Plant diseases caused by microbial pathogens pose a severe threat to global food security. Although genetic modifications can improve plant resistance; however, environmentally sustainable strategies are needed manage diseases. Nano-enabled immunomodulation involves using engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) modulate the innate immune system of plants and enhance their resilience against pathogens. This emerging approach provides unique opportunities through ability ENMs act as nanocarriers for delivering immunomodulatory agents, nanoprobes monitoring immunity, nanoparticles (NPs) that directly interact with cells trigger responses. Recent studies revealed application nanoscale agrochemicals strengthen immunity biotic stress enhancing systemic resistance pathways, modulating antioxidant defense systems, activating defense-related pathways reshaping plant-associated microbiomes. However, key challenges remain in unraveling complex mechanisms which influence molecular networks, assessing long-term environmental impacts, developing biodegradable formulations, optimizing targeted delivery methods. review comprehensive investigation latest research on nano-enabled strategies, potential action, highlights future perspectives overcome existing disease management.

Optimizing SiO₂ Nanoparticle Structures to Enhance Drought Resistance in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.): Insights into Nanoparticle Dissolution and Plant Stress Response

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 9, 2025

Drought stress significantly limits crop productivity and poses a critical threat to global food security. Silica nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) have shown potential mitigate drought stress, but the role of nanostructure on overall efficacy remains unclear. This study evaluated solid (SSiO2NPs), porous (PSiO2NPs), hollow (HSiO2NPs) SiO2NPs for their effects drought-stressed tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Silicic acid release rates followed order: HSiO2NPs > PSiO2NPs SSiO2NPs Bulk-SiO2. Compared untreated controls, foliar application under improved shoot Si concentrations plants' dry weight. These treatments also enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase) phytohormone-targeted metabolome levels (jasmonic acid, salicylic auxin), contributing greater tolerance. Conversely, SSiO2NPs, silicic Bulk-SiO2 had minimal impact plant weight or physiological responses. results highlight importance architecture in alleviating promoting sustainable agriculture.
