Absence of Nanoparticle-Induced Drought Tolerance in Nutrient Sufficient Wheat Seedlings.

Strategies to reduce crop losses due to drought are needed as climate variability affects agricultural productivity. Wheat ( var. Juniper) growth in a nutrient-sufficient, solid growth matrix containing varied doses of CuO, ZnO, and SiO nanoparticles (NPs) was used to evaluate NP mitigation of drought stress.
