Nanomaterials in plant management: functions, mechanisms and prospects

Abstract

Efficient, sustainable agricultural methods are critical to meet the food requirements of a rapidly growing global population. Nanotechnology is a promising tool for addressing the mounting challenges in agricultural production; numerous studies support the roles of nanomaterials in plant health and disease management. In this review, we summarize current applications of nanomaterials in plant tissue culture and production from the perspectives of nutrients, carriers, detectors, and crop protectants. We also discuss potential mechanisms for improving plant growth and biotic and abiotic stress resistance via nanoparticle application. This review is expected to aid researchers in optimal use of nanotechnology to support development in the agricultural sector.
