Biogenic fabrication of zinc oxide nanoparticles for enhanced germination and early seedling establishment of rice under salinity stress
Salinity stress restricts rice ( Oryza sativa L. ) germination and early establishment through osmotic stress, ionic toxicity, and excessive reactive oxygen species production. Although ZnO nanoparticles (ZnONPs) can enhance salinity tolerance, the influence of their biological synthesis source on nanoparticle...
