Nanotechnology covers the integration or manipulation of individual atoms, molecules or molecular masses to a diverse array of structures allowing the production of new characteristics and traits of interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of foliar application of TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles on quantitative traits (plant height, number of branches, dry weight of shoots and roots) and the essential oil content of thyme under different levels of field capacity. Our results showed that the application of TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles had significant effects on thyme growth, while the essential oil concentrations not affected. These results imply that the application of TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles in plants increase agronomic value under reduced irrigation conditions but has not different significant on essential oil.</p> </div> <!--[endif] -->}, number={1}, journal={Potravinarstvo Slovak Journal of Food Sciences}, author={Fazeli-Nasab, Bahman and Rossello, Josep Antoni and Mokhtarpour, Amir}, year={2018}, month={Aug.}, pages={622–627} }
