The present study demonstrates the effect of nano-ZnO particles on growth
of mung bean (Vigna radiata) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum) seedlings. The
study was conducted in plant agar media to prevent precipitation of waterinsoluble nanoparticles in test units. Various concentrations of nano-ZnO
particles in suspension form were introduced to the agar media and its effect
on root and shoot growth of seedlings examined. Analytical techniques like
optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the
architecture of root. Inductive coupled plasma (ICP) was used to determine
the uptake of nano-ZnO particles by root. The best response of nano-ZnO on
mung bean was observed at 20 ppm and on chickpea at 1 ppm, beyond these
concentrations the seedling showed retardation in growth and development
thereby suggesting the toxic effect of nano-ZnO particles.
