Beneficial dose-dependent effects of Ag nanoparticles on germination do not compromise growth and metabolic profiles of Capsicum annuum seedlings

This study evaluates the effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a nanopriming agent and their potential detrimental impacts on growth and physiology in wild and domesticated chili (Capsicum annuum) seeds. We compared the responses of wild (C. annuum var. glabriusculum) and domesticated (Serrano)...
