This study investigates the effects of nano-TiO₂ on rice (<em>Oryza sativa</em> cv. PB1121) growth and enzymatic activities, compared to bulk TiO₂, through a pot culture experiment. Eight doses of Ti were applied: six as soil treatments (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg Ti kg⁻¹) and two as foliar treatments (0.05 % and 0.1 %). Results showed that grain yield peaked at 25 mg Ti kg⁻¹ soil for both nano and bulk TiO₂, while a 0.05 % foliar spray outperformed by 0.1 %. Titanium accumulated mostly in roots, followed by straw and grains. Nano-TiO₂ significantly increased antioxidant enzyme activities—catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase (APX)—and lipid peroxidation (measured as malondialdehyde) in rice roots and shoots, indicating oxidative stress. The findings suggest that plant enzymatic activity serves as an early indicator of nano-TiO₂ exposure, making it a valuable biomarker for environmental monitoring. However, higher Ti doses may inhibit plant growth depending on Ti source and concentration. Further studies should examine the effects of nano-TiO₂ of different sizes, shapes, and charges on various crops and soil types to validate these results and assess the broader implications for agricultural and environmental health.

In this study, ZnO-NPs were utilized for establishment of callus and cell cultures in black seeds for the first time. Hypocotyl explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media with varying levels of ZnO-NPs, resulted in callus induction and biomass formation.

Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles represents an innovative and environmentally friendly approach in agriculture that enhances crop yield and quality. Unlike traditional physical and chemical methods, which are costly and produce harmful by-products, green synthesis uses biological agents like plants, fungi, and bacteria, making the process more sustainable and cost-effective. Bacterial cells demonstrate superior efficiency in the green synthesis of nanoparticles compared to plant cells. Their effectiveness is attributed to their unique morphological features, surface structures, and the presence of exopolysaccharides, sugars, proteins, enzymes, and various functional groups (such as carboxyl, phosphate, and amide). Interaction between bacterial cells and nanotechnology presents a promising approach for advancing smart agriculture by enhancing soil fertility, plant protection, and nanoparticle synthesis efficiency. By entering the structure of a living organism as an external factor, nanoparticles can cause extensive changes in the physiology and function of the cell. Therefore, the presence of a biological mediating agent with potential mechanisms capable of reducing the negative effects of nanoparticles can increase their efficacy as a long-term factor and reduce concerns about the harmful effects of nanoparticles on nature and living cells. By activating the pathways of NADPH, glutathione, and biofilm formation, this living agent first moderates the harmful effects of nanoparticles and acts as a filter, then provides them for the cell as a healthy biological-nanotechnological agent through a process known as green synthesis.
