Abstract

The mitigation of salinity stress by Mn 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) has been reported in plants, yet their integrated effects on tomato─spanning seed germination, vegetative growth, fruit yield, and underlying molecular mechanisms─remain largely unexplored. This study employed physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses to systematically evaluate tomato responses to 100 mM NaCl stress following Mn 3 O 4 NP application. Seed priming with 100 mg/L Mn 3 O 4 NPs significantly enhanced the germination rate by 103.02% ( p
