Agriculture is an important source of human food. However, current agricultural practices need modernizing and strengthening to fulfill the increasing food requirements growing worldwide population. Genome editing (GE) technology has been used produce plants with improved yields nutritional value as well higher resilience herbicides, insects, diseases. Several GE tools have developed recently, including clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) nucleases, a customizable successful method. The main steps process involve introducing transgenes or CRISPR into via specific gene delivery systems. certain limitations, time-consuming complicated protocols, potential tissue damage, DNA incorporation in host genome, low transformation efficiency. To overcome these issues, nanotechnology emerged groundbreaking modern technique. Nanoparticle-mediated superior conventional biomolecular approaches because it enhances efficiency for both temporal (transient) permanent (stable) genetic modifications various plant species. discoveries advanced technologies, challenges developing short-term breeding strategy remain. Thus, this review, nanobased systems engineering are discussed detail. Moreover, we suggested effective method hasten crop improvement programs by combining such speed CRISPR/Cas, nanotechnology. overall aim review provide detailed overview nanotechnology-based techniques suggest applications possible enhancement.

Sustainable agriculture is a key component of the effort to meet increased food demand rapidly increasing global population. Nano-biotechnology promising tool for sustainable agriculture. However, rather than acting as nanocarriers, some nanoparticles (NPs) with unique physiochemical properties inherently enhance plant growth and stress tolerance. This biological role depends on their properties, application method (foliar delivery, hydroponics, soil), applied concentration. Here we review effects different types, concentrations various abiotic (salinity, drought, heat, high light, heavy metals) biotic (pathogens herbivores) stresses. The ability stimulate by positive seed germination, root or shoot growth, biomass grain yield also considered. information presented herein will allow researchers within outside nano-biotechnology field better select appropriate starting materials in agricultural applications. Ultimately, shift from testing/utilizing existing designing specific based needs facilitate use nanotechnology

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic relationships with the roots of nearly all land-dwelling plants, increasing growth and productivity, especially during abiotic stress. AMF improves plant development by improving nutrient acquisition, such as phosphorus, water, mineral uptake. tolerance resilience to stressors drought, salt, heavy metal toxicity. These benefits come from arbuscular interface, which lets fungal partners exchange nutrients, signalling molecules, protective chemical compounds.
