Article Synopsis
- Metal oxide nanoparticles, specifically copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs), were developed to combat root rot disease in cucumbers, showing promising results in laboratory, greenhouse, and field tests.
- Characterization techniques like SEM, XRD, and PL confirmed the nanoparticles' properties, with average sizes around 25.54 to 25.83 nm.
- Treatment with CuONPs not only reduced disease incidence and improved cucumber growth and yield but also enhanced the plants' defense mechanisms by increasing enzyme activity and gene expression compared to untreated controls.
This study was conducted to evaluate eco-friendly control agents (carvone, cuminaldehyde, and linalool) against which causes root rot disease either by induction of defense response or direct antifungal activity. The induction of resistance was examined by detecting the transcription of defense genes and the effect of the tested control agents on the growth and the yield of common bean plants. The growth of was significantly inhibited after treatment with the tested compounds compared to the untreated control under laboratory conditions.
