Natural SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2-NPs) are widely distributed in the environment, and at the same time, synthetic SiO2-NP may be applied in agriculture. Evaluations of physiological responses to SiO2-NPs treatment of plants are controversial. They are often performed at adaxial leaf sides whereas NPs permeate leaf tissues through stomata located at the abaxial leaf side in the majority of bifacial plants. We measured coefficients of the functional dorsoventral asymmetry of NPs-stressed Chelidonium majus leaves, S, by values of the CO2 assimilation rate (SP N), dark respiration (SR), maximal and operating quantum yields of photosystem II (SFv/Fm, SFv'/Fm'; using PAM-fluorometry), and oxygen coefficients of photosynthesis (SΨO2; using photoacoustics). The results indicated that SP N and SΨO2 were significantly influenced by SiO2-NPs treatment, since P N and ΨO2 were declining more markedly when the light was directed to the abaxial side of leaves compared to the adaxial side. Overall, SiO2-NPs-induced stress increased 'anoxygenity' of photosynthesis.
