ABSTRACT

The aim of this research was to determine the impact of chemically synthesized copper nanoparticles of five different concentrations (1, 2, 5, 10 and 100pm) on in vitroseed germination and biochemical profiling of Wheat PBW677. No significant reduction was observed in germination percentage of wheat at all concentration, however morphological data including shoot length, root length, leaf length found to increase at very low concentration of Cu-NPs (up to 10ppm) whereas average root number showed major increase at 100ppm. Application of Cu-NPs on wheat seedling showed significant changes in its biochemical profiling. Total phenol content (TPC) and Total ascorbic acid (TAC) were maximum at100ppm whereas total flavonoid content (TFC) showed significant increase at 5ppm as compared to control. Chlorophyll content decreases with increase in Cu-NPs concentration in comparison to control. Further maximum carotenoids content was observed at 2ppm concentration of Cu-NPs.
