e0“It was evident that Cu-stress reduced photosynthesis (17.3%), stomatal conductance (18.1%), plant height (19.7%), and nitrate reductase (NR) activity (19.2%), but increased malondialdehyde (MDA; 29.4%), superoxide radical (O2-; 22.3%) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 26.2%) content in S. lycopersicum”

- Intervention effect Copper stress increased tomato superoxide radical (O2- by 22.3%.
- Intervention effect Copper stress increased tomato hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 by 26.2%.
- Intervention effect ZnO-NPs and/or EBL improved photosynthetic activity, stomatal aperture, growth under copper stress.
- Intervention effect ZnO-NPs and/or EBL improved cell viability and activity of antioxidant enzymes and proline under copper stress.
- Recommendation The authors propose applying ZnO-NPs and EBL to aid copper removal and tolerance in tomato at contaminated sites.
