Abstract
Nanomaterials are reshaping plant sciences with transformative applications in physiology, growth, and development. Leveraging their nanoscale dimensions and unique physicochemical properties. NMs enhance photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience, thereby addressing critical challenges in modern agriculture. These materials, categorized by shape, size, composition, and morphology, include carbon-based, inorganic, organic, and composite NMs, interact with plant physiological processes by regulating phytohormonal networks, modulating stomatal behavior, enhancing water use efficiency, and influencing chlorophyll synthesis and carbon fixation. Their interaction spans precise agrochemical delivery, mitigation of abiotic stress, and promotes metabolic homeostasis through Nanozymes. NMs also support advanced technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing and pollen magnetofection, foster rhizospheric interactions, regulate phytohormonal networks, and enhance soil microbial communities. Additionally, their applications extend to nano-bionic plants for enhanced photosynthesis, environmental monitoring, and pollutant remediation, and nanosensors enable real-time detection of pesticides, heavy metals, and pathogens, providing precise agrochemical delivery, mitigating abiotic stress and significantly impacting plant phenology and overall physiological functionality, paving the way for sustainable agricultural advancements.
期刊介绍:
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology provides an International forum for original research papers, reviews, and commentaries on all aspects of the molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, histology and cytology, genetics and evolution of plant-microbe interactions.
Papers on all kinds of infective pathogen, including viruses, prokaryotes, fungi, and nematodes, as well as mutualistic organisms such as Rhizobium and mycorrhyzal fungi, are acceptable as long as they have a bearing on the interaction between pathogen and plant.
