Abstract

In order to investigate the effects of different types of nano-fertilizers on some of the physiological characteristics of saffron (i.e. antioxidant ENZYMEs, reducing and non-reducing SUGARs, photosynthetic pigments, total phenol content and relative water content of leaf) the current experiment was conducted at the Malayer University during the 2014-2015 growing season. The study was performed based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with six treatments and three replications. The experimental treatments were control and five different types of nano-fertilizers (iron: Fe, boron: B, manganese: Mn, potassium: K and zinc: Zn). The effects of experimental treatments on relative water content, protein and total phenol content, reducing and non-reducing SUGARs were significant. However, there was no significant effect on CHLOROPHYLL b, leaf carotenoids, Catalase and Proxidase activity. Although the difference between nano-fertilizers and control treatment for CHLOROPHYLL a and also total CHLOROPHYLL was not significant the highest amount of CHLOROPHYLL a (1.53 mg.g-1 Fw) was measured in the Fe treatment and the lowest amount (0.93 mg.g-1 Fw) was observed in the Mn treatment. Based on the results, all of the experimental treatment increased the relative water content of leaf compared with control. The highest amount of total phenol content (0.27 mg.g-1 FW) with 10.5% increase compared to control was observed in Mn treatment and just the difference of this treatment with the control treatment was significant. By the application of Zn, Mn, K and B nanofertilizer leaf protein content was significantly increased when compared with the control treatment whereas the difference between Fe and control was not significant. The highest concentration of leaf protein (1.56 mg.g-1 Fw) with 12% increase compared to control treatment was observed in the K and B treatments whereas the lowest concentration of leaf protein (1.36 mg.g-1 Fw) with 3% decrease compared to control was related to the Fe treatment. The different response of the studied characteristics to application of various nano-fertilizer showed that different physiological traits did not have a similar sensitivity to all of the mineral nutrients. Therefore, application of entire nanofertilizers with the same concentration is not scientifically recommendable.
