Green-synthesized zinc and iron nanoparticles enhance basil drought tolerance via antioxidant regulation
Drought is a major abiotic constraint that disrupts growth, physiology, and metabolic balance in medicinal and aromatic plants. This study examined how green-synthesized zinc (Zn) oxide and iron (Fe) oxide nanoparticles (NPs) influence drought tolerance in basil ( Ocimum basilicum L.). A factorial greenhouse...
