Abstrakt: Weedy rice grows competitively with cultivated rice and significantly diminishes rice grain production worldwide. The different effects of Cu-based nanomaterials on the production of weedy and cultivated rice, especially the grain qualities are not known. Grains were collected from weedy and cultivated rice grown for four months in field soil amended with nanoscale CuO (nCuO), bulk CuO (bCuO), and copper sulfate (CuSO 4 ) at 0, 75, 150, 300, and 600 mg Cu/kg soil. Cu translocation, essential element accumulation, yield, sugar, starch, protein content, and the expression of auxin associated genes in grains were determined. The grains of weedy and cultivated rice were differentially impacted by CuO-based compounds. At ≥300 mg/kg, nCuO and bCuO treated rice had no grain production. Treatment at 75 mg/kg significantly decreased grain yield as compared to control with the order: bCuO (by 88.7%) > CuSO 4 (by 47.2%) ~ nCuO (by 38.3% only in cultivated rice); at the same dose, the Cu grain content was: nCuO ~ CuSO 4  > bCuO > control. In weedy grains, K, Mg, Zn, and Ca contents were decreased by 75 and 150 mg/kg nCuO by up to 47.4%, 34.3%, 37.6%, and 60.0%, but no such decreases were noted in cultivated rice, and Fe content was increased by up to 88.6%, and 53.2%. In rice spikes, nCuO increased Mg, Ca, Fe, and Zn levels by up to 118.1%, 202.6%, 133.8%, and 103.9%, respectively. Nanoscale CuO at 75 and 150 mg/kg upregulated the transcription of an auxin associated gene by 5.22- and 1.38-fold, respectively, in grains of weedy and cultivated rice. The biodistribution of Cu-based compounds in harvested grain was determined by two-photon microscopy. These findings demonstrate a cultivar-specific and concentration-dependent response of rice to nCuO. A potential use of nCuO at 75 and 150 mg/kg in cultivar-dependent delivery system was suggested based on enhanced grain nutritional quality, although the yield was compromised. This knowledge, at the physiological and molecular level, provides valuable information for the future use of Cu-based nanomaterials in sustainable agriculture.
