Critical Review: Uptake and Translocation of Organic Nanodelivery Vehicles in Plants

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 58(13), С. 5646 - 5669

Опубликована: Март 22, 2024

Nanodelivery vehicles (NDVs) are engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) that, within the agricultural sector, have been investigated for their ability to improve uptake and translocation of agrochemicals, control release, or target specific tissues subcellular compartments. Both inorganic organic NDVs studied agrochemical delivery in literature, but research on latter has slower develop than literature former. Since two classes exhibit significant differences surface chemistry, physical deformability, even colloidal stability, trends that apply may not hold NDVs, vice versa. We here review current uptake, translocation, biotransformation, cellular internalization plants following foliar root administration. A background plant physiology is provided as a leveling ground researchers field. Trends examined function NDV properties compared those reported nanomaterials. Methods assessing fate transport (a major bottleneck field) discussed. end by identifying knowledge gaps must be understood order rationally design precision nanodelivery.

Soil salinity is a serious global problem that threatens high percentage of the soils. Salinity stress can create ionic, oxidative, and osmotic stress, along with hormonal imbalances, in stressful plants. This kind was investigated on agricultural productivity at different levels, starting vitro (plant tissue culture), through hydroponics, pots, field conditions. Several approaches were studied for managing including using traditional materials (e.g., gypsum, sulfur), organic amendments compost, biochar, chitosan), applied manufactured or engineered nanomaterials (NMs). Application ameliorating has gained great attention due to their efficiency, eco-friendliness, non-toxicity, especially biological nanomaterials.
