Abstract: (89 Views)
The toxicity of the heavy metal nickel in plants causes oxidative stress and the production of energetic radicals (ROS) such as superoxide (O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl (OH-). If the amount of ROS accumulation exceeds the ability of the antioxidant system, the cell will be damaged and the sensitive tomato plant will suffer a reduction in growth. The application of titanium nanoparticles increases the resistance to nickel stress by increasing the antioxidant power and improving plant growth. In this research, the comparative and reciprocal effect of 50 mg/liter of two types of green nanoparticles (GNP; using oregano plant extract) and synthetic (SNP) titanium dioxide with a size of 10 to 30 nm on improving the growth and resistance of tomato. Early Urbana cultivar was studied under the stress of 150 µM nickel-II sulfate in the greenhouse environment as a factorial experiment in the form of a completely randomized design. The results showed that the separate application of two green nanoparticles (GNP) and synthetic titanium (SNP) had a significant effect on the improvement of stem fresh weight (16.38 g/plant) and root length growth (30.04 cm), ion leakage (31 2.2%), MDA (0.084 nM), root potassium accumulation (1.69%) under nickel stress conditions. However, the cross-application of green nanoparticles with the synthetic type led to further improvement of measured traits such as stem magnesium nutrition (7.34%), stem iron (2.79%), stem nickel accumulation (0.028%), catalase enzyme activity (29. 8 enzyme U) and leaf surface (11.6 cm2) were treated with 150µM nickel toxicity and was able to reduce the toxic effects of nickel stress well. Therefore, in some other traits such as the improvement of stem H2O2 accumulation (4.6 µM), the separate application of green nanoparticles under nickel stress had a better effect than synthetic titanium nanoparticles. However, the application of green titanium nanoparticles individually or together increased the resistance of plants under nickel stress and is a proposed method compatible with the environment.
