PLANT BIONICS: A STEP TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN AREA OF PLANT SCIENCE

Abstract

Plant bionics is a possible way to improve the natural plant system to handle the problem of urbanization, population explosion, food insecurity and for the betterment of human health safety and environment. Plant bionics is a specialized interdisciplinary science, which revolutionize the traditional plant research. This approach may also play a major role in replacement or modification of characters and functions of natural plant systems. Roots, stems, leaves and vascular networking system of plants are responsible for transmitting the chemical signals, metabolic activities, growth and functional activities. Now scientists are able to explore the unlimited possibilities of carbon nanotubes in biological and medical applications. Carbon nanotubes can append peptides, sugars, lipids DNA and RNA. These biologically transformed conjugates can be very handy to tackle the problem of reducing natural resources and medical treatments. The present article depicts the infinite possibilities of plant bionics for the betterment of human being.
