Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect High Fe3O4 nanoparticle seed treatment (200 and 500 mg/L) enhanced wheat growth, photosynthesis and respiration.
- Intervention effect High Fe3O4 nanoparticle seed treatment (200 and 500 mg/L) increased the content of photosynthetic pigments in wheat leaves.
- Association The enhancing effect of nanoparticles depended on the light intensity during growth and on plant age.
- Intervention effect Regardless of concentration and light intensity, no effect of the nanoparticles on primary photochemical processes was observed.
- Intervention effect Nanoparticle seed treatment reduced malondialdehyde content in wheat roots and leaves.
- Intervention effect Fe3O4 treatment led to noticeable increases in leaf Fe, P and K content.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that Fe3O4-based nanoparticles could enhance wheat growth by improving photosynthetic performance and the availability of Fe and P.
