Background: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) have been reported to have contrasting effects on plant physiology, while their effects on sugar, protein, and amino acid metabolism are poorly understood. In this work, we evaluated the effects of TiO NPs on physiological and agronomical traits of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedlings. Tomato seeds were treated with TiO NPs (1000 and 2000 mg L), TiO microparticles (µPs, 2000 mg L) as the size control, and ultrapure water as negative control.
Results: The dry matter of stems (DMs), leaves (DMl) and total dry matter (DMt) decreased as particle concentration increased. This trend was also observed in the maximum quantum yield of light-adapted photosystem II (PSII) (F´/F´), the effective quantum yield of PSII (ΦPSII), and net photosynthesis (P). The concentrations of sugars, total soluble proteins, and total free amino acids were unaffected, but there were differences in the daily dynamics of these compounds among the treatments.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that treating tomato seeds with TiO might affect PSII performance, net photosynthesis and decrease biomass production, associated with a concentration- and size-related effect of TiO particles.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementia in humans that today concerns 50 million individuals worldwide and will affect more than 100 million people in 2050. Except for familial AD cases (<5% of AD patients) for which AD pathology connects to mutations in critical genes involved in the processing of the amyloid precursor protein into neurotoxic Aß peptides, it remains unknown what provokes the overproduction and deposition of Aß peptides in the brain of sporadic AD cases (>95% of AD patients). Some nanosized materials, e.

There is a growing interest in the development of methods for the detection of nanoparticle (NP) toxicity to living organisms based on the analysis of relevant multidimensional data sets. In particular the detection of preliminary signs of NPs toxicity effects would benefit from the selection of data featuring NPs-induced alterations of biological barriers. Accordingly, we present an original Topological Data Analysis (TDA) of the nanomechanical properties of Escherichia coli cell surface, evaluated by multiparametric Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) after exposure of the cells to increasing concentrations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiONPs).

Added electrons and holes in semiconducting (nano)materials typically occupy "trap states," which often determine their photophysical properties and chemical reactivity. However, trap states are usually ill-defined, with few insights into their stoichiometry or structure. Our laboratory previously reported that aqueous colloidal TiO nanoparticles prepared from TiCl + HO have two classes of electron trap states, termed and .

Background: In recent years, titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in various industries due to their favorable chemical properties, and their contamination of the environment has attracted much attention, especially to aquatic animals.
Methods: Therefore, we assessed the impact of TiO NPs (5 mg/L) on the marine bivalve, pearl oyster (), especially gill metabolism. Pearl oysters were exposed to seawater containing 5 mg/L TiO NPs for 14 days, followed by 7 days of recovery in untreated seawater.

Chemical control of head blight (FHB) in wheat plants is often challenged by the resistance outbreak and deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation. Developing green partners for fungicides is crucial for reducing fungal growth, mycotoxin contamination, and agricultural fungicides input. Herein, we investigated the mechanism of MgO nanoparticles (NPs) in controlling FHB.
