Critical Review: Role of Inorganic Nanoparticle Properties on Their Foliar Uptake and in Planta Translocation

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 55(20), С. 13417 - 13431

Опубликована: Май 14, 2021

There is increasing pressure on global agricultural systems due to higher food demand, climate change, and environmental concerns. The design of nanostructures proposed as one the economically viable technological solutions that can make agrochemical use (fertilizers pesticides) more efficient through reduced runoff, increased foliar uptake bioavailability, decreased impacts. However, gaps in knowledge about transport nanoparticles across leaf surface their behavior planta limit rational for delivery with controlled fate limited risk. Here, current literature nano-objects deposited leaves reviewed. different possible routes (stomata, cuticle, trichomes, hydathodes, necrotic spots) are discussed, along paths translocation, via phloem, from end sinks (mature developing tissues, roots, rhizosphere). This review details interplays between morphological constraints, stimuli, physical-chemical properties influencing fate, transformation, after deposition. A metadata analysis existing highlighted plant used testing nanoparticle most often dicotyledon plants (75%), while monocotyledons (as cereals) less considered. Correlations parameters calculated indicated dose, size, zeta potential, affinity organic phases correlated leaf-to-sink demonstrating targeting specific compartments by should be achievable. also showed time growth seemed drivers mobility, largely overlooked literature. thus highlights material opportunities targeted, stimuli driven deliveries safe nanomaterials agriculture.
