Abstract
Nanoparticles (NP) are one of the nanomaterials that are engineered and are also bioactive with brilliant physiochemical properties. These may be used for the restoration of plants grown at sites of dangerous waste, both morphologically and physiologically. However, it is still unclear whether the nanoparticles improve the osmotic pressure and protein restoration in rice grown under aluminium toxic soil or not. We investigated the effect of nanoparticles on the osmotic pressure and protein restoration in rice grown under aluminium toxic soil. We found that the Osmotic Potential was increased by 8.39% in T6 in leaves at 90 days after treatment (DAT). The Total Soluble protein content was increased by 14.99% in T6 in the leaf sample.
