Abstract Nanotechnology has greatly expanded the applications of nanoparticles (NPs) domain in the scientific field. In
this context, the zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) has been revealed to positively
regulate plant metabolism and growth. In the present study, we investigated the role of ZnO-NPs and EBL in the
regulation of plant growth, photosynthetic efficiency, enzymes activities and fruit yield in tomato. Foliar treatment of
ZnO-NPs at three levels (10, 50 or 100 ppm) and EBL (10−8 M) were applied separately or in combination to the
foliage of plant at 35–39 days after sowing (DAS); and… More >
