Insight into the biochemical and physiological mechanisms of nanoparticles-induced arsenic tolerance in bamboo.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Arsenic (As) contamination in soil, sediments, and water poses a significant threat to the growth of bamboo plants. However, nanoparticles with high metal absorbance capacity can play a key role in the reduction of heavy metals toxicity in plants as well as maintaining their growth under toxicity.

Methods

Hence, an in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the influence of three types of nanoparticles: 150 µM silicon nanoparticles (SiO₂ NPs), 150 µM titanium nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs), and 150 µM zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on As (150 µM and 250 µM) tolerance enhancement of a one-year-old bamboo species (Pleioblastus pygmaeus).

Results and discussion

The results showed that while As at 150 µM and 250 µM signif
