Dynamic Transformation of Nano-MoS₂ in a Soil–Plant System Empowers Its Multifunctionality on Soybean Growth

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 58(2), P. 1211 - 1222

Published: Jan. 4, 2024

Molybdenum disulfide (nano-MoS2) nanomaterials have shown great potential for biomedical and catalytic applications due to their unique enzyme-mimicking properties. However, agricultural been largely unexplored. A key factor prior the application of nano-MoS2 in agriculture is understanding its behavior a complex soil–plant system, particularly terms transformation. Here, we investigate distribution transformation two types (MoS2 nanoparticles MoS2 nanosheets) soil–soybean system through combination synchrotron radiation-based X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS). We found that (NPs) transform dynamically soil plant tissues, releasing molybdenum (Mo) sulfur (S) can be incorporated gradually into enzymes involved nitrogen metabolism antioxidant while rest remain intact act as nanozymes. Notably, there 247.9 mg/kg organic Mo nodule, only 49.9 NPs. This study demonstrates it leads multifunctionality MoS2, which improve biological fixation (BNF) growth. Therefore, NPs enable 30% increase yield compared traditional fertilizer (Na2MoO4). Excessive nanosheets (NS) overaccumulation sulfate plant, damages nodule function yield. The highlights importance future studies.

Efficient delivery of nanoparticles (NPs) to plants is important for agricultural application. However, date, we still lack knowledge about how NPs' charge matters its translocation pathway, i.e., symplastic and apoplastic pathways, in plants. In this study, synthesized used negatively charged citrate sourced carbon dots (C-CDs, −37.97 ± 1.89 mV), Cy5 coated C-CDs (Cy5-C-CDs, −41.90 2.55 positively PEI (P-CDs, +43.03 1.71 P-CDs (Cy5-P-CDs, +48.80 1.21 mV) investigate the role surface charges coatings on employed pathways (symplastic pathways) NPs Our results showed that, different from higher fluorescence intensity Cy5-P-CDs extracellular than intracellular space, Cy5-C-CDs was similar between space cucumber cotton roots. It suggests that CDs were translocated via both but mainly pathway. Furthermore, our root applied demonstrated leaf did (8.09 0.99 vs 3.75 0.23) (7.27 1.06 3.23 0.22), indicating have a efficiency do CDs. should be noted not affect cell activities, ROS level, photosynthetic performance cotton, showing good biocompatibility.
