Abstract

In recent years, the rapid development of nanotechnology has made significant impacts on the industry. With the wide application of nanotechnology, nanoparticles (NPs) are inevitably released into the environment, and their fate, behavior and toxicity are indeterminate. Studies have indicated that NPs can be absorbed, transported and accumulated by terrestrial plants. The presence of NPs in certain edible plants may decrease harvests and threaten human health. Understanding the transport and toxicity of NPs in plants is the basis for risk assessment. In this review, we summarize the transportation of four types of NPs in terrestrial plants, and the phytotoxicity induced by NPs, including their impacts on plant…
