摘要

This study analyzed the possible impact of ZnO nanoparticles on wheat (Triticum) germination and maize (Zea mays) was examined in vivo systems. For this, the synthesis and characterization of the metal oxide nanoparticles were carried out by the chemical precipitation method, with its subsequent analysis by SEM, XRD and FTIR. The obtained results revealed an influence that varied depending on the concentration of the nanoparticles. As for the observed effects, it was found that the ZnO nanoparticles caused a decrease in lateral root growth in Zea mays, on Triticum germs did not affect root development. It should be noted that there is no inhibition of the growth of the radicle or the aerial biomass was observed at concentrations between 25 and 50 mg/L of metal oxide nanoparticles, as well as in foliar application there was a greater growth and widening of the leaves and stems.
