Iron nanomaterials are widely present in the environment and their concentrations are increasing day by day. In many applications, iron nanomaterials are included, but the minimum and maximum concentrations that are not harmful to plants are not yet known. Effect of F3O4(NPs) on Peganum harmala plants for the purpose of showing anatomical responses as effective biomarkers for increasing the concentration of nanomaterials in the ecosystem. Electron microscopy to determine the effect of different doses of F3O4(NPs) ranging from (0-600 mg / L) were used. The cross-sections of leaves were compared in terms of epidermis, parenchyma cells, vascular cylinder, especially xylem and phloem vessels. Epidermal variations were studied stomata, guard cells and normal cells of the epidermis. The laboratories of the Department of Environmental Sciences and Pollution at the College of Science, University of Kufa for the year 2022 were used to conduct experiments. The anatomical results of the studied plants showed that the largest effect was on the epidermis of the plants, especially on the stomata system, where the stomata were closed and decreased in number, while the vascular system was less affected by the variation in the concentration of F3O4(NPs) compared to the rest anatomical indicators. The severity effect was proportional to the increase in concentration. The results indicate that an insufficient supply of F3O4(NPs) (150 mg / L) can be a plant growth stimulator and the results can be used in practical applications to increase production and improve crops as a fertilizer. Whereas, treatments with high concentrations inhibit antioxidants, causing a deficiency of growth activity in plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
