Multiomics understanding of improved quality in cherry radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. radculus pers) after foliar application of selenium nanomaterials

The potential of nanomaterials for sustainable modern agriculture: present findings and future perspectives

“…99 Li et al 100 reported that the foliar application of Se NPs can improve the nutrient quality of pepper by activating the capsaicinoid synthetic pathway when compared to Na 2 SeO 3 . In a similar study, Cheng et al 101 reported that the employment of the same amount of Se NPs may lead to a higher yield of cherry radish compared with SeO 3 2−…”

In a similar study, Cheng et al 101 reported that the employment of the same amount of Se NPs may lead to a higher yield of cherry radish compared with SeO 3 2− . The analysis of RNA-Seq and metabolomic results indicated that the glucolysis, pyruvate, and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolism pathways were accelerated by exposure to Se NPs, resulting in the increased production of flavonoids, amino acids, and TCA compared with the control.…”

Selenium nanomaterials induce flower enlargement and improve the nutritional quality of cherry tomatoes: pot and field experiments

“…[1][2][3] Improving nutritional status, enhancing resistance, and regulating gene expression in plants could be achieved by engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). [4][5][6] Besides, nanoscale agrochemicals are typically 20-30% more effective than conventional products in agricultural applications. 7 Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are one of the most widely consumed economic crops, and global tomato production reached 180.8 million tons in 2019.…”

“…21 For example, Se ENMs improved the yield and quality of cherry radish by regulating cambium activity and genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) assimilation. 6 Therefore, herein, we hypothesized that soil application of Se ENMs could regulate the photosynthesis and gene expression involved in the flower formation of cherry tomatoes to improve the yield and nutritional quality.…”
