Effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles on growth and antioxidant system of chickpea seedlings
Abstract
Ten days old seedlings of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L var. HC-1) were foliar sprayed with 1.5 or 10 ppm aqueous solution of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and effects were compared with corresponding concentration of zinc sulphate and ZnO of normal size. Maximum promontory response with respect to shoot dry weight was observed in seedlings treated with 1.5 ppm ZnO nanoparticles while at 10 ppm the nanoparticles exerted adverse effects on root growth. However, overall biomass accumulation improved in the ZnO nanoparticle treated seedlings. This response may be attributed to low reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels which resulted in less lipid peroxidation as evident from lower malondialdehyde (MDA) content. This was associated with lower activity of prominent antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and peroxidase ZnO nanoparticle treated seedling compared to control. The study indicates importance in precise application of zinc, more so in deficient system, where plant response varies with concentration and is important in understanding the mechanism of action of specific nanomaterials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
