salt. After three weeks the plants were harvested and the amount of Cd, Zn or Cu were established by AAS in roots and leaves separately. The concentrations of photosynthetic active pigments were measured. The plants cultivated on zinc oxide accumulated the same amount of zinc independently on the form. When we compared the effect of nano and bulk zinc metal oxides on cadmium uptake there was no differences. But small amount of zinc in all forms in the medium increased the accumulation of cadmium in roots, but decreased the translocation to the leaves. On the other hand the higher concentration of zinc (200mg/l) caused decrease in concentration of cadmium in roots and increase amount of Cd ions in leaves. In the case of copper, the higher concentration of Cu was found in plants cultivated on medium supplemented by CuO in nanoform; on the other hand in these plants the smaller amount of cadmium was up taken by roots and translocated to the leaves. This study was supported by projects MYES of CR n. LD14100.
