Pristine and sulfidized zinc oxide nanoparticles alter bacterial communities and metabolite profiles in soybean rhizocompartments

Chun Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of different forms of zinc exposure on bacterial communities and metabolite profiles in soybean rhizocompartments. Results showed that all three forms of zinc exposure significantly reduced bacterial diversity in roots and nodules, with higher doses having a greater effect. The bacterial community structure in the rhizosphere soil and roots showed the largest shifts at the highest dose of zinc sulfate and sulfidized zinc oxide nanoparticles treatments. Changes in bacterial taxa and metabolites were mainly associated with carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Metabolic pathways perturbed were closely linked to oxidative stress. Overall, this study demonstrates that both dissolved and nanoparticulate forms of zinc exposure at high doses can have a drastic effect on bacterial communities and metabolite profiles in soybean rhizocompartments.

Proteomic Analysis Unravels Response and Antioxidation Defense Mechanism of Rice Plants to Copper Oxide Nanoparticles: Comparison with Bulk Particles and Dissolved Cu Ions

Cheng Peng et al.

Summary: The increasing use of nanomaterials in agriculture poses environmental risks, but the impact of nanomaterials on plant proteins is still not well understood. This study investigated the effects of CuO nanoparticles (NPs), CuO bulk particles (BPs), and dissolved Cu ions on rice seedlings. The results showed that CuO NPs had greater Cu accumulation, higher ascorbate peroxidase activity, and altered protein expression compared to BPs and Cu ions. Specifically, proteins related to C2 domain, glutathione S-transferase, drug metabolism, ion transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and phagosome pathways were significantly affected by NPs. This proteomic analysis suggests that CuO NPs caused higher phytotoxicity and activated defense responses in rice seedlings.
