Toxicity of TiO₂ Nanoparticles in the Genomic DNA of Cucurbita pepo http://digitalcommons.utep.edu/couri_abstracts_spring12/48 http://digitalcommons.utep.edu/couri_abstracts_spring12/48 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:09:52 PDT The nanomaterial industry is growing very fast and nanoparticles (NPs) are used in variety of instruments and goods. NPs can reach the plants through different manners; though, little is known about their impact on food crops and the possible effects in the food chain are unknown. In this research, the possible genotoxic effects of TiO2 NPs on zucchinis (Cucurbita pepo) were studied. Seven-day old hydroponically grown zuchinnis plants were treated for 7 days with TiO₂ NPs suspended in the nutrient solution at concentrations varying from 0 to 50 mg/L. Random amplified polymorphic DNA assay was performed and showed the disappearence of new disappearance of three bands and appearance of four new bands in the treated plants compared to the controls, indicating a change in the DNA caused by the NPs.
