ZIF-90-Luminol (ZIF-90L) nanofertilizer enhances rice seedling growth under zinc-deficient hydroponic conditions, improving shoot and root elongation and biomass at 0.01–0.1 ppm zinc equivalent.
- Why it matters: Conventional fertilizers reduce nutrient use efficiency and harm the environment, while zinc deficiency limits plant growth; a stable, uptake-friendly zinc source is needed alongside ways to monitor plant stress.
- What they did: The authors synthesized zinc-based ZIF-90 and postsynthetically functionalized ZIF-90L, tested thermal/chemical stability and sustained zinc release, and evaluated plant uptake in hydroponics under zinc-deficient conditions.
- The result: ZIF-90LD, incorporating 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, produced a fluorescence signal linked to reactive oxygen species detection, supporting development of a plant ROS-monitoring platform.
