Iron nanoparticles on growth and acclimatization of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. cv. "Jimba" in different culture systems

Abstract

In plant tissue culture, iron nanoparticles (KeNPs) was one of the first types of nano to be used in plants. Previous reports have identified the effect of FeNPs on many different plant species. In this study, FeNPs was used to replace Fe-EDTA in MS (Murashige, Skoog, 1962) medium to assess their effects on growth, chlorophyll (a, b and a+b) accumulation, anlioxidant activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes, and acclimatization in greenhouse conditions in different culture Systems (in vitro solid, in vitro hydroponic and microponic culture). The obtained results show that FcNPs added to MS medium was higher growth, chlorophyll (a, b and a+b) content antioxidant activity of SOD and APX enzymes than Fe-EDTA in MS medium as control treatment.
