Due to the substantial population growth, agricultural land is steadily diminishing with each passing day. Nanotechnology has shown promising results in the development of sustainable farming techniques. Few nanomaterials have demonstrated remarkable properties to serve as stress tolerance enhancers and growth stimulants for plants. The roles of the nanoparticles depend on their physiochemical properties, biological toxicities, concentrations, and type of formulations such as nanogels, nanoemulsion, nanoencapsulation, and nanosuspensions. Smart delivery of these nanoparticles enhances plant growth by promoting germination of seeds, root and shoot growth, and an overall increase in biomass. Several nanoparticles have shown their capability to combat the diverse biotic stresses that plants encounter during their lifetime. These nanoparticles are toxic to pathogens and weeds by modifying their gene expression, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), and disrupting various metabolic processes. Different research endeavors have contributed to the development of customized nanoparticles that cater to the specific requirements of agriculture, leading to the adoption of sustainable agricultural methods. In this review, we have explored various categories of nanoparticles along with their distinctive characteristics. We have also discussed the techniques employed for applying these nanoparticles to plants and their subsequent effects on plant growth and different biotic stresses along with an application of nanoparticles for the detection of various plant diseases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101029,"journal":{"name":"Plant Nano Biology","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100090"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773111124000330/pdfft?md5=16ec4a664601f15cc0b7d65de142683f&pid=1-s2.0-S2773111124000330-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142274295","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}

Nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP), a phosphorus-rich compound, has the potential to be used as a fertilizer with reduced environmental impact. This study tests the effectiveness of nHAP produced from waste materials (animal bones) on barley plants (<em>Hordeum vulgare</em>). Two different nHAPs were prepared by thermal treatment of chicken bones at 300 °C and 700 °C (nHAP₃₀₀ and nHAP₇₀₀, respectively). The nanopowders were then tested in a seed toxicity trial and in a greenhouse pot experiment with barley, using <em>Pseudomonas alloputida</em>, a P-solubilizing bacterium (PSB). The treatments were unfertilized soil, conventional triple superphosphate (TSP), and the nHAP treatments alone. The results indicated that: (i) the nHAP materials had particle sizes of 1 micrometer (nHAP₃₀₀, due to aggregation) and 50–70 nm (nHAP₇₀₀), with P contents of 12.8 % and 19.6 %, respectively; (ii) no toxicity was observed on barley seeds, and nHAP₃₀₀ at maximum dose stimulated root length by 45.6 % compared to the control; (iii) compared to conventional P fertilizer TSP, nHAP₃₀₀ and nHAP₇₀₀ stimulated root growth by 7 % and 18 %, respectively; (iv) the fraction of available P produced through nHAP₃₀₀-PSB (40.6 mg kg⁻¹) was higher than that from TSP (39.2 mg kg⁻¹); (v) ions associated with the nHAP structure supplied supplementary nutrients, predominantly allocated in root tissues.

The destruction of crops due to diseases caused by plant pathogens has become difficult to control with conventional physical and chemical methods. Traditional agriculture often depends on use of chemical pesticides, which have had negative impacts on both living organisms and ecosystems. As a fundamental principle of sustainable agriculture, it is important to limit the use of chemical pesticides in order to safeguard the environment and preserve diverse species. Additionally, sustainable agriculture should operate as a low input system, characterised by reduced production costs and increased net returns. Here, nanotechnology stands as a new weapon against rising challenges in agriculture. Nanotechnology may greatly improve the effectiveness of agricultural inputs, making it a valuable tool for promoting sustainable growth in agroecosystems via the use of nanoparticles. Using magnetic nanoparticles for controlling plant pathogenic fungi can be developed as a potent method for disease management in plants.

In this field, nanoparticles are being studied as an alternative to traditional inorganic fertilizers. Previous studies have reported that nanoparticles may increase crop growth and yield. However, the use of nanoparticles higher than 10 nm may cause harm and toxicity in some plant species, and some of these nanomaterials are not water-soluble or chemically stable. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of water-stable TGA coated ZnS Quantum Dots (QDs) on the growth of <em>Ocimum basilicum</em> (basil) plants. QDs are known for their small size (less than 10 nm) and potential biocompatibility depending on their organic coating. In this research, the nanostructures synthesized were mostly spherical with an average size of 2.4 nm and crystalline structure resembling zinc blende. The EDS spectrum showed the elemental composition of the QDs, with 49.0 % zinc and 51.0 % sulfur, and the TGA coated ZnS QDs exhibited a fluorescent peak at 423 nm, which is characteristic of this material. These QDs were added to basil seedlings to promote plant growth and development. Results showed an increase in total chlorophyll content by 11 % in plants exposed to 250 ppm of TGA coated ZnS QDs and 12 % for plants exposed to 500 and 1000 ppm. Highest concentration of Mg (21 % more than control plants) was found in plants exposed to 500 ppm of TGA coated ZnS QDs. An increase in K and Ca uptake was observed in plants exposed to 750 ppm QDs (by about 15 % and 24 % respectively). Plants exposed to QDs at 1000 ppm increased Cu, Mn, and Fe by about 36 %, 86 %, and 523 % respectively. Additionally, plants exposed to 500 ppm QDs increased Zn concentration in leaves by about 89 %. QDs, covered with TGA and measuring 2.4 nm, enhanced nutrient absorption in roots due to the high contact surface between the QDs and roots. The small size of the QDs enables transport within plants, traveling across both the xylem and phloem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101029,"journal":{"name":"Plant Nano Biology","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100084"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773111124000275/pdfft?md5=81d070e78a8d63030352c8393af08aa4&pid=1-s2.0-S2773111124000275-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141622347","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}

Therefore, comprehending the impact of NPs and MPs on crops is crucial. Contemporary scientific research indicates that NPs and MPs undergo bioaccumulation within plant tissues, adversely affecting crops' physiology, biology, and genetics, significantly reducing germination and growth/productivity rates. In scientific studies, the effects of NPs and MPs on crops are studied in different experimental conditions. However, real-environment scenarios involve a complex interplay of various factors that can significantly influence the impact of NPs and MPs on crops. To better understand the factors affecting crop susceptibility to NPs and MPs, this review presents a bibliometric analysis of the secondary data using R-software coupled with Biblioshiny-App. It revealed that the MP's effects on crops are better studied than NPs. Further, various direct factors and their interplays influence the impact of NPs and MPs on crops, which are discussed in detail. The findings indicated that the impacts of NPs and MPs on crops depend on the physical and chemical properties of NPs and MPs (i.e., size, shape, and chemical composition), dose and duration of exposure of crops to NPs and MPs, the route of entry (via leaves/roots) and intoxication via mobilization, the presence of other pollutants, and the medium of growth (hydroponic media or soil). Additionally, crop-related factors, i.e., crop species, developmental stage, and the specific physiology and biology of the crop affecting the effect of NPs and MPs on crops, are discussed.
