Now-a-days the need for the manufacturing of engineered nanomaterials increases due to their performance, efficiency and decrease of total weigh in the applications they are used. However, not always large scale manufacturers or even small scale...

The effect of short-term seed treatments with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs, 0 – 500 µg seed-1 during 36 h) on germination and seedling development of soybean was studied. CNTs decreased speed of the water uptake by soybean seeds and therefore reduced imbibition damages, which finally improved germination rate. However, at 8 days after sowing and even after 23 days of growth on a...

Parallel session 3B: Ecotoxicology, effects on ecosystem services & ecological risks
The increase in the production of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) has prompted concerns about their environmental release into and their impact on human health. Consumption of plants that have come in contact with nanomaterials is the most likely route by which humans could be exposed. Collaborative study of ENM accumulation in plants is underway with research efforts focused on an array of...

Abstract: High-throughput gene expression tools can help understanding the mechanisms of toxic-mediated responses. Further, one of the main aims is to establish the link between alterations in macromolecules (genes, proteins) and their biological implications at higher levels (reproduction). Such data can be integrated via Adverse Outcome Pathways(AOPs) approach, and provide input towards a...
