摘要

The fast-growing use of nano-based products without proper care has led to a major public health concern. Nanomaterials contaminating the environment pose serious threat to the productivity of plants and via food chain to human health. Realizing these, four vegetable crops, radish, cucumber, tomato, and alfalfa, were exposed to varying concentrations of heavy metal oxide (TiO _(2) , ZnO, Al _(2) O _(3) and CuO) submicron or bulk (BPs) and nanoparticles (NPs) to assess their impact on relative seed germination (RSG), seed surface adsorption, root/shoot tolerance index (RTI/STI), bioaccumulation, and metallothioneins (MTs) production. The results revealed a clear inhibition of RSG, RTI, and STI, which, however, varied between species of metal-specific nanoparticles and plants. SEM and EDX analyses showed significant adsorption of MONP agglomerates on seed surfaces. The concentration of metals detected by EDX differed among vegetables. Among the metals, Al, Cu, Ti, and Zn were found maximum in alfalfa (12.46%), tomato (23.2%), cucumber (6.32%) and radish (21.74%). Of the four metal oxides, ZnO was found most inhibitory to all vegetables and was followed by CuO. The absorption/accumulation of undesirable levels of MONPs in seeds and seedlings differed with variation in dose rates, and was found to be maximum (1748–2254 μg g ~(?1) dry weight) in ZnO-NPs application. Among MONPs, the uptake of TiO _(2) was minimum (2 to 140 μg g ~(?1) ) in radish seedlings. The concentration of MTs induced by ZnO-NPs, ZnO-BPs, and CuO-NPs ranged between 52 and 136 μ mol MTs g ~(?1) FW in vegetal organs. Conclusively, the present findings indicated that both the nanosize and chemical composition of MONPs are equally dangerous for vegetable production. Hence, the accumulation of MONPs, specifically ZnO and CuO, in edible plant organs in reasonable amounts poses a potential environmental risk which, however, requires urgent attention to circumvent such toxic problems.
