Article Abstract
Background: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) have been reported to have contrasting effects on plant physiology, while their effects on sugar, protein, and amino acid metabolism are poorly understood. In this work, we evaluated the effects of TiO NPs on physiological and agronomical traits of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedlings. Tomato seeds were treated with TiO NPs (1000 and 2000 mg L), TiO microparticles (µPs, 2000 mg L) as the size control, and ultrapure water as negative control.
Results: The dry matter of stems (DMs), leaves (DMl) and total dry matter (DMt) decreased as particle concentration increased. This trend was also observed in the maximum quantum yield of light-adapted photosystem II (PSII) (F´/F´), the effective quantum yield of PSII (ΦPSII), and net photosynthesis (P). The concentrations of sugars, total soluble proteins, and total free amino acids were unaffected, but there were differences in the daily dynamics of these compounds among the treatments.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that treating tomato seeds with TiO might affect PSII performance, net photosynthesis and decrease biomass production, associated with a concentration- and size-related effect of TiO particles.

The emergence of new types of pollutants and the increase of anthropogenic load on the environment provoked an increased interest of researchers to study the toxic effects of pollutants on living organisms. This study is devoted to investigate the physiological response of the Black Sea phytoplankton community to the effects of ZnO, CuO and TiO nanoparticles (NPs) of different concentrations by creating in vitro model microcosms. Trends of changes in the ratio between phytoplankton groups (cyanobacteria-picoeukaryotic algae-nano-microphytoplankton), species composition, growth rates and functional state of cells under the influence of the studied nanoparticles were revealed.

Rational optimization of the pore size and topology of porous nanocarriers is crucial for improving the loading amount of luminophore and enhancing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance. In this study, an equimolar linear ligand replacement strategy was employed to synthesize novel mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for encapsulating Ru(bpy) (Ru@Zr MOFs) under room temperature without an acid modulator. Ingenious ligand substitution allows precise control of pore size, enabling encapsulation at the single-molecule level within mesoporous cages.

The increasing use of titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles (NPs) has raised concerns related to their environmental accumulation and the associated ecological risks. Understanding the key biomolecular responses of TiO₂ NP-tolerant organisms like Physarum flavicomum GD217 is essential for combating the pollution of and exposure to these NPs. In this study, we employed multi-omics approaches combined with molecular biology techniques to investigate the stress responses of GD217 to mixed-phase TiO₂ NPs (M-TiO₂ NPs).

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) are well suited for cosmetics and polymer films because they efficiently absorb UV light while remaining transparent to visible light. Their widespread use requires strategies for managing potential human and environmental risks. Implementing the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) methodology to advanced chemicals and materials is a major global challenge and a concept that is included in several EU research projects.
