Silicon Nanoparticles Decrease Arsenic Translocation and Mitigate Phytotoxicity in Tomato Plants

Abstract In this study we simulate the irrigation of tomato plants with As contaminated water (from 0 to 3.2 mg L -1 ) and investigate the effect of the application of silicon nanoparticle (Si NPs) in form of silicon dioxide (0, 250 and 1000 mg L -1 ) on As uptake and stress. Arsenics concentrations... View More
