Abstract
Tis work aimed to investiate te impact of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) on te stress induced byCadmium (Cd) on rain ermination and antioxidant system of Maize (Zea mays L.) seedlin. Germination parameters(final ermination percentae (FGP), mean daily ermination (MDG), coefficient of velocity of ermination (CVG),mean ermination time MGT, ermination index (GI), ermination stress tolerance index (GSI), seedlin vior index(SVI) as well as dry matter stress tolerance index (DMSI)), rowt parameters (soot and root fres and dry weit),free radicals malondialdeyde (MDA) and reduced lutatione (GSH) concentrations, superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC.5..), lutatione reductases (GR, EC .6.4.2), lutatione peroxidase (GPX, EC ...9) and catalase (CAT, EC...6) activities were investiated. Te results indicated tat, addition of ZnO-NPs (5 m L-) contribute a ilyprotection from Cd toxicity via decrease Cd concentration, MGT, MDA and promotin induction of MDG, CVG, GSI,SVI and DMSI, as well increasin GSH, SOD, GR, CAT and GPX activities.
