Nanoparticles (NPs) are dangerous micro-pollutants that exhibit biotoxicity even in low (nanogram range) concentrations. Apart from direct toxicity to living organisms, NPs can absorb and transfer organic or inorganic toxicants, as well as potentiate the toxicity of other micropollutants. Increasing use of NPs in the industrial and domestic applications leads to their increased production and discharge into the environment giving rise to diverse risks for ecosystems. These risks are exacerbated by the resilience of NPs to biodegradation in natural ecosystems and traditional wastewater treatment plants. Efficient NPs removal technologies are

“…The field of engineered nanomaterials has gained increasing attention over the last years in human health science, optoelectronics, agriculture, food science, and in everyday use products [1]. Metal oxide nanoparticles (MO NPs) have shown fascinating physical and chemical properties, such as good sensitivity, catalytic and selective activity, unusual adsorptive behavior, and superparamagnetic state (Table 1) [2,3]. Different studies focused on easy and efficient synthesis methods, a few of which implementing "green chemistry approaches," providing thus a variety of different strategies to efficiently achieve the desired size, shape, structure, morphology, stabilization, and nonagglomeration.…”

“…For instance, it seems that the smaller the nanoparticles are, the higher is the antibacterial activity they exert [2,7]. Moreover, due to their metallic core, MO NPs can be used as plasmon resonance agents, in cancer therapeutics and theranostics (Table 1) [3,8].…”

Metal oxide nanoparticles (MO NPs) are increasingly employed in many fields with a wide range of applications from industries to drug delivery. Due to their semiconducting properties, metal oxide nanoparticles are commonly used in the manufacturing of several commercial products available in the market, including cosmetics, food additives, textile, paint, and antibacterial ointments. The use of metallic oxide nanoparticles for medical and cosmetic purposes leads to unavoidable human exposure, requiring a proper knowledge of their potentially harmful effects. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the possible toxicity of metallic oxide nanoparticles in zebrafish during both adulthood and growth stages, with an emphasis on the role of oxidative stress.

“…These limitations also apply to new nano-chelates under development ( Yuan et al, 2018 ). Indeed, the increasing use of nanoparticles raises concerns for human health or the environment ( Soares and Soares, 2021 ). In short, efficient Fe fertilizers have several drawbacks: they are expensive, their efficiency is variable, and they can be incorporated in the host plant including its edible parts.…”

Importance of the Rhizosphere Microbiota in Iron Biofortification of Plants

et al. 2021

Increasing the iron content of plant products and iron assimilability represents a major issue for human nutrition and health. This is also a major challenge because iron is not readily available for plants in most cultivated soils despite its abundance in the Earth’s crust. Iron biofortification is defined as the enhancement of the iron content in edible parts of plants. This biofortification aims to reach the objectives defined by world organizations for human nutrition and health while being environment friendly. A series of options has been proposed to enhance plant iron uptake and fight against hidden hunger, but they all show limitations. The present review addresses the potential of soil microorganisms to promote plant iron nutrition. Increasing knowledge on the plant microbiota and plant-microbe interactions related to the iron dynamics has highlighted a considerable contribution of microorganisms to plant iron uptake and homeostasis. The present overview of the state of the art sheds light on plant iron uptake and homeostasis, and on the contribution of plant-microorganism (plant-microbe and plant-plant-microbe) interactions to plant nutritition. It highlights the effects of microorganisms on the plant iron status and on the co-occurring mechanisms, and shows how this knowledge may be valued through genetic and agronomic approaches. We propose a change of paradigm based on a more holistic approach gathering plant and microbial traits mediating iron uptake. Then, we present the possible applications in plant breeding, based on plant traits mediating plant-microbe interactions involved in plant iron uptake and physiology.
