Biogenic zinc oxide nanoregulator determines the quantitative analysis of morpho-anatomical and antioxidant capacity in <i>Lactuca sativa L</i>.

ABSTRACT: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) can possibly serve as a pervasive source of essential nutrient zinc in agricultural crops in the future. The major environmental concerns with ZnO NPs might be their toxicity and incorrect dosage, which might lead to crop damage and environmental pollution. Interplay between ZnO NPs and Lactuca sativa (L. sativa) will be of interest, yet little is known about apropos interaction of these two, which will assist in optimizing the dose of ZnO NPs for their commercial use in agriculture. The current study aimed to investigate the growth, anatomical, and antioxidative responses of L. sativa against ZnO NPs and zinc acetate. ZnO NPs were foliar sprayed with concentrations of 0, 25, 50, and 100 ppm. ZnO NPs remarkably promoted L. sativa</
