The effects of nano-TiO2 on seed germination, development and mitosis of root tip cells of Vicia narbonensis L. and Zea mays L (2011, background): “Engineered nanomaterials have received a tremendous attention for their positive impact in improving many sectors of the market, including consumer products, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, transportation, energy, and agriculture, etc., and are going to be increasingly produced for a wide range of applica”
EFFECT OF NANOSCALE ZINC OXIDE PARTICLES ON THE GERMINATION, GROWTH AND YIELD OF PEANUT (2012, background): “The experiments on application of aqueous TiO 2 (size 25 nm and 100 nm) to willow cuttings did not show any significant toxic effects and also it was observed that amount of aggregate formation and sedimentation seemed to be higher with the larger particles (Seeger et al, 2009 ).”
Interactions between engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) and plants: phytotoxicity, uptake and accumulation. (2010, background): “For instance, a study with willow tree cuttings indicated that TiO2 nanoparticles have limited effects on their growth in terms of water usage and transpiration (Seeger et al., 2009).”
