“…Consistent with these findings, the application of PHF as foliar spray increased the activities of CAT, APX, GPX, and GST antioxidant enzymes linked with H 2 O 2 detoxification (Borišev et al 2016). Further, PHFmediated improvements in SOD and CAT activities among maize seedlings were also reported (Liu et al 2016).…”

Polyhydroxy fullerenes nanoparticles (PHF) are regarded as free radical sponges. Can they mitigate oxidative stress and induce tolerance in plants exposed to salinity? The influence of PHF seed pre-treatment on growth and biochemical attributes of NaClstressed wheat is studied. Wheat seeds (cv. Ujala) were pre-treated with control, hydro-priming, 10, 40, 80, and 120 nM PHF doses for 10 h and grown in sand-filled pots under control (0 mM NaCl) and salinity (150 mM NaCl) provided through nutrient solution. Salinity markedly decreased root and shoot growth attributes consistent with the reduction in the chlorophyll contents, whereas it increased the antioxidant activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzymes. Plants exposed to salinity exhibited increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) contents which indicated oxidative stress. Further, salinity triggered rise in Na + uptake while decreased in K + and Ca 2+ contents both in the root and shoot. By contrast, wheat seedlings grown from PHF-treated seeds exhibited recovery in root and shoot growth under salinity. This recovery was linked with lower levels of MDA and H 2 O 2 contents and higher antioxidant activities of CAT, POD, and APX enzymes under salinity stress. The PHF-treated plants had higher chlorophyll, free amino acids, ascorbic acid, and soluble sugars. Moreover, PHF seed pre-treatment resulted in higher K + and P contents in the root while higher P contents in the shoot. Above all, PHF application mitigated adverse effects of salinity and promoted early seedling growth and establishment in wheat.

“…Polyhydroxy fullerene C 60 (OH) 24 could prevent oxidative stress caused by UV-B radiation, salt stress, and the excess of salicylic acid, and promote root growth [ 35 ]. A similar phenomenon was observed in our previous study that seed germination of maize under polyethylene glycol (PEG) stress was promoted by fullerenol nanoparticles [C 60 (OH) 22 ·8H 2 O] n [ 36 ]. Recently, our group reported cationic and water-soluble fullerene-based nanoparticles, quaternary ammonium iminofullerenes (IFQA), which can improve seed germination of maize and Arabidopsis by accelerating storage proteins degradation [ 37 ], and enhance maize-root elongation under PEG-stress conditions by improving the antioxidant system and expression of stress-related proteins [ 38 ].…”

Background Various environmental factors are capable of oxidative stress to result in limiting plant development and agricultural production. Fullerene-based carbon nanomaterials can enable radical scavenging and positively regulate plant growth. Even so, to date, our knowledge about the mechanism of fullerene-based carbon nanomaterials on plant growth and response to oxidative stress is still unclear. Results 20 or 50 mg/L quaternary ammonium iminofullerenes (IFQA) rescued the reduction in root lengths and root-hair densities and lengths of Arabidopsis and maize induced by accumulation of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole or exogenous H2O2 treatment, as well as the root active absorption area and root activity under exogenous H2O2 treatment. Meanwhile, the downregulated contents of ascorbate acid (ASA) and glutathione (GSH) and the upregulated contents of dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), malondialdehyde (MDA), and H2O2 indicated that the exogenous H2O2 treatment induced oxidative stress of maize. Nonetheless, application of IFQA can increase the ratios of ASA/DHA and GSH/GSSG, as well as the activities of glutathione reductase, and ascorbate peroxidase, and decrease the contents of H2O2 and MDA. Moreover, the root lengths were inhibited by buthionine sulfoximine, a specific inhibitor of GSH biosynthesis, and subsequently rescued after addition of IFQA. The results suggested that IFQA could alleviate exogenous-H2O2-induced oxidative stress on maize by regulating the ASA-GSH cycle. Furthermore, IFQA reduced the excess accumulation of ROS in root hairs, as well as the NADPH oxidase activity under H2O2 treatment. The transcript levels of genes affecting ROS-mediated root-hair development, such as RBOH B, RBOH C, PFT1, and PRX59, were significantly induced by H2O2 treatment and then decreased after addition of IFQA. Conclusion The positive effect of fullerene-based carbon nanomaterials on maize-root-hair growth under the induced oxidative stress was discovered. Application IFQA can ameliorate oxidative stress to promote maize-root growth through decreasing NADPH-oxidase activity, improving the scavenging of ROS by ASA-GSH cycle, and regulating the expressions of genes affecting maize-root-hair development. It will enrich more understanding the actual mechanism of fullerene-based nanoelicitors responsible for plant growth promotion and protection from oxidative stress. Graphical Abstract

Sustainable agriculture is a key component of the effort to meet the increased food demand of a rapidly increasing global population. Nano-biotechnology is a promising tool for sustainable agriculture. However, rather than acting as nanocarriers, some nanoparticles (NPs) with unique physiochemical properties inherently enhance plant growth and stress tolerance. This biological role of nanoparticles depends on their physiochemical properties, application method (foliar delivery, hydroponics, soil), and the applied concentration. Here we review the effects of the different types, properties, and concentrations of nanoparticles on plant growth and on various abiotic (salinity, drought, heat, high light, and heavy metals) and biotic (pathogens and herbivores) stresses. The ability of nanoparticles to stimulate plant growth by positive effects on seed germination, root or shoot growth, and biomass or grain yield is also considered. The information presented herein will allow researchers within and outside the nano-biotechnology field to better select the appropriate nanoparticles as starting materials in agricultural applications. Ultimately, a shift from testing/utilizing existing nanoparticles to designing specific nanoparticles based on agriculture needs will facilitate the use of nanotechnology in sustainable agriculture.
