Key Findings
- The study by Yasouj University in Iran explored using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to control bacterial blight in 27 wheat cultivars
- AgNPs increased soluble protein content and antioxidant enzyme activities in wheat, enhancing disease resistance
- The findings suggest AgNPs can improve wheat resilience and yield stability, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical treatments
