Importantly, the fate, distribution, and efficacy of any nanopesticide is linked to the interfacial attributes and dynamic interactions between the outer surfaces – cuticle – of plants and insects. This review starts with an outline of the diverse pathways facilitating the accumulation of nanopesticides on plant cuticles, including their eventual transfer to the cuticles of insect pests. Subsequently, a comprehensive overview is provided of the micro- and nano-scale morphological features characteristic of plant and insect cuticles, along with the implications these features hold for their interactions with various nanopesticides. The review then focuses on interactions between nanopesticides and insect cuticles mediated through the plant cuticle. Finally, nanoscale mechanistic processes are discussed, with an emphasis on aspects such as wetting dynamics, critical length scales (e.g., inter-crystal spacing of waxes and surface wavelengths), and interdigitation and molecular adhesion processes of long-chain and macromolecular nanocarriers. Collectively, the review elucidates the essential interfacial processes governing the transfer and adhesion of nanopesticides between entities. The concluding section provides an overview of the prevailing challenges and potential avenues for understanding the transport and deposition mechanisms of nanopesticides to plants and insects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101029,"journal":{"name":"Plant Nano Biology","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100062"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773111124000056/pdfft?md5=fb3b09c7df5c7dc6657b33de4ee59c63&pid=1-s2.0-S2773111124000056-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139941624","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}

Microbially synthesized nanoparticles have been reported to alleviate the stress impacts and promote plant growth under stress conditions.

These changes pose a threat to global food security and livelihoods due to reduced yields, lower crop quality, and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. To safeguard crops and build resilience, addressing climate change and adopting sustainable agricultural practices is crucial for sustainable productivity. The review highlights the chitosan based nanoconjugates potential as a tool to revolutionize agricultural practices and help to address the challenges posed by climate change on crop production and food security. Environmental stresses trigger a range of responses in plants, including changes to growth rate, productivity, cellular metabolism, and gene expression alterations. One of the paramount impacts of climate change on plants is water deficit stress, which disrupts water relations, causes metabolic disturbances, generates reactive oxygen species, and leads to crop damage. To counteract these adverse effects, chitosan, a naturally occurring polymer emerged as a promising biostimulator and elicitor in agriculture. Its non-toxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible properties make it well-suited for various applications. Chitosan enhances physiological responses in plants and helps to mitigate the negative impacts of abiotic stresses by activating stress transduction pathways. Chitosan nanoconjugates, formed by integrating chitosan with metallic nanoparticles, exhibit modified structural and functional properties, making them more effective in mitigating stress-related effects in plants. Their intelligent and slow delivery mechanisms contribute to their success in enhancing plant growth and development sustainably. Additionally, the encapsulation of metals or elements in chitosan reduces toxicity, enables slow-release properties, and ensures long-lasting effects. Nanoconjugates have been successfully utilized for priming agricultural and horticultural crops to enhance their tolerance to abiotic stress and promote sustainable yield improvement. Given their promising results, the use of nanoconjugates for priming agricultural crops and promoting sustainable yield improvement warrants continued exploration and development in the field of agricultural nanotechnology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101029,"journal":{"name":"Plant Nano Biology","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100059"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773111124000020/pdfft?md5=36b9ea1f2feafa58d6a17f48a0b5c3e2&pid=1-s2.0-S2773111124000020-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139639431","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}

Adding nano SiO₂ is anticipated to create a complex with Ag⁺ ions, potentially decreasing their release into the environment and mitigating toxicity. The potential of Ag/SiO₂ NCs as plant growth stimulants remains understudied to date. In this context, the study evaluates the impact of Ag/SiO₂ NCs on 30-day-old <em>Z. mays</em> plants compared to Ag NPs at 100 and 200 ppm concentrations and on soil health. Soil health analysis revealed that both Ag NPs and Ag/SiO₂ NCs supported the proliferation of P-solubilizing and N-fixing bacteria. Bioaccumulation analysis reveals higher Ag content in plants treated with Ag/SiO₂ NCs, attributed to reduced agglomeration. Ag NPs exhibited concentration-dependent toxicity as 200 ppm hindered <em>Z. mays</em> growth, chlorophyll levels and absorption of P, Mg and K, whereas 100 ppm was found to be stimulatory. In stark contrast, Ag/SiO₂ NCs demonstrated a remarkable capacity to mitigate Ag toxicity. The beneficial impact of Ag/SiO₂ NCs on growth metrics, chlorophyll levels, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activity and nutrient absorption was observed at both 100 and 200 ppm. However, it was more pronounced at 100 ppm concentration. This suggests that incorporating SiO₂ in NCs may counteract the toxic effects of Ag, possibly through the complexation of Ag⁺ and a slower release mechanism.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101029,"journal":{"name":"Plant Nano Biology","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100064"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S277311112400007X/pdfft?md5=0a8354baaf60f4ffa191de4183aa3e7b&pid=1-s2.0-S277311112400007X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139976010","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}

Nanotechnology-based fertilizers represent a novel strategy for boosting agricultural output and show great potential as viable options in the fertilizer industry, as they can significantly enhance nutrient retention and promote optimal growth. Very recently, slow and controlled release nanofertilizers have evolved through the development of nanocomposites or coating techniques with the aid of various chemical entities. These types of slow release nanofertilizers are more effective than normal nanofertilizers as these fertilizers deliver nutrients in a controlled manner and can be regulated by various environmental and physical stimuli (pH, temperature, humidity, etc.). Their nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is also far better than the normal nanoparticles (individual nanoparticles like iron, zinc, copper nanoparticles etc.), as these nanocomposites demonstrate zero or very little nutrient leaching. Utilizing controlled release fertilizers mitigates nutrient loss from volatilization and leaching and offers a meticulously tailored nutrient release system harmonizing with the objective of sustainable agriculture.
