Abstract Salinity and drought stress substantially decrease crop yield superiority, directly threatening the food supply needed to meet rising needs of growing total population. Nanotechnology is a step towards improving agricultural output tolerance by efficacy inputs in agriculture via targeted delivery, controlled release, enhanced solubility adhesion while also reducing significant damage. The direct application nanoparticles (NPs)/nanomaterials can boost performance effectiveness physio‐biochemical molecular mechanisms plants under conditions, leading advanced tolerance. Therefore, we presented effects plant responses explored potential nanomaterials for systems, discussed advantages applying NPs at various developmental stages alleviate negative salinity stress. Moreover, feature recent innovations state‐of‐the‐art nanobiotechnology, specifically NP‐mediated genome editing CRISPR/Cas system, develop stress‐smart crops. However, further investigations are unravel role nanobiotechnology addressing climate change challenges modern systems. We propose that combining speed breeding techniques could enable designing climate‐smart cultivars (particularly bred or genetically modified varieties) security world

Harnessing silicon nanoparticles and various forms of silicon for enhanced plant growth performance under salinity stress: application and mechanism

Discover Nano, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 20(1)

Опубликована: Май 29, 2025

Agricultural production faces significant losses due to salinity, drought, pests, insects, and weeds, particularly in nutrient- fertilizer-deficient soils. This review focuses on enhancing the productivity of crops grown dry saline environments. Silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) silicon compounds (SiO₂/SiO₃2⁻) have shown potential improve crop yields while mitigating effects biotic abiotic stresses. As an eco-friendly alternative chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, Si NPs stimulate germination, plant growth, biomass accumulation, nutrient absorption their small size, large surface area, ease cellular penetration. These reduce salinity stress by modulating gene expression, leading activation antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, CAT, APX, which help combat reactive oxygen species (ROS). Treatment with low concentrations nano-silica (100-300 mg/L) significantly enhances plants' tolerance salinity. NPs, when combined soluble polymeric materials rhizobacteria, provide a sustainable impact slow-release properties, offering prolonged protection against bacterial viral infections under conditions.

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is an important aromatic plant with high edibility and economic value, widely distributed in many regions of the tropics including south China. In recent years, environmental problems, especially soil salinization, have seriously restricted planting spread sweet basil. However, molecular mechanism salt stress response still largely unknown. this study, seed germination, seedling growth, chlorophyll synthesis were inhibited under conditions. Through comparative transcriptome analysis, gene modules involved metabolic processes, oxidative response, phytohormone signaling, cytoskeleton, photosynthesis screened out. addition, landscape transcription factors during treatment was displayed as well. Moreover, overexpression WRKY factor-encoding gene, ObWRKY16, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase-encoding ObPAL2, enhanced survival rate, respectively, transgenic Arabidopsis, suggesting that they might be candidates for creation salt-tolerant cultivars. Our data enrich study on responses provide essential resources genetic improvements future.
