Abstract

Nanofertilizers (NFs) have gained significant interest over conventional fertilizers in recent years due to their unique properties, including nanoscale size, enhanced solubility and bioavailability, environmental sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Among them, nano-calcium (nano-Ca) plays a crucial role as an essential nutrient, promotes plant growth and productivity, and provides stress tolerance to plants. However, the precise mechanism by which nano-Ca regulates plant development, stress responses, and its interactions with plant growth hormones and other nutrients remain largely unexplored. Additionally, optimizing the delivery methods of nano-Ca to plants is an ongoing area of research, with numerous studies being conducted to govern the most effective approaches. Calcium (Ca) is a macronutrient element required in large quantities, while nano-Ca is effective at much lower concentrations, making its optimal doses a key consideration for agricultural crops. This review explores the pathways through which nano-Ca enters plant cells, traversing various cellular barriers. It also examines the interactions between nano-Ca, phytohormones, and other essential nutrients, emphasizing its agricultural significance in promoting plant growth, development, and stress resilience. This review aims to provide valuable insights for researchers investigating the potentiality of nano-Ca in enhancing crop productivity and sustainability.
纳米钙在现代农业中的应用综述
纳米肥料(NFs)由于其独特的特性,包括纳米级尺寸、增强的溶解度和生物利用度、环境可持续性和成本效益,近年来比传统肥料获得了极大的兴趣。其中,纳米钙(nano-Ca)作为一种必需营养物质起着至关重要的作用,促进植物生长和生产力,并为植物提供抗逆性。然而,纳米钙调控植物发育、胁迫反应及其与植物生长激素和其他营养物质相互作用的确切机制在很大程度上仍未被探索。此外,优化纳米钙给植物的递送方法是一个正在进行的研究领域,有许多研究正在进行,以确定最有效的方法。钙(Ca)是一种大量需要的常量营养元素,而纳米钙在低得多的浓度下也有效,这使得其最佳剂量成为农业作物的关键考虑因素。这篇综述探讨了通过纳米钙进入植物细胞的途径,穿越各种细胞屏障。它还研究了纳米钙、植物激素和其他必需营养素之间的相互作用,强调了其在促进植物生长、发育和抗逆性方面的农业意义。本文旨在为研究纳米钙在提高作物生产力和可持续性方面的潜力提供有价值的见解。
