Different technologies are being developed to combat these risks. However, innovation in existing technologies is required. Nanotechnology has the potential to solve these difficulties by modifying traditional farming practices and approaches. Nanoparticles (NPs) can bind and transport various substances, such as plant nutrients, and govern their slow release over a longer period, which can reduce the danger of nutrient losses while maintaining environmental safety. In this aspect, the role of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and their derivatives in agriculture has recently sparked a lot of interest. ZnO NPs can be coated with different compounds which enhance their biocompatibility within the plant cells. The unique nanostructures and nano-characteristics of ZnO NPs and their derivatives have resulted in the development of a novel approach for boosting plant development and productivity as well as improved stress tolerance via targeted delivery and slow-release mechanism, resulting in enhanced nutrient use efficiency, regulating phytohormone levels, enhancing root morphology, and increasing enzyme activity, leading to their application as nanofertilizers. There are important knowledge gaps regarding the long-term environmental consequences and the specific biochemical pathways influenced by ZnO NPs. This review aims to provide an overview of the most recent advancements in the use of ZnO NPs in agriculture, identify areas where more research is needed, and suggest potential future research directions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101029,"journal":{"name":"Plant Nano Biology","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142651189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review evaluates the impact of NPs on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), macromolecules, and overall plant performance. Primarily, one of their key effects is the induction of oxidative stress in plants, which alters cellular function and defense mechanisms. Excessive ROS can harm cellular components resulting in cell death. Thus, preserving a delicate equilibrium between ROS production and scavenging is pivotal for cellular redox status. Although high NP concentrations can be detrimental, lower levels can contribute positively to cellular functions and signaling by generating low levels of ROS.

Principally, rice cultivar (cv. Swarna Sub1) was used to assess the potential of the <em>Sub1A</em> QTL for its drought sensitivity in response to bio-fabricated ZnO-NPs. ZnO-NPs were synthesized from algal (<em>Arthrospira platensis</em>) extract and characterized for their opto-physical properties, confirming size (54 nm), hydrodynamicity (-18.54), amorphous-cubic shape and others features. Fifteen-day-old rice seedlings were primed with 25 ppm ZnO-NPs and exposed to 12 % polyethylene glycol (PEG) mediated drought stress (DS) for 7-days under laboratory conditions. Primarily, <em>Sub1A</em> QTL responded to drought-induced anoxic stress with a significant increase in the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase (447.41 %) and pyruvate decarboxylase (96.51 %) through ZnO-NPs sensitization. Plants recorded a significant reduction in root growth, which regained 89.25 % with ZnO-NPs treatments. ZnO-NPs also recovered relative water content (49 %), proline (99.2 %), and improved chlorophyll fluorescence (90.9 %) under stress. Furthermore, drought-induced membrane leakage was stabilized by reducing ionic conductivity through the distribution of wall-bound polyamines. A characteristic feature of fluorescence also reinforced the sustenance of photosynthetic activities by ZnO-NPs under drought. Alternatively, rice seedlings showed regulation of oxidative stress, where lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation were reduced by 270 % and 178.2 %, respectively. This was observed with the minimization of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide concentrations by regulating apoplastic oxidase activity (117.64 %) with distinct polymorphisms in proteins. These observations suggest that ZnO-NPs can ameliorate drought-induced oxidative stress in rice, providing insights for improved nano-fertigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101029,"journal":{"name":"Plant Nano Biology","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142530303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
