Assessment Of The Phytotoxicity Of Gold Nanoclusters On Soybean

In this work, the effect of gold clusters on seed germination and physiological changes in soybean was assessed. The results show that seed germination was were promoted by gold clusters solution. However, with the increase of gold clusters concentration, the root length and steam length of soybean decreased trough seed germination. Meanwhile, the fresh and try weight of soybean also decreased. The further study found that content of MDA in soybean increased obviously, and the content of soluble sugar in soybean decreased obviously under the stress of high concentration gold cluster solution.
