Флавоноиды представляют собой перспективный класс природных биостимуляторов роста растений, однако их индивидуальное влияние на физиолого-биохимические параметры сельхозкультур требует детального изучения. Помимо непосредственного регулирующего действия на метаболизм растений, эти соединения, благодаря своей восстановительной активности и способности к хелатированию ионов металлов, могут использоваться в качестве эффективных агентов для «зеленого» синтеза наночастиц, что открывает возможность создания микроудобрений с комбинированным действием. Данная работа является первым этапом двухэтапной стратегии, направленной на создание микроудобрений на основе наночастиц металлов, синтезированных с использованием флавоноидов в качестве восстанавливающих и стабилизирующих агентов. В работе представлены результаты сравнительного анализа влияния шести флавоноидов (кверцетин, катехин, таксифолин, лютеолин, формононетин, рутин) на ростовые параметры, фотосинтетический аппарат и антиоксидантную систему яровой пшеницы (Triticum aestivum L.). Установлено, что все соединения стимулируют накопление биомассы корней, однако наиболее сбалансированное положительное воздействие на комплекс изученных показателей оказывают формононетин и кверцетин. Данные флавоноиды достоверно увеличивали длину корней на 24,9% и 18,9% соответственно наряду с содержанием хлорофиллов, активностью супероксиддисмутазы, при этом не вызывали существенного окислительного стресса. Катехин, напротив, ингибировал развитие корней и снижал содержание пигментов. Полученные результаты позволяют рекомендовать формононетин и кверцетин для дальнейшего использования в качестве агентов «зеленого синтеза» наночастиц металлов.

Flavonoids represent a promising class of natural plant growth biostimulants, however, their individual effects on the physio-biochemical parameters of agricultural crops require detailed investigation. In addition to their direct regulatory action on plant metabolism, these compounds, owing to their reducing activity and ability to chelate metal ions, can be used as effective agents for the «green» synthesis of nanoparticles, which creates an opportunity to develop micronutrient fertilizers with combined action. The present study constitutes the first stage of a two-stage strategy aimed at producing micronutrient fertilizers based on metal nanoparticles synthesized using flavonoids as reducing and stabilizing agents. This work presents the results of a comparative analysis of the effects of six flavonoids (quercetin, catechin, taxifolin, luteolin, formononetin, rutin) on growth parameters, the photosynthetic apparatus, and the antioxidant system of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). It was found that all compounds stimulated root biomass accumulation, however, formononetin and quercetin exerted the most balanced positive effect on the overall set of studied indicators. These flavonoids significantly increased root length by 24,9% and 18,9%, respectively, along with chlorophyll content and superoxide dismutase activity, while not inducing substantial oxidative stress. Catechin, in contrast, inhibited root development and reduced pigment content. The obtained results allow formononetin and quercetin to be recommended for further use as agents for the “green synthesis” of metal nanoparticles.
