Fe 3 O 4 nanozyme as a novel plant growth promoter for enhancing salt tolerance in cucumber seedlings: integrated analysis of growth physiology and transcriptional metabolism
This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Fe3O4 nanozyme in promoting salt tolerance in cucumber seedlings.
Application of Fe3O4 nanozyme to cucumber seedlings under salt stress conditions
Assessment of growth physiology, including ion balance and ROS levels
Analysis of transcriptional changes related to metabolic pathways
Fe3O4 nanozyme significantly reduces ROS levels in cucumber seedlings.
Improved ion homeostasis and accumulation of osmolytes were observed.
Regulation of the phenylpropanoid pathway enhanced cell membrane stability.
Abstract
FNPs-G alleviates salt stress in cucumber by scavenging ROS, maintaining ion homeostasis, accumulating osmolytes, and regulating the phenylpropanoid pathway to enhance cell membrane stability.
