Zinc oxide nanocatalyst mediates cadmium and lead toxicity tolerance mechanism by differential regulation of photosynthetic machinery and antioxidant enzymes level in cotton seedlings

Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) heavy metal pollution induced toxicity severely affects the plant growth and yield of various agriculutral crops worldwide. The present study discuss the prime role of phycomolecules coated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) application on development of heavy metal toleran...
