e0“The green bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a very widely grown food crop”
e1“The applications of ZnSO 4 or ZnO NPs significantly increased the biomass accumulation (79.10 g · p −1 and 84.70 g · p −1 DW) and yield (55.64 g · p −1 and 53.80 g · p −1 FW)”

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect ZnO nanoparticle application increased Zn2+ concentrations in leaflets, roots, stems and pods of green bean.
- Intervention effect Zn2+ applications increased sucrose concentration in green bean.
- Observation Zinc applications did not change total phenols, total flavonoids or antioxidant capacity in green bean.
- Intervention effect Zn2+ application left sucrose and total flavonoid concentrations unchanged in green bean pods and seeds.
- Intervention effect Zn2+ application significantly increased total phenols in green bean pods and seeds.
- Intervention effect Antioxidant capacity was affected by both zinc sources only in green bean pods.
- Intervention effect ZnSO4 foliar application significantly increased green bean biomass accumulation to 79.10 g per plant.
- Intervention effect ZnO nanoparticle application significantly increased green bean biomass accumulation to 84.70 g per plant.
- Intervention effect ZnSO4 foliar application significantly increased green bean yield to 55.64 g per plant fresh weight.
- Observation Green bean chlorophyll a and b concentrations were reported at 15.40 and 11.64 μg per gram, respectively.
- Recommendation The authors suggest ZnO nanoparticle application could be a worthwhile biofortification strategy for commercial green bean production.
