e0“The effects of foliar-applied ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and ZnSO4 on the winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield and grain quality were studied under field conditions, with the distribution and speciation of Zn within the grain examined using synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Although neither of the two Zn compounds improved the grain yield or quality”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect ZnSO4 did not improve grain yield or quality.
- Intervention effect ZnSO4 increased grain Zn concentration by an average 5 mg/kg.
- Intervention effect ZnO nanoparticles increased grain Zn concentration by an average 10 mg/kg.
- Observation Across treatments, grain zinc was mainly in the aleurone layer and crease.
- Intervention effect ZnO nanoparticles slightly increased endosperm zinc.
- Observation Grain zinc was present as Zn phosphate regardless of application form.
- Recommendation The authors regard foliar ZnO nanoparticles as promising for zinc biofortification.
