Abstract Salinity is a worldwide issue of intimidating land productivity and the production of food. Seed priming can be an effective approach to enhance the performance of seedlings growing in salinity stressed conditions. The present investigation examined whether the ZnO-nano priming (ZnONPs; 50, 100 and 500 mg L−1) has a role in the alleviation of the salt-induced toxicity of Triticum aestivum L. plants grown under 150 mM NaCl. Treatment with all concentrations of ZnONPs significantly improved wheat growth biomarkers. Furthermore, salt-induced alterations of growth, photosynthetic pigments, photosynthetic efficiency, and leaf ultrastructure were lesser upon ZnO-nano priming. Besides, ZnO-nano priming induced various changes in electrophoretic profiles of shoot proteins.

ZnO 纳米粒子引发种子对小麦 (Triticum aestivum L.) 植物盐诱导损伤的影响

摘要 盐度是威胁土地生产力和粮食生产的世界性问题。种子引发可以是提高在盐胁迫条件下生长的幼苗性能的有效方法。本研究检查了 ZnO 纳米引发剂（ZnONPs；50、100 和 500 mg L-1）是否在减轻在 150 mM NaCl 下生长的普通小麦植物的盐诱导毒性中起作用。用所有浓度的 ZnONPs 处理显着改善了小麦生长生物标志物。此外，盐诱导的生长、光合色素、光合效率和叶片超微结构的改变在 ZnO 纳米引发后较小。此外，ZnO-纳米引发引发了芽蛋白电泳图谱的各种变化。
