Summary: | Technogenic and natural nanomaterials are alien to living systems. The negative effect of nanomaterials may be due to their accumulation in intracellular organelles. The properties of nanoparticles are determined not only by their size, which manifests itself in the activation of a thermodynamic variable, but also by their chemical structure and shape, their ability to aggregate. The effect of metal nanoparticles and oxides of cobalt and titanium on the development and growth of plants has been studied. An important established fact is the ability of oxide nanoparticles, unlike metals themselves, to accumulate in living systems. Transmission electron microscopy, carried out by means of electron microscopic analysis, has revealed interstitial bioaccumulation of nanoparticles of cobalt oxide and titanium oxide in the form of aggregates 80-300 nm in size. If nanoparticles quickly aggregate, they are less dangerous for organisms than single nanoparticles, since a large aggregate of nanoparticles cannot get inside the cell. The rate and dynamics of deposition of nanoparticles of metals and their oxides in water are different. Metal NPs are deposited much more slowly than titanium dioxide. Moreover, the safety of NPs depends on their size and concentration. Biogenic nanoparticles with a size of 35-75 nm have high biological activity, biocompatibility and environmental safety. There is a direct correlation between the energy produced in cells, which is necessary for seed viability, and an increase in the number of protons under the action of metal nanoparticles, which leads to an increase in the permeability of cell membranes and the activity of enzymes and phytohormones. |
