Popis: Increasing chromium (Cr) contamination in agricultural soils is a threat to crop yields and quality. Recently, nano-enabled strategies have been emerging with a great potential towards improving crop production and reclaiming the heavy metal contaminated soils. This study aimed to elucidate the potential of silicon oxide nanoparticles (SiONPs) on optimizing wheat growth and yield against Cr stress-induced phytotoxicity. Spherical crystalline SiONPs with the diameter in the range of 15-24 nm were applied at a dose of 250 mg kg
