Superoxide dismutases: ancient enzymes and new insights.

TL;DR: The studies on the Fe‐substituted MnSOD of Escherichia coli, as well as redox tuning in the FeS OD of E. coli shed light on how evolution accommodated differences between Fe and Mn that would affect SOD performance, in SOD proteins whose activity is specific to one or other metal ion.

Cytogenetic and genotoxic effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on root cells of Allium cepa.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that ZnO NPs can be a clastogenic/genotoxic and cytotoxic agent and the A. cepa cytogenetic test can be used for the genotoxicity monitoring of novel nanomaterials, which is used in many consumer products.

Fate of ZnO nanoparticles in soils and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata).

TL;DR: Under the current experimental conditions, the similarity in uptake and toxicity of Zn from ZnO-NPs and soluble Zn in soils indicates that the ZnNPs used in this study did not constitute nanospecific risks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fate of CuO and ZnO nano- and microparticles in the plant environment.

TL;DR: Findings demonstrate the similarities between commercial NPs and MPs of CuO or ZnO in wheat plants, with greater root toxicity correlating with smaller particle size, as well as the influence of factors from the sand and the plant on the aggregation or dissolution of both types of particles.
