Microwave Synthesis of Fe2 O3 and ZnO Nanoparticles and Evaluation Its Application on Grain Iron and Zinc Concentrations of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and their Relationships to Grain Yield

Fe2O3 and ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a fast microwave method.Nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.The goal of bio-fortification is to develop plants that have an increased content of bioavailable nutrients in their edible parts.The micronutrients magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn) and copper
