Complexation and immobilization of arsenic in maize using green synthesized silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs)

Abstract Arsenic (As) is a heavy metal that is toxic to both plants and animals. Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) can alleviate the detrimental effects of heavy metals on plants, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The study aims to synthesize SiNPs and reveal how they promote plant health in...
