Application of Nano-Silicon Dioxide Improves Salt Stress Tolerance in Strawberry Plants (2019, background): “The beneficial effect of nSiO2 in relation to improving germination of soybean (Glycine max) seeds was suggested to be related to increasing nitrate reductase activity [35], and was linked to plants ability to uptake and use water and nutrition by seeds [36].”
Beneficial role of carbon nanotubes on mustard plant growth: an agricultural prospect (2011, background): “However, Hong et al. (2005) and Yang et al. (2006 )h ave shown that nano-TiO2 are able to promote plant growth by enhancing their nitrogen-fixing properties, although Zheng et al. (2005) have reported nanoparticles to be quite toxic to living cells.”
Interactions between nanoparticles and plants: phytotoxicity and defense mechanisms (2017, background): “Some studies showed that TiO2 NPs promoted nitrogen metabolism and photosynthesis, thereby improving spinach growth when provided at a suitable concentration (Hong et al. 2005; Zheng et al. 2005; Yang et al. 2006).”
Role of Nanoparticles in Plants (2015, background): “Exogenous application of nano-SiO2 and nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) improves seed germination of soybean by increasing nitrate reductase (Lu et al. 2002) and also by enhancing seeds ability to absorb and utilize water and nutrients (Zheng et al. 2005).”
EFFECT OF NANOSCALE ZINC OXIDE PARTICLES ON THE GERMINATION, GROWTH AND YIELD OF PEANUT (2012, result): “Similar results were observed by Zhang et al, 2005 when Spinacia oleracea seeds were treated with nanoscale TiO 2 particles.”
Effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles on growth and antioxidant system of chickpea seedlings (2013, background): “On the other hand, nanosized TiO2 produced positive effects on growth, photosynthesis, and nitrogen metabolism of spinach when administered to the seeds or sprayed onto the leaves (Gao et al. 2006; Hong et al. 2005; Zheng et al. 2005).”
Effect of nanoparticles on biological contamination of in vitro cultures and organogenic regeneration of banana. (2014, background): “Zheng et al. (2005) reported that nano TiO2 treatment could markedly promote the vigor of aged seeds and chlorophyll formation of spinach, by which the ribulose biphosphate carboxylase activity and photosynthesis is obviously increased and the growth and development of spinach promoted.”
Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on Seed Germination of Crop Plants (2015, background): “nanoparticles’ effects on seed germination mechanisms, it is possible that nanoparticles increase water absorption by seeds [23], increase nitrate reductase enzyme levels, increase the seeds abilities to absorb and utilize water and fertilizer, promote seed antioxidant systems [24], reduce antioxida”
Nano-fertilizers and Their Smart Delivery System (2015, background): “2009), a few studies have suggested that nanoparticles delivered at safe dose may help in promoting plant growth and overall yield (Zheng et al. 2005; Gao et al. 2006; L opez-Moreno et al. 2010).”
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): “Our data differ from the results obtained in naturally aged seeds of Spinacia oleracea L. ( Zheng et al. 2005 ), in which nano-TiO2 (rutile), particularly at the concentration of 2.5%, accelerated the germination and had positive effects on the growth of seedlings.”
