This study demonstrates improved grapevine growth under lead stress using selenium-coated chitosan nanoparticles, indicating sustainable agricultural potential.
Key Points
The application of selenium-coated chitosan nanoparticles significantly increased biomass and photosynthetic capacity in grapevine under lead toxicity.
Experiments revealed enhanced levels of proline, phenols, and essential metals, while lead content and cellular stress markers were reduced.
The use of CTS-Se nanoparticles suggests promising implications for stress resilience and improved crop yields in grapevines.
These findings support the potential for utilizing innovative nanomaterials in sustainable agricultural practices, reducing reliance on chemical inputs.
