Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plant growing has many problems such as its high cost, low yielding and demanded quality. The solution is highly desired in the modern agriculture. TiO2 photocatalyst is low cost and safe material as well as shows the anti-bacteria and purification properties. In our research, we introduced photocatalystic nanoparticles to plant and studied the effect of plant growing. As a result, the oxidative stress was inhibited after introducing of TiO2 nanoparticles into the plant.
