The application of selenium and chitosan-se nanoparticles showed positive effects in alleviating the negative impacts of cadmium stress on plants, enhancing agronomic traits, photosynthetic pigments, and antioxidant enzyme activities, with the best results seen at a concentration of 5 mg L-1.
In view of damaging impacts of cadmium (Cd) toxicity on various vital processes of plants and strategies for alleviating these effects, selenium (Se) application has been recently achieved great attention. In addition, chitosan (CS) and its nano-form, besides many positive effects on plants, could be considered as an excellent adsorption matrix and a carrier for a wide range of materials like Se with various applications in agricultural sector. For that point, the combination nano-form of Se and CS (CS-Se NPs), using CS as a carrier and control releaser for Se, could enhance Se efficiency particularly at lower doses under stress conditions. Therefore, Se (10 mg L-1), CS (0.1%) and CS-Se NPs (in two concentrations; 5 and 10 mg L-1) were applied on Moldavian balm plant under 0, 2.5 and 5 mg kg(-1) Cd-stress conditions. The results demonstrated that mostly Se and CS-Se NPs treatments could lessen negative effects of Cd-stress conditions through enhancing agronomic traits, photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and SPAD, proline, phenols, antioxidant enzymes activities and some dominant constituents of essential oils and decreasing MDA and H2O2. These encouraging impacts were more significant at lower dose of CS-Se NPs (5 mg L-1) introducing it as the best treatment to ameliorate Moldavian balm performance under Cd-stress conditions. In conclusion, CS-Se NPs could be considered as a supportive approach in plant production mainly under different heavy metal stressful conditions and probably a potential plant growth promoting and stress protecting agent with new outlooks for applying in agricultural sector.
