For this reason, the objective of this study was to report the impact of different concentrations of selenium (Se) and copper (Cu) NPs on yield, antioxidant capacity, and quality of tomato fruit. The different concentrations of Se and Cu NPs were applied to the substrate every 15 days (five applications). The yield was determined until day 102 after the transplant. Non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidant compounds were determined in the leaves and fruits as well as the fruit quality at harvest. The results indicate that tomato yield was increased by up to 21% with 10 mg L\u22121 of Se NPs. In leaves, Se and Cu NPs increased the content of chlorophyll, vitamin C, glutathione, 2,2\u2032-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazolin-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and phenylalanine ammonia liasa (PAL). In fruits, they increased vitamin C, glutathione, flavonoids, firmness, total soluble solids, and titratable acidity. The combination of Se and Cu NPs at optimal concentrations could be a good alternative to improve tomato yield and quality, but more studies are needed to elucidate their effects more clearly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants8100355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,20]],"date-time":"2019-09-20T02:51:11Z","timestamp":1568947871000},"page":"355","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":161,"title":["Impact of Selenium and Copper Nanoparticles on Yield, Antioxidant System, and Fruit Quality of Tomato Plants"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5366-4802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hip\u00f3lito","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Agroingenier\u00eda, Universidad del Papaloapan, Loma Bonita, Oaxaca 68400, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomasa","family":"Quiterio-Guti\u00e9rrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maestr\u00eda en Ciencias en Horticultura, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Agraria Antonio Narro, Saltillo, Coahuila 25315, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2692-4995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregorio","family":"Cadenas-Pliego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Saltillo, Coahuila 25294, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8869-6385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hortensia","family":"Ortega-Ortiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Qu\u00edmica Aplicada, Saltillo, Coahuila 25294, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alma Delia","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-Fuentes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ciencias Agropecuarias, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma del Estado de Hidalgo, Tulancingo, Hidalgo 43600, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcelino","family":"Cabrera de la Fuente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Horticultura, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Agraria Antonio Narro, Saltillo, Coahuila 25315, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Vald\u00e9s-Reyna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Bot\u00e1nica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Agraria Antonio Narro, Saltillo, Coahuila 25315, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3061-2297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Ju\u00e1rez-Maldonado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Bot\u00e1nica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Agraria Antonio Narro, Saltillo, Coahuila 25315, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nut.2016.05.001","article-title":"Selenium nanoparticles as a nutritional supplement","volume":"33","author":"Skalickova","year":"2017","journal-title":"Nutrition"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Luettge, U., and Beyschlag, W.
