Titanium dioxide nanoparticles affect somatic embryo initiation, development, and biochemical composition in Paulownia sp. seedlings

Yasin Dumani et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the most appropriate concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles for inducing somatic embryogenesis and regeneration in Paulownia trees. The results showed significant effects of TiO2 on callus induction and somatic embryogenesis for different Paulownia species, with the highest levels of flavonoids, anthocyanins, and chlorophylls observed at a concentration of 60 mg/L of titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Increasing the concentration of TiO2 led to an increase in somatic embryo induction and regeneration, providing a novel protocol for propagating healthy Paulownia plantlets efficiently.
