Abstract
Marigold (calendula arvensis L.) as a medicinal herb with many health benefits, has always been a human concern. The effectiveness of medicinal herbs is a result of secondary metabolism, and any stress or outside factors could affect their metabolism process. On the other hand, dioxide titanium (Tio2) is an effective nanoparticle for photosynthesis. In the current study, the potential effects of spraying Tio2 nanoparticles on effective ingredients of marigold have been investigated. The effect of Tio2 nanoparticles on the plant qualitative characteristics is investigated in five different levels (i.e. zero, bulk, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 percent) and two growth stages (i.e. four leaves and flowering stages). The experiment was performed based on a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four repeats. The various concentrations of Tio2 nanoparticles in two growth stages of four leaves and flowering had a significant effect on qualitative characters such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme, malondialdehyde (MDA) biomarkers, and quantitative character of the number of flowers in various concentrations of solution spraying with Tio2. Generally, utilization of a higher number of nanoparticles improved the antioxidant enzyme and destroying biomarkers, and decreased the number of flowers in the plant. This increased level of enzymes is one of the beneficial results of spraying plants with higher levels of nanoparticles.
