Green synthesis of iron oxide (hematite) nanoparticles and their influence on sorghum bicolor growth under drought stress
Ndou, Nzumbululo; Rakgotho, Tessia; Nkuna, Mulisa (MDPI, 2023)Drought is a major abiotic stress that confronts plant growth and productivity, thus compromising food security. Plants use physiological and biochemical mechanisms to cope with drought stress, but at the expense of ... -
Green-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles mitigate salt stress in sorghum bicolor
Rakgotho, Tessia; Ndou, Nzumbululo; Mulaudzi, Takalani (MDPI, 2022)Salinity is an abiotic stress that is responsible for more than 50% of crop losses worldwide. Current strategies to overcome salinity in agriculture are limited to the use of genetically modified crops and chemicals ...
