Transcriptome analysis of cucumber roots
Here we synthesized and characterized MgFe-layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (MgFe-LDHs), and demonstrated at 1-10 mg/L improved cucumber seed germination and water uptake, with 10 mg/L optimally enhancing emergence and seedling growth under cold stress via root application. Irrigation with 10 mg/L MgFe-LDHs(LDH) at sowing enhanced root length by 12.5%, lateral root number by 45%, root fresh weight by 150.8%, aboveground fresh weight by 31.3%, and hypocotyl length by 51.7% under chilling injury. we aim to provide an approach to develop and utilizate of LDHs-based nano iron fertilizer.
