Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and highly stable materials that have wider opportunities for their production at the nanoscale. Differently synthesized MgONPs have been found to induce plant resistance against these stresses <em>via</em> a combination of physiochemical and molecular pathways that strengthen the structural barriers, improve nutrient availability, osmoregulation, photosynthetic efficiency, hormonal regulation, activate antioxidant defense systems, stress-responsive genes, thereby enable plant adaptation to environmental stressors. MgONPs act as antibacterial, antifungal or nematicidal agents that inhibit the growth of plant pathogens and reduce pathogen colonization, thereby reducing the disease incidence against biotic stresses.

Various herbicides belong to the frontline agrochemicals. Trifluralin is one of them. Although the use of herbicides can drastically increase the production of foodstuffs, the widespread use of these organo-toxins increases the concern for food safety and human health security. Hence, it is imperative to detect their presence and accurately measure their concentrations in food products. To overcome these challenges, herein, for the first time, we have constructed a reusable and environment friendly nanoscale Hf(<small>IV</small>)–organic framework (<strong>1</strong>) which can act as a selective sensor and promising adsorbent for one of the most widely used herbicide, trifluralin. In addition to rapid response time (&lt;5 s) and ultralow detection limit (LOD = 16.3 nM) for trifluralin, this innovative framework material is capable of detecting and quantifying the targeted herbicide across a diverse range of environmental soil and water samples and multiple pH media. Moreover, the current MOF also serves as an exceptionally effective adsorbent for trifluralin from aqueous media. Its distinctive features include a remarkably short equilibrium time (&lt;5 min), an unprecedentedly high adsorption capacity (164 mg g<small><sup>−1</sup></small>) and the ability to adsorb trifluralin efficiently even in the presence of various other contaminants such as metal ions, anions, and other herbicides. This remarkable adsorption capability remains preserved in a wide range of environmental water sources and diverse pH levels. Furthermore, for the first time, MOF@starch@cotton composites have been fabricated utilizing the biopolymer starch as a binding agent. These composites have been successfully employed for both visual nanomolar-level determination and efficient adsorption of trifluralin.

In <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>, although germline RNAi of both <em>mir-240</em> and <em>mir-36</em> suppressed polystyrene nanoparticle (PS-NP) toxicity, exposure to PS-NPs (1–100 μg L<small><sup>−1</sup></small>) only increased <em>mir-240</em> expression.

Among the secreted ligands, the germline RNAi of <em>rab-5</em> increased the expressions of genes encoding insulin peptides (<em>ins-3</em>, <em>ins-39</em>, and <em>daf-28</em>), FGF ligand (<em>egl-17</em>), and ephrin ligand (<em>efn-3</em>) in PS-NP exposed nematodes and their corresponding receptor genes (<em>daf-2</em>, <em>egl-15</em>, and <em>vab-1</em>) in the offspring of PS-NP exposed nematodes. Therefore, an increase in germline <em>mir-240</em> mediated transgenerational PS-NP toxicity through insulin, FGF, and ephrin signals by affecting its target RAB-5.

The edible parts of rhizome crops have direct contact with the rhizosphere, which may lead to a more direct positive effect of NMs and rhizosphere interaction on the growth and development of rhizome crops. Here, 50 mg kg<small><sup>−1</sup></small> cerium oxide (CeO<small><sub>2</sub></small>) NMs had the greatest promotion on carrot growth, and 5 days was the initial time for promoting taproot thickening. The application of CeO<small><sub>2</sub></small> NMs to soil first stimulated the secretion of organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, phenols, and carbohydrates (such as citric acid, asparagine, and alpha-linolenic acid), as well as growth regulators indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and jasmonic acid, from the roots to the rhizosphere. This resulted in a significant increase in the relative abundances of <em>Altererythrobacter</em>, <em>Gemmatimonas</em>, <em>Pseudomonas</em>, <em>Sphingomonas</em> and <em>Chryseolinea</em> by 16.2–61.4%, thereby enhancing nutrient accumulation and elevating IAA levels in taproots. Meanwhile, CeO<small><sub>2</sub></small> NMs were effectively absorbed by the seedling roots and transferred to the leaves. The internalized CeO<small><sub>2</sub></small> NMs induced cell division in the taproot vascular cambium by increasing levels of IAA and cytokinins by 22.2% and 33.7%, respectively.

Furthermore, photosynthesis was enhanced, leading to a significant increase in sucrose and starch content by 55.3% and 71.7%, respectively. The integration of rhizobacteria, phytohormones, and gene regulations synergistically promoted carrot taproot thickening.
