Zinc oxide, <100 nm particle size functions as a nitrate reductase activator, promoting plant growth and enhancing stress resistance. This compound significantly increases nitrate reductase activity and reduces free proline levels in maize, leading to improved plant height, root length, and dry matter weight. Its growth-promoting effects are comparable to traditional zinc sulfate fertilizers, while exhibiting a safe dosage threshold of 31.25 mg/kg in male and female Sprague Dawley rats. Higher doses may result in anemia-related symptoms and inflammatory damage in various tissues.
