Comparative physiological and metabolomic analyses revealed that foliar spraying with zinc oxide and silica nanoparticles modulates metabolite profiles in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Abstract Previous studies have reported crop toxicity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) by root exposure and that silica nanoparticles (SiO2‐NPs) modulate crop growth and soil physicochemical properties. In this study, we determined the effects of foliar exposure to ZnO‐NPs and SiO2‐NPs on the g...
