“…Efficient delivery of environmentally friendly NPs with ROS scavenging ability into plants might be a good approach to help to improve plant stress tolerance. For example, CDs have the advantages of small size, self-fluorescence, facile surface conjugation, and absence of heavy metal elements ( Li et al., 2020b ; Zhu et al., 2022 ). Their small size and facile surface conjugation could allow for efficient delivery into plants.…”

“…Utilizing NMs in order to improve plant ROS homeostasis maintenance is a viable approach that could support the development of nano-efficient agriculture. To help in the increase in plant stress tolerance and effective delivery of ROS scavenging, environment friendly NPs of plants may be a good strategy [ 81 ]. NPs enhance the photosynthetic activity of stressed plants, whereby the improvement of root growth, upregulation of aquaporins, altered intracellular water metabolism, accumulation of compatible solutes, and ionic homeostasis are the main mechanisms by which NPs alleviate stress caused by abiotic factors.…”

In the current scenario, the rising concentration of heavy metals (HMs) due to anthropogenic activities is a severe problem. Plants are very much affected by HM pollution as well as other abiotic stress such as salinity and drought. It is very important to fulfil the nutritional demands of an ever-growing population in these adverse environmental conditions and/or stresses. Remediation of HM in contaminated soil is executed through physical and chemical processes which are costly, time-consuming, and non-sustainable. The application of nanobionics in crop resilience with enhanced stress tolerance may be the safe and sustainable strategy to increase crop yield. Thus, this review emphasizes the impact of nanobionics on the physiological traits and growth indices of plants. Major concerns and stress tolerance associated with the use of nanobionics are also deliberated concisely. The nanobionic approach to plant physiological traits and stress tolerance would lead to an epoch of plant research at the frontier of nanotechnology and plant biology.

India and many developing countries in Asia and Africa are posed with the challenges of food insecurity and poverty for the next three decades, because of the growing demand for food commodities and depletion of natural resources, and global warming. While efforts are being made to increase agricultural production, serious attempts are needed to increase crop yields and income of small holder farmers, without polluting the environment. Fortunately, the recent introduction of nanotechnology for increasing agricultural production has indicated its potential to increase crop yields, while improving soil productivity and reducing the use of agro chemicals as well as the cost of production. Presently, several macro and micro nutrients sold in India have confirmed the benefits in terms of higher yield and lower cost of production. Nano-carbon is another material having great promise for boosting agricultural production, because of its role as a nutrient, soil stabilizer, effective facilitator for absorption of nutrients and plant protection molecules from the soil, and immunity boosters against biotic and abiotic pressures. Farmers from Gujarat and Maharashtra states who have used this technology for growing cotton, groundnut, paddy, turmeric, sugarcane and a wide range of fruits and vegetables have been successful in significantly increasing their crop production without any chemical residues, while decreasing the cost of production. Nano-carbon-based materials have a promising future in India and other developing countries.
