“…When it comes to the application itself, TiO 2 NPs and ZnO NPs were applied as aqueous suspensions [73,84], or adjuvants were added to the colloidal solution to facilitate the penetration of nanoparticles across wax sub-structures [31,32]. The influence of the surface functionalisation of ENPs and additives such as adjuvants in the suspension may result in improvement in growth and other agriculturally important parameters [33,54]. The surface functionalisation of ENPs can improve the dispersion and stability of NPs and can allow the tailored incorporation of compounds or moieties on NPs surface, acting as plant stimulants [85].…”

“…The surface functionalisation of ENPs can improve the dispersion and stability of NPs and can allow the tailored incorporation of compounds or moieties on NPs surface, acting as plant stimulants [85]. For this and other reasons, the application of biologically synthesised ENPs is a trend in fertilisers and other agrichemicals [31][32][33]. Properties affecting the application of ENPs on leaves in field conditions can be viewed in Figure 1.…”

“…Kőrösi et al [90] proposed that the proper dosage of TiO 2 NPs may positively affect the upregulation of antioxidant defence, and their photoactivity destroys the pathogens on leaves. Moreover, TiO 2 NP upregulation of antioxidant defence reduced oxidative stress under heightened Cd concentrations and decreased Cd amounts in wheat straw, roots, and grains, which may help with the growth of cereals in areas where the soil is contaminated with Cd [33].…”

“…Thus, both types of nanoparticles were found to be interesting for further field application, and their properties were also studied in this context. In recent studies on the interaction of ENPs with plants, the application of low, yet still effective, concentrations of ZnO and TiO 2 NPs was investigated [31,32], and a new avenue of research was opened, where these nanomaterials can be applied not only to promote growth and agricultural productivity but also to alleviate abiotic and biotic stresses [33][34][35]. Both ZnO and TiO 2 NPs were found to alleviate stresses caused by drought and heavy metals such as Cd.…”

Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have potential application in precision farming and sustainable agriculture. Studies have shown that ENPs enhance the efficiency of the delivery of agrochemicals and thus, have the potential to positively affect the environment, thereby improving the growth and health of the crops. However, the majority of the research on the effects of ENPs on plants and in agricultural applications have been limited to controlled laboratory conditions. These conditions do not fully consider various aspects inherent to the growth of agricultural plants in fields under changing weather and climate. Some of the most investigated ENPs in the agricultural research area are ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). ZnO NPs have the potential to increase crop production and stress resistance, mainly by the slow release of Zn ions to crops. Unlike ZnO NPs, TiO2 NPs have less well-understood means of action, and are generally considered as plant growth promoter. This mini review presents information compiled for ZnO and TiO2 NPs, their influence on agricultural plants with emphasis on particularly effect on plant growth, nutrient distribution and pollution remediation under field conditions. It is concluded that in order to gain a broader perspective, more field studies are needed, particularly multigeneration studies, to fully understand the effects of the ENPs on agricultural plants’ growth and improvement of their health.

Antimicrobial properties of green synthesized novel TiO₂ nanoparticles using Iranian propolis extracts

et al. 2023

The oral antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties of green synthesized novel titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) using Iranian propolis extracts were investigated on oral bacteria and fibroblast cells. In this study, propolis was sampled, and alcoholic extracts were prepared. The TiO2 NPs were biosynthesized using propolis extracts. The synthesized TiO2 NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X‐ray diffraction analysis, energy‐dispersive X‐ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering, ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis), transmission electron microscope, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and zeta potential. MTT (3‐[4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl]‐2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide), minimal inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal concentration, minimum fungicidal concentration, biofilm formation, and degradation tests were studied to clarify the oral antimicrobial properties of green synthesized TiO2 NPs. According to the FTIR analysis, the propolis extract contained flavonoids and phenolic compounds in addition to TiO2 NPs. Additionally, UV‐Vis revealed that intense bands had formed NPs. EDX spectra and SEM images revealed that the stabilizing agent was in perfect quasi‐spherical shapes around 21 nm. An EDX spectrum was used to verify the presence of titanium and oxygen. There were no significant cytotoxicity effects. The antibacterial results showed that Pro1TiO2 (Khalkhal sample) had better effects than Pro2TiO2 (Gilan sample) and TiO2 NPs. The present study presents a new process for synthesizing TiO2 NPs from propolis extracts with less toxic effects and user‐friendly, eco‐friendly, and economical materials. Pro1TiO2 NPs may be considered the best candidate for clinical application.

Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing discipline that has the potential to transform the way we approach problems in a variety of fields, including agriculture. The utilization of nanotechnology in sustainable agriculture has gained popularity in recent years. Nanotechnology has various applications in agriculture, such as development of nanoscale materials and devices to boost agricultural productivity, enhance food quality and safety, improve the efficiency of water and nutrient usage, and decrease environmental pollution. Nanotechnology has proven to be highly beneficial in the field of agriculture, particularly in the development of nanoscale delivery systems for agrochemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers, and growth regulators. These nanoscale delivery technologies offer various benefits over conventional delivery systems, including better penetration and distribution, enhanced efficacy, and lower environmental impact. Encapsulating agrochemicals in nanoscale particles enables direct delivery to the targeted site in the plant, thereby reducing waste and minimizing off‐target effects. Plants are fundamental building blocks of all ecosystems and evaluating the interaction between nanoparticles (NPs) and plants is a crucial aspect of risk assessment. Therefore, this critical review aims to provide an overview of the latest advancements regarding the positive and negative effects of nanotechnology in agriculture. Additionally, we have also explored potential future research directions focused on ensuring the safe utilization of NPs in this field, which will lead us to sustainable development.This article is protected by copyright.
