NANOPARTICLES UPTAKE, UTILIZATION AND PHYTOTOXICITY IN PLANTS

The applications of nanoparticles in agriculture are rapidly increasing owing to the unique characteristics and advantages of the nanoparticles. It is considered widely because of its efficiency in reducing the load of chemicals used in agriculture. However, regardless of all the advantages, they still threaten the health of living organisms and the environment. Consequently, collecting additional data and acquiring a deeper understanding of nanoparticles' absorption, translocation, and toxicity in plants is crucial. But the mechanism behind the uptake, translocation and phytotoxicity mechanism is still unclear. This chapter explores the absorption of nanoparticles through leaves and roots, factors influencing the uptake mechanism, translocation pathways, and phytotoxicity.
