The response of plants to copper oxide nanoparticles (nano-CuO) in presence of exogenous phytohormones is unknown. In this study, green pea (Pisum sativum) plants were cultivated to full maturity in soil amended with nano-CuO (10-100nm, 74.3% Cu), bulk-CuO (bCuO, 100-10,000nm, 79.7% Cu), and CuCl at 50 and 100mg/kg and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at 10 and 100μM. Results showed that IAA at 10 and 100μM, averaged over all Cu treatments, reduced the number of plants by ~23% and ~34%, respectively. IAA at 10μM, nano-CuO at 50mg/kg, b-CuO at 50mg/kg, and CuCl at 100mg/kg reduced pod biomass by about 50%. Although some combinations of IAA, mainly at 100μM, with the Cu compounds altered nutrient accumulation in tissues, none of them affected pod elements. Conversely, without IAA, nano-CuO at 50mg/kg, increased pod Fe and Ni by 258% and 325%, respectively, while bCuO at 100mg/kg increased pod Ni by 275%, compared with control. With IAA at 10μM, nano-CuO (100mg/kg) and bCuO (50mg/kg) increased stem Cu by ~84% and ~78%. When IAA increased to 100μM, nano-CuO and bCuO reduced stem Ca by 32% and 37%, and Mg by ~35%. Results suggest that both the nano-CuO and bCuO could improve the nutritional quality of pea pods, while exogenous IAA combined with Cu-based compounds could impact green pea production since these treatments reduced the number of plants and pod biomass.
植物对铜氧化物纳米颗粒(nano-CuO)在外源植物激素存在下的反应尚不清楚。在这项研究中,在添加纳米氧化铜(10-100nm,74.3%Cu)、块状氧化铜(bCuO,100-10000nm,79.7%Cu)和 CuCl 的土壤中种植完全成熟的豌豆(Pisum sativum)植株,浓度分别为 50 和 100mg/kg,吲哚-3-乙酸(IAA)浓度为 10 和 100μM。结果表明,IAA 在 10 和 100μM 时,平均所有 Cu 处理下,分别减少了约 23%和 34%的植物数量。IAA 在 10μM,纳米氧化铜在 50mg/kg,b-CuO 在 50mg/kg 和 CuCl 在 100mg/kg 下,豆荚生物量减少了约 50%。虽然 IAA 与 Cu 化合物的一些组合主要在 100μM 时改变了组织中的养分积累,但它们都没有影响豆荚的元素。相反,没有 IAA,纳米氧化铜在 50mg/kg 时,分别增加了 258%和 325%的豆荚铁和镍,而 bCuO 在 100mg/kg 时增加了 275%的豆荚镍,与对照相比。当 IAA 为 10μM 时,纳米氧化铜(100mg/kg)和 bCuO(50mg/kg)增加了约 84%和 78%的茎 Cu。当 IAA 增加到 100μM 时,纳米氧化铜和 bCuO 降低了茎 Ca 约 32%和 37%,以及约 35%的 Mg。结果表明,纳米氧化铜和 bCuO 均可提高豌豆豆荚的营养价值,而外源 IAA 与 Cu 基化合物结合使用可能会影响豌豆的产量,因为这些处理减少了植物数量和豆荚生物量。
