Comparative impact of seed priming with zinc oxide nanoparticles and zinc sulphate on biocompatibility, zinc uptake, germination, seedling vitality, and antioxidant modulation in groundnut
Nanotechnology has transformative potential in agriculture by optimizing plant nutrient use. In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were synthesized using ZnSO4.7H2O as a precursor. The synthesized ZnO-NPs exhibited a particle size of 63.60 nm, stability characterized by a zeta potential, and a semispherical agglomerated shape under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The purity of the nanomaterials was confirmed through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). SEM-EDAX analysis of groundnut seeds primed with ZnO-NPs showed improved zinc adsorption and distribution compared to bulk ZnSO4, with no physical damage, indicating good biocompatibility. The small size and high surface area of the nanoparticles enhanced zinc uptake, as confirmed by higher zinc levels in ZnO-NP-treated seeds. ZnO-NP priming resulted in greater physio-biochemical responses, enhancing germination and the seedling vigor index at 10 days post-sowing. Biochemical analysis revealed elevated levels of chlorophyll, soluble protein, total soluble sugar, and free amino acid in the leaves of ZnO-NP-treated plants. Furthermore, ZnO-NP-treated groundnut seedlings exhibited significantly greater DPPH radical scavenging activity than control plants, indicating enhanced antioxidant potential. This study further explored the elevations in the levels of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase-SOD, catalase-CAT, ascorbate peroxidase-APX, guaiacol peroxidase-GPX and polyphenol oxidase-PPO) primed with ZnO-NPs to augment the hydration of seeds, increase antioxidant enzyme activity to neutralize reactive oxygen species, preserve cellular integrity, and promote overall plant health. These findings underscore the potential of ZnO-NPs as a sustainable nanotechnological approach for enhancing groundnut seed germination, seedling vigor, and stress tolerance, ultimately promoting crop growth and productivity.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size.
Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology.
The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged.
