Abstract:
Arsenic (As) is one of the most hazardous metalloids for plants, however, little is understood about the role of silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) in improving rice tolerance under As toxicity. An experiment was conducted in 2020 at Islamshahr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Islamshahr, Iran, to examine the impacts of As (50 M) and Si-NPs (50 and 100 mg/L) on rice growth, chlorophyll and proline metabolism, antioxidant defense system, ionic homeostasis, and expression of Si/As transporters under hydroponic conditions. The results showed that Si-NPs by boosting the activities of antioxidant enzymes, diminished hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion, and hence, protected the photosynthetic apparatus and enhanced plant growth during As toxicity. Si-NPs increased Si uptake and declined As uptake in As-treated seedlings by adjusting the relative expression of Si/As transporters (Lsi1, Lsi2, Lsi6). Si-NPs maintained ionic homeostasis under As stress by increasing the uptake of mineral nutrients. In general, Si-NPs increased rice growth and biomass during As toxicity, which might be exploited to develop effective fertilizers to improve crop growth and yield in As-contaminated areas.
