Journal ArticleDOI
TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles negatively affect wheat growth and soil enzyme activities in agricultural soil
TL;DR: The effect of TiO(2) and ZnO nanoparticles on wheat growth and soil enzyme activities under field conditions is investigated and the nanoparticles themselves or their dissolved ions were clearly toxic for the soil ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure of engineered nanomaterials to plants: Insights into the physiological and biochemical responses-A review
Nubia Zuverza-Mena,Domingo Martínez-Fernández,Wenchao Du,Jose A. Hernandez-Viezcas,N. J. Bonilla-Bird,Martha L. López-Moreno,Michael Komárek,Jose R. Peralta-Videa,Jorge L. Gardea-Torresdey +8 more
TL;DR: This document focuses on crop plants because of their relevance in human nutrition and health and summarized the mechanisms of interaction between plants and ENMs as well as identified gaps in knowledge for future investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of metal oxide nanoparticles with higher terrestrial plants: Physiological and biochemical aspects.
Wenchao Du,Wenjuan Tan,Jose R. Peralta-Videa,Jorge L. Gardea-Torresdey,Rong Ji,Ying Yin,Hongyan Guo +6 more
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that MONPs may be taken up and accumulated in plant tissues causing adverse or beneficial effects on seed germination, seedling elongation, photosynthesis, antioxidative stress response, agronomic, and yield characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of soil cadmium on growth, oxidative stress and antioxidant system in wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.).
TL;DR: It is proposed that the toxic critical value of soil Cd in inducing oxidative stress to wheat seedlings is between 3.3mgkg(-1) and 10mg kg(-1), which might be more sensitive or indicative than morphological observations in revealing the eco-toxicity of Cd.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and Biochemical Changes Imposed by CeO2 Nanoparticles on Wheat: A Life Cycle Field Study
Wenchao Du,Jorge L. Gardea-Torresdey,Rong Ji,Ying Yin,Jianguo Zhu,Jose R. Peralta-Videa,Hongyan Guo +6 more
TL;DR: Results showed that at high concentration nCeO2 decreased the chlorophyll content and increased catalase and superoxide dismutase activities, compared with control, and that more field life cycle studies are needed in order to better understand the effects of nCEO2 in crop plants.
