Synthesis of palladium nanoparticles and investigation of its effect on the germination of Camelina sativa L.

Camelina oilseed plant (Camelina sativa L.) from the Brassicaceae family has many properties and applications in industry, pharmaceutical sciences, nutrition, human and livestock, and cosmetics industries. In this research, the aim is to synthesize and investigate the effect of palladium nanoparticles on the germination characteristics of the Camelina plant. The synthesis of palladium nanoparticles was confirmed by various FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and EDX analyses. We investigated the effect of different concentrations of palladium nanoparticles on some germination indicators including the number of germinated seeds, germination percentage, average germination time, root length, and stem length in vitro. The concentrations of palladium nanoparticles used, including the control group, ۵۰, ۱۰۰, and ۲۰۰ mg/liter, were implemented in the form of a completely randomized design in three replications. The results of this research showed that the concentrations of palladium nanoparticles significantly had negative effects on all traits. In general, the results showed that all levels of palladium nanoparticles harm the germination characteristics of camellia plants. Therefore, the indicators studied depend on the concentration, and at higher concentrations, more toxicity and less growth were observed.
