“…Another important issue that must be taken into account is the route of application of NPs, as this can directly influence plant responses. In this work, the application was via soil, and although the stability of the NPs in the soil was not analyzed, it is important to mention that there are several chemical and biological factors that determine the transformation of NPs and therefore their bioavailability and their translocation of the soil to the plant [28]. However, in the present work, it was shown that the application of Se and Cu NPs induced positive responses in tomato plants, which is consistent with that reported in the literature.…”

The effects of nanoparticles (NPs) on plants are contrasting; these depend on the model plant, the synthesis of the nanoparticles (concentration, size, shape), and the forms of application (foliar, substrate, seeds). For this reason, the objective of this study was to report the impact of different concentrations of selenium (Se) and copper (Cu) NPs on yield, antioxidant capacity, and quality of tomato fruit. The different concentrations of Se and Cu NPs were applied to the substrate every 15 days (five applications). The yield was determined until day 102 after the transplant. Non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidant compounds were determined in the leaves and fruits as well as the fruit quality at harvest. The results indicate that tomato yield was increased by up to 21% with 10 mg L−1 of Se NPs. In leaves, Se and Cu NPs increased the content of chlorophyll, vitamin C, glutathione, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazolin-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and phenylalanine ammonia liasa (PAL). In fruits, they increased vitamin C, glutathione, flavonoids, firmness, total soluble solids, and titratable acidity. The combination of Se and Cu NPs at optimal concentrations could be a good alternative to improve tomato yield and quality, but more studies are needed to elucidate their effects more clearly.

“…This interaction may lead to some impact on plant physiological processes and eventually to the bioaccumulation of NPs, and products of their metabolism, in the animal and human food chain. In the last years, the number of model studies focused on the investigation of interactions between plant and engineered nanoparticles, especially metal-containing ones, has increased [2][3][4]. For example, the bioaccumulation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 NPs) in roots of Lactuca sativa L. followed by their translocation to shoots has been demonstrated [5,6].…”

“…A number of analytical techniques is being currently used for the analysis and characterization of metal-containing NPs, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), microbeam X-Ray Fluorescence (µ-XRF), microbeam X-ray absorption spectroscopy (µ-XAS) [3,20]. Microscopy based techniques are a commonly accepted characterization tool, TEM being the most widely used technique among them [4].…”

To-Do and Not-To-Do in Model Studies of the Uptake, Fate and Metabolism of Metal-Containing Nanoparticles in Plants

Due to the increasing release of metal-containing nanoparticles into the environment, the investigation of their interactions with plants has become a hot topic for many research fields. However, the obtention of reliable data requires a careful design of experimental model studies. The behavior of nanoparticles has to be comprehensively investigated; their stability in growth media, bioaccumulation and characterization of their physicochemical forms taken-up by plants, identification of the species created following their dissolution/oxidation, and finally, their localization within plant tissues. On the basis of their strong expertise, the authors present guidelines for studies of interactions between metal-containing nanoparticles and plants.

“…More recently and using TEM coupled with L-edge X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), Hirst et al [32] evaluated nanoparticles from a boreal river system and found that the Fe(III)-rich nanoparticles comprised predominantly ferrihydrite aggregates, with minor goethite and hematite also observed. A detailed discussion and application of analytical techniques to study Fe-nanoparticles is beyond the scope of this article and readers are referred to recent published reviews [36,37].…”

Iron-Rich Nanoparticles in Natural Aquatic Environments

Naturally-occurring iron nanoparticles constitute a quantitatively-important and biogeochemically-active component of the broader Earth ecosystem. Yet detailed insights into their chemical speciation is sparse compared to the body of work conducted on engineered Fe nanoparticles. The present contribution briefly reviews the analytical approaches that can be used to characterize natural Fe nanoparticles, before detailing a dedicated synchrotron-based X-ray spectro-microscopic investigation into the speciation of suspended Fe nanoparticles collected from fluvial, marine, and lacustrine surface waters. Ferrous, ferric and magnetite classes of Fe nanoparticles (10–100 nm) were identified, and all three classes exhibited a high degree of heterogeneity in the local bonding environment around the Fe center. The heterogeneity is attributed to the possible presence of nanoparticle aggregates, and to the low degrees of crystallinity and ubiquitous presence of impurities (Al and organic moieties) in natural samples. This heterogeneity further precludes a spectroscopic distinction between the Fe nanoparticles and the larger sized Fe-rich particles that were evaluated. The presented results provide an important baseline for natural nanoparticle speciation in pristine aquatic systems, highlight the degree of inter-particle variability, which should be parameterized in future accurate biogeochemical models, and may inform predictions of the fate of released engineered Fe nanoparticles as they evolve and transform in natural systems.
