“…In the case of seed treatments [21,62,70,71,72,73,74,75,76] and early-stage root treatments in hydroponic media [56], ENM transfer into edible plant segments and to the environment is limited. In view of their reported benefits, their use appears to be justified.…”

Agricultural food crop plants interact with engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) from the application of agri-food nanotechnologies and from unintentional emissions originating from other nanotechnologies. Both types of exposure present implications for agricultural yield and quality, food chain transfer, and environmental and human health. In this review, the most recent findings from agricultural plant-ENM studies published in 2017 and 2018 are summarized. The aim of this is to identify the current hazard potential of ENMs for plants grown under typical field conditions that originate from both intentional and unintentional exposures and to contribute to knowledge-based decisions on the application of ENMs in food-agriculture. We also address recent knowledge on ENM adsorption, internalization, translocation, and bioaccumulation by plants, ENM impacts on agricultural crop yield and nutrition, and ENM biotransformation. Using adverse effect level concentrations and data on ENM accumulation in environmental matrices, the literature analyses revealed that C-, Ag-, Ce-, and Ti-based ENMs are unlikely to pose a risk to plants grown under typical field conditions, whereas Cu- and Zn-based ENMs require surveillance. Since multiple factors (e.g., ENM concentration, route of exposure, and plant type) influence the effects of ENMs on plants, biomonitoring is recommended for tracking ENM environmental exposure in the future.

“…Various nanoforms of metal sulfides have been explored in our laboratory which has given significant outcomes at lower concentrations against various phytopathogenic fungi. CuS nanoparticles were considered as an excellent antifungal agent against various fungi with ED 50 values <10 μg/ml (Sidhu, Barmota, & Bala, 2017). Their applications are not limited to their antifungal potential only but they have been reported to reinforce the physical growth parameters of seedlings, boosting the seedling health with no symptoms of toxicity.…”

Manganese sulfide nanospheres (MnS‐NSs) prepared in situ via sonochemical process were characterized to investigate the effect of nanoscale MnS on antifungal potential against mycopathogens of rice viz. Fusarium verticillioides, Drechslera oryzae and Curvularia lunata. MnS‐NSs dispersed in aqueous medium resulted in significant inhibition of growth of all the test fungi (ED50 ≤ 18 μg/ml) at concentration much lower than standard commercial fungicides (captan and carbendazim with ED50 ≥ 230 μg/ml) against respective fungi. The maximum per cent inhibition (98 ± 1.4) was recorded against C. lunata with a minimum ED50 value of 14 μg/ml, followed by D. oryzae and F. verticillioides with ED50 values of 17 and 18 μg/ml, respectively. Nanopriming of rice seeds with MnS‐NSs at 35 μg/ml for 8 hr resulted in significant reduction in seed rot (76%) and seedling blight (89.13%) along with enhancement in percent germination, root length, shoot length, dry weight and vigour index of seedlings by 33.7%, 55%, 66.3%, 85.3% and 89.3%, respectively, compared with control. Hydropriming of seeds was found to control the seed health parameters less effectively than nanopriming.

“…Besides Ag NPs, the antibacterial and antifungal properties of Cu ions are also outstanding. [ 168,169 ] Compared with bulk Cu, CuO NPs exhibit better catalytic activity and inhibition of microorganism. [ 170 ] Van et al studied the effects of CuO NPs (30 ± 10 nm) on Bacillus thuringiensis ‐transgenic (Bt‐transgenic) cotton.…”

Plants have complex internal signaling pathways to quickly adjust to environmental changes and harvest energy from the environment. Facing the growing population, there is an urgent need for plant transformation and precise monitoring of plant growth to improve crop yields. Nanotechnology, an interdisciplinary research field, has recently been boosting plant yields and meeting global energy needs. In this context, a new field, "plant nanoscience," which describes the interaction between plants and nanotechnology, emerges as the times require. Nanosensors, nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and nano-plant genetic engineering are of great help in increasing crop yields. Nanogenerators are helping to develop the potential of plants in the field of energy harvesting. Furthermore, the uptake and internalization of nanomaterials in plants and the possible effects are also worthy of attention. In this review, a forward-looking perspective on the plant nanoscience is presented and feasible solutions for future food shortages and energy crises are provided.
