Biological applications of nanomaterials as delivery carriers have been embedded in traditional biomedical research for decades. Despite lagging behind, recent significant breakthroughs in the use of nanocarriers as tools for plant biotechnology have created great interest. In this Perspective, we review the outstanding recent works in nanocarrier‐mediated plant transformation and its agricultural applications. We analyze the chemical and physical properties of nanocarriers determining their uptake efficiency and transport throughout the plant body.

In the cover of article number 20210002, Chun‐Peng Song and colleagues revealed an illustration of how plant biotechnology could potentially revitalize and thrive when presented with the dynamic interplay with nanotechnology.
