Seed Priming with Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Raises Biomass Production and Agronomic Profile of Water-Stressed Flax Plants

The current study is a field experiment set out to comprehend significance of the iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles for use as seed priming agents and their subsequent impact in alleviating water stress improving agronomic profile flax plants. experimental layout consisted split-plot factorial design with one main plot divided into two subplots corresponding drought well-irrigated environment. Each was five rows plants raised from primed seeds. concentrations were 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 ppm. Seed increased stem diameter, length, height, fresh weights, dry weights plant. yield attributes, such number fruit branches, capsules, seeds per capsule, total stem’s fiber production, also predominantly improved. levels malondialdehyde hydrogen peroxide found decline by 66% 71%, respectively, upon priming, an enhancement activity antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) observed 28%, 56%, 39%, documenting potential particles mitigating stress.
