Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect At 0·01%, nTiO 2 increased shoot length, leaf area and root dry weight under normal conditions.
- Observation The growth promoting effects coincided with higher chlorophyll b, soluble sugars and proline.
- Observation The growth promoting effects coincided with enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities.
- Intervention effect Saline soil increased proline and enzymatic antioxidant activities.
- Intervention effect Saline soil reduced plant growth significantly.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, 0·01% nTiO 2 increased enzymatic antioxidants and soluble sugars and amino acids versus salinity alone.
- Mechanism Increased antioxidant enzyme activities were interpreted as contributing to reduced hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde.
- Observation The 0·01% dose was most effective, 0·02% intermediate, and 0·03% almost ineffective under control and saline conditions.
