Abstract:
The work of nanoparticle plant interactions, including absorption, mobilization, and accumulation, is still in its infancy. However, the remarkable progress of nanotechnology in biomedical sciences has revolutionised therapeutic and diagnostic techniques. Materials, whether natural or artificial, typically range in size from 1 to 100 nm. Nanotechnology is touted as having the ability to improve energy efficiency, aid in environmental cleanup, and address significant health issues. According to reports, it can drastically lower costs while greatly increasing manufacturing production. Due to the necessity to create highly efficient miniaturised systems to enhance seed germination, growth, and plant protection from abiotic and biotic challenges, nanotechnology has recently attracted interest in plant science as well. We believe that interdisciplinary collaboration approaches will be crucial in bridging the knowledge gap in plant nanotechnology and advancing the use of nanomaterials in agriculture and, more generally, in plant science research. Applications of nanotechnology include extended product shelf life, food processing and storage, and nanoparticle-mediated gene or DNA transfer in plants to create insect-resistant types. The production of biomass-to-fuel could advance thanks to nanotechnology. Gold (Au) and silver (Ag) metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in plant science for a variety of purposes. The photosynthesis process may be substantially hampered by an extremely high nanoparticle concentration, which could stunt or kill plant growth.
