Abstract
, the antioxidant enzyme systems of lettuce were triggered to counteract the damage caused by excessive ROS. Moreover, ZnO QDs at this level promoted Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, and B absorption and accumulation; increased soluble sugar content; and improved the lettuce biomass and nutritional quality.
