Summary: | Nanotechnology is a developing tool in agriculture and brings the next industrial revolution, and also, its implementation is important for pest management, plant growth, nutrient shortage and climate change. Engineered nanomaterial passes in the plants through the root system which moves through the cortex and the pericycle and finally reaches the xylem. The mechanism of engineered nanomaterial and plant can be physical as well as chemical. Two types of responses were shown by the plants, i.e., positive effects and negative effects. Engineered nanomaterial boosts the plant immunity in different ways, and its introduction to plants helps in the expression of different defense enzymes. Limited studies are done on plant-innate immune responses, and more research and findings are necessary to see if the metallic nanomaterial produces their toxicity because of their exceptional properties or by the metal ions released. In this way, there is an important aspect of nanoparticles in relation to the surrounding environment and plants like field crops and vegetable crops. |
