摘要
Information on the phytotoxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) at low concentrations (e.g., ppb to low ppm) is scarce. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the effects of laboratory-prepared Cu, Zn, Mn, and Fe oxide NPs in low concentrations (< 50 ppm) on the germination of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds in a water medium. The data showed that CuO NPs were slightly more toxic than Cu ions while the toxicity of ZnO NPs was similar to that of Zn ions, and MnOx NPs and FeOx NPs were not only less toxic than their ionic counterparts but also significantly stimulated the growth of lettuce seedlings by 12-54 %. This study showed that manufactured NPs were not always more toxic than other chemical species containing the same elements. Instead, Mn or Fe NPs can significantly enhance plant growth and have the potential to be effective nanofertilizers for increasing agronomic productivity.
