摘要
干旱胁迫严重威胁着全球粮食安全,需要创新的解决方案来提高作物的抗灾能力。纳米粒子(NPs)显示出缓解水资源短缺和提高农业生产力的潜力;然而,目前的研究缺乏对np增强抗旱能力机制的系统定量整合。我们通过对83项同行评议调查的荟萃分析来解决这一差距,采用效应大小计算(lnRR)系统地量化NP诱导的作物抗旱性改善,同时确定关键决定因素,包括NP类型、应用方法和最佳浓度。结果表明,在DS条件下,NP通过脯氨酸和可溶性糖积累介导的渗透调节,显著促进作物生长,提高水分利用效率(WUE),分别提高28.3%和52.4%。抗氧化酶活性提高14.2% ~ 25.6%,H2O2和MDA含量分别降低39.1%和29.4%。100-150 mg L - 1的叶片给药是最佳的NP施用策略。ZnO NPs在提高作物抗旱性方面表现出最高的效果。阐明了NPs提高抗旱性的生理机制,为其农业应用提供了实践指导。我们的研究结果支持在干旱易发地区制定更有针对性和更有效的作物管理策略。
Harnessing nanoparticles to enhance crop production under drought stress: A quantitative meta-analysis
Drought stress (DS) severely threatens global food security, necessitating innovative solutions to enhance crop resilience. Nanoparticles (NPs) show potential for mitigating water scarcity and improving agricultural productivity; however, current research lacks systematic quantitative integration of NP-induced enhancement drought resilience mechanisms. We address this gap through a meta-analysis of 83 peer-reviewed investigations, employing effect size calculations () to systematically quantify NP-induced improvements in crop drought resistance, while identifying critical determinants including NP types, application methods, and optimal concentrations. Our results demonstrate that NP applications under DS significantly enhanced crop growth and improved water use efficiency (WUE) by 28.3 % and 52.4 %, respectively, through osmotic regulation mediated by proline and soluble sugar accumulation. Furthermore, antioxidant enzyme activities were enhanced by 14.2–25.6 %, while H2O2 and MDA levels reduced by 39.1 % and 29.4 %, respectively. Foliar delivery at 100–150 mg L−1 emerged as the optimal NP application strategy. ZnO NPs demonstrated the highest efficacy in enhancing drought resilience across crop types. We elucidated the physiological mechanisms through which NPs enhance drought tolerance and provide practical guidance for their agricultural application. Our findings support the development of more targeted and efficient crop management strategies in drought-prone regions.
