The Impact of Nanomaterials on Photosynthesis and Antioxidant Mechanisms in Gramineae Plants: Research Progress and Future Prospects

Plants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(7), P. 984 - 984

Published: March 29, 2024

As global food security faces challenges, enhancing crop yield and stress resistance becomes imperative. This study comprehensively explores the impact of nanomaterials (NMs) on Gramineae plants, with a focus effects various types nanoparticles, such as iron-based, titanium-containing, zinc, copper plant photosynthesis, chlorophyll content, antioxidant enzyme activity. We found that nanoparticles largely depend their chemical properties, particle size, concentration, species developmental stage plant. Under appropriate conditions, specific NMs can promote root development enhance increase content. Notably, iron-based titanium-containing show significant in promoting synthesis growth. However, oxidative is complex. certain plants’ activity, improving ability to withstand environmental stresses; excessive or inappropriate may cause stress, affecting growth development. Copper particular, exhibit this dual nature, being beneficial at low concentrations but potentially harmful high concentrations. provides theoretical basis for future nanofertilizers aimed precisely targeting plants capacity improve photosynthesis efficiency. emphasize importance balancing agricultural advantages nanotechnology safety practical applications. Future research should deeper understanding interaction mechanisms between more explore strategies reduce potential impacts ensure health sustainability ecosystem while quality crops.
