Abstract:Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs)
cause biotoxicity
and pose a
potential ecological threat; however, their effects on plant metabolism
and eco-corona evolution between NPs and organisms remain unclear.
This study clarified the molecular mechanisms underlying physiological
and metabolic responses induced by three different ZnO NPs with different
sizes and hydrophobicity in sprouts (Vigna radiata) and explored the critical regulation of eco-corona formation in
root–nano systems. Results indicated that smaller-s… Show more
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.
