Mechanisms of nanomaterial delivery to plant chloroplasts have been explored to improve plant stress tolerance, promote photosynthesis, facilitate genetic engineering, and manufacture self-repairing biomaterials, fuels, and biopharmaceuticals. However, the molecular interactions of nanomaterials wit...
