Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of nano titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPS), on seed germination and germination indices of Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) seed under drought stress. A factorial experiment was arranged based on a completely randomized design with three replicates to study the impacts of TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs: 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 ppm) on seed germination and seedling growth of grass pea under Polyethylene glycol (PEG) induced drought stress different (–0.00, –0.27, ‒0.53, and –0.80 MPa, respectively) were tried in a preliminary experiment. Our results revealed that PEG-stimulated drought stress significantly decreased germination percentage, germination energy, germination rate, root length, shoot length, root fresh weight, shoot fresh weight and vigor index but increased mean germination time in grass pea seeds. However, the application of TiO2 NPS protects Grass pea plants against drought stress and improves the Germination parameter, plant root length, shoot length, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight, root dry weight and shoot fresh weight in 20 ppm TiO2 NPS compared to control. Finally, In conclusion, the application of TiO2 NPS may protect Grass pea plants against drought stress by improving morphological growth.
