Institute of Agriculture and Tourism · University of Life Sciences in Poznań · +3 more institutions
Abstract
Nanotechnology is rapidly emerging as a transformative force in agriculture, offering innovative solutions to support sustainable crop production. This review examines the interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) and plants, elucidating the underlying mechanisms that govern NP uptake, translocation, and interactions at the cellular level. We explore how NPs influence key physiological processes and modulate plant defense responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses, highlighting their potential for enhancing stress resistance. The diverse applications of NPs in agriculture are also comprehensively surveyed, encompassing targeted delivery of nutrients, enhanced biocontrol of phytopathogens, and engineering…
