“…In recent years, there has been a growing interest in harnessing endophytic microorganisms from plant tissues that can produce secondary metabolites for their host and have other functions that can affect plant growth and resist pathogens. This makes endophytic microorganisms a very promising tool for the biocontrol of plant pathogens and plant growth promotion, which has become extremely significant for sustainable agriculture [1][2][3][4]. These metabolites, such as phenols, and polyketides, which are saponins, alkaloids, and some terpenoids, have various bioactive attributes and can mitigate biotic and also abiotic stresses [5].…”

Changing understanding of endophytes in the realm of agriculture suggests the possibility of improving soil health and productivity, as well as the overall environmental sustainability of agriculture. These non-pathogenic microorganisms living in a plant are capable of conferring stress tolerance, promoting growth, and suppressing pathogens. Nevertheless, navigating regulatory barriers and streamlining application techniques pose challenges. To maximize their agricultural utility, future research should focus on exploring new strains, optimizing application techniques, and integrating endophytes into crop breeding programs. Leveraging endophytes may further lead to the developing of sustainable agriculture and reduce many concerns related to global food security.

“…Food sustainability is encountering a serious threat due to the manifestation of devastating infections followed by diseases in cultivated plants [2][3][4]. Majorly, crop infections are caused by plant pathogens such as bacteria [5], fungi [6,7], and viruses [8][9][10][11][12]. Phytoviruses have been reported for several decades as the most contagious pathogens which cause drastic effects on plants.…”

Plant viruses are the most destructive pathogens which cause devastating losses to crops due to their diversity in the genome, rapid evolution, mutation or recombination in the genome, and lack of management options. It is important to develop a reliable remedy to improve the management of plant viral diseases in economically important crops. Some reports show the efficiency of metal nanoparticles and engineered nanomaterials and their wide range of applications in nanoagriculture. Currently, there are reports for the use of nanoparticles as an antibacterial and antifungal agent in plants and animals too, but few reports as plant antiviral. “Nanophytovirology” has been emerged as a new branch that covers nanobased management approaches to deal with devastating plant viruses. Varied nanoparticles have specific physicochemical properties that help them to interact in various unique and useful ways with viruses and their vectors along with the host plants. To explore the antiviral role of nanoparticles and for the effective management of plant viruses, it is imperative to understand all minute details such as the concentration/dosage of nanoparticles, time of application, application interval, and their mechanism of action. This review focused on different aspects of metal nanoparticles and metal oxides such as their interaction with plant viruses to explore the antiviral role and the multidimensional perspective of nanotechnology in plant viral disease detection, treatment, and management.

Plants are infected by a number bacterial, fungal and virus species [4][5][6][7][8]. Viruses are considered as the minutest known microbes to the mankind and yet they reason for the most significant losses in agriculture sector [9], thus putting the plants under stress [10].…”

Nanotechnology positions as a new armament in our collection against the increasing challenges in disease management and plant/human health. The application of nanotechnology in plant/human disease administration, diagnosis, and genetic transformations is still in its early stages. Apart from the scope of this chapter, there is also a mounting collection of new tools and techniques where nanoparticles are employed as delivery vehicles for genetic material in plants. Due to their nanoscale dimensions, nanoparticles may knockout virus particles and thus may open a novel arena of virus control in plants/humans. Our aim is to enlighten and enthuse researchers about the swiftly expanding prospects of nanotechnology in plant pathology i.e., "nanophytovirology."
