Phytotoxic effect of silver nanoparticles in Triticum aestivum: Improper regulation of photosystem I activity as the reason for oxidative damage in the chloroplast

Abstract: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in several industries and their continuous release into environment can damage the ecosystem. Our study observed the impact of two concentrations of AgNPs (1 and 5 mM) on wheat seedlings. In this study, the treatment of AgNPs was found to have a significant impact on growth parameters, such as root and shoot length of wheat seedlings, in addition to that biochemical parameters, such as activity of catalase, glutathione, flavonoid, and chlorophyll concentrations, were also … Show more

“…The parameter 1 -VI is interpreted as the efficiency/probability by which electrons move from PSII to PSI acceptor side, which was drastically retarded upon heavy metal treatment. The similar effect was observed by Rastogi et al (2019), who suggested that the decrease of 1 -VI was associated with the significant decrease of PSI activity due to metal treatment. Moreover, Küpper et al (2019) discussed that the decline in 1 -VI in leaves under heavy metal treatment related to the decrease in the efficiency or probability with which a PSII trapped electron is transferred to PSI.…”

“…Among various photosynthetic parameters, maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) and performance index (PIABS) were selected to be represented in this manuscript due to its proven sensitivity to identify the abiotic stress response in different plants (Kalaji et al 2017, Rastogi et al 2019a. Fv/Fm indicates the maximum quantum yield of PSII photochemistry, whereas PIABS is a photosynthetic parameter that takes into consideration a number of different phenomena related to PSII photochemistry (Zivcak et al 2008).…”

“…However, a proportion of this energy is released in the form of heat and fluorescence. When the electron transport in the photosynthetic system is partially or completely blocked due to a stress factor, the emitted fluorescence intensity increases, reflecting less use of photosynthetically active radiation by plants [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
