Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on the Pepper huasteco yellow vein virus (PHYVV), which causes significant losses in jalapeño pepper crops in Mexico.
- Treatment with ZnO NPs showed promising results, significantly reducing symptoms and viral levels in pepper plants, especially at a concentration of 200 mM, with effects varying by treatment timing and pepper variety.
- Findings hint that ZnO NPs enhance plant resistance by altering certain enzyme levels (POD, SOD, CAT, and PAL), highlighting the potential for using nanotechnology to manage viral infections in crops.
