A Systematic Review on the Scope and Applications of Nanomaterials in the Plant Systems: Current and Prospects

Abstract: Nanoparticles are essential tools used in manipulating plants, and there is a wide variety of nanoparticles, each with its own uses for different plants. Plants undergo minuscule gene manipulations that give them advantages and endurance. When particles are reduced to the nanometer scale, they exhibit a high surface area to volume ratio, resulting in unique properties that allow for systematic applications in engineering, biomedical, agricultural, and related fields. Nanomaterials can be created through bottom-up or top-down procedures using physical, chemical, and organic synthesis methods. This review study explores the use of different nano materials in the agricultural sector and the impact of silica nanoparticles, metal oxide, and metal nanoparticles on plant metabolic processes. Additionally, the impacts of nanoparticles on microbes, bacteria, and other pathogens are also being analyzed.
