Plants & Nanoparticles

About our research project
"Exploring the impact of nanoparticles on productivity, metal uptake and iron metabolism of plants" is a scientific research project supported by the Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH) under project No. K115784 & K115913. The research is to be carried out during the years of 2016-2019. Press the link above to learn about the aims of our project.

Materials Science
The nature of our research is such that it has two equally important sides. One side deals with the preparation and characterization of nanoparticles - be that oxides, hydroxides, alloys or other forms of nanostructured matter - that may bear relevance in connection with plant metabolism. This side can well be classified as Materials Science. Enter this forum to access our related works and achievements.

Plant Physiology
An essential side of our research deals with plant physiological experiments that are performed in order to enable us to explore and understand nanoparticle-plant interactions and associated metal uptake and iron metabolism of plants. Enter this forum to access our related works and achievements.

Conferences & Appearances
Beside publishing our results in the form of papers, we share and exchange ideas in connection with our research typically at conferences. Enter this forum for a corresponding list of our past and future appearances.

Students' Works
Undergraduate and graduate students may participate in our scientific research by performing experiments and corresponding analysis of the observed results under supervision of a senior project participant. These works may result in theses submitted for university degrees as well as for the scientific competition & conference of undergraduate students.
