Water-deficit stress is the most important environmental factors limiting plant growth, and production. Nano-titanium dioxide (nano anataseTiO 2 ) can have various profound effects on the crop physiological, biochemical and morphological characteristics. In the present research, the influences of different concentrations ofTiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) (0, 10 and 40 ppm) and water-deficit stress on Dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L.) were investigated in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that under normal irrigation, foliar application of 10 ppm TiO 2 NPs increased plant shoot dry mass and essential oils content. Under water-deficit stress condition, plants treated with 10 ppm TiO 2 NPs had more proline and much less H 2 O 2 and malondialdehyde content as compared to untreated plants. Therefore, it can be concluded that proper concentration of TiO 2 NPs probably can be used as an exogenous stimuli for improvement of shoot growth and essential oil content in plants. Furthermore, water-deficit stress-induced damages such as oxidative stress and membrane damage can be ameliorated by foliar application of TiO 2 NPs at appropriate concentrations. Sušni stres je eden izmed najpomembnejših okoljskih dejavnikov, ki omejujejo rast in produktivnost rastlin. Uporaba nano delcev titanovega dioksida (TiO 2 nano anataza) ima lahko velike učinke na fiziološke, biokemične in morfološke lastnosti gojenih rastlin. V tej raziskavi je bil v naključnem faktorskem bločnem poskusu preučevan vpliv različnih koncentracij nano delcev TiO 2 (0, 10 in 40 ppm) in sušnega stresa na moldavsko kačjeglavko (Dracocephalum moldavica L.) v treh ponovitvah. Rezultati so pokazali, da sta se suha masa in vsebnost eteričnih olj povečali pri normalnem namakanju in listnem dodajanju 10 ppm TiO 2 nano delcev. V razmerah sušnega stresa so vsebovale rastline, ki so bile tretirane z 10 ppm TiO 2 več prolina in mnogo manj H 2 O 2 in malonildialdehida v primerjavi z netretiranimi rastlinami. Na osnovi tega bi lahko zaključili, da bi z uporabo primerne koncentracije nano delcev TiO 2 kot zunanjega stimulanta, lahko izboljšali rast poganjkov in vsebnost eteričnih olj pri tej rastlini. Poškodbe kot sta oksidativni stres in poškodovanost membran, ki nastanejo zaradi sušnega stresa, bi lahko ublažili s foliarno aplikacijo primerne koncentracije nanodelcev TiO 2 .
