The use of man-made nanoparticles (NPs) has increased exponentially in recent years, many which accumulate significant quantities soil, including through agriculture as nanofertilizers and nanopesticides. ZnO NPs are more environmentally friendly but have specific antimicrobial activity, can affect soil microbiota, thereby influencing key microbial processes such mineralization, nitrogen fixation plant growth-promoting activities. Their behavior persistence depend on their chemical nature characteristics. This review summarizes the applications systems effects various plants microorganisms, particularly rhizobacteria that promote growth. A stimulating effect morphometric biochemical characteristics plants, well microbiota its activity at relatively low concentrations up to 500 mg/mL 250 mg/kg, respectively, is observed. As concentration increases above these limits, toxic appear. different related size, dose, duration exposure, solubility water, type, acidity organic matter content. substantiates need study “soil-plant-microbiota” system for possibility using nanotechnologies agricultural industry ensuring safety products.

Inulin-Coated ZnO Nanoparticles: A Correlation between Preparation and Properties for Biostimulation Purposes

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 25(5), С. 2703 - 2703

Опубликована: Фев. 26, 2024

Within the framework of plant biostimulation, a pivotal role is played by achievement low-cost, easily prepared nanoparticles for priming purposes. Therefore, in this report, two different synthetic strategies are described to engineer zinc oxide with an inulin coating. In both protocols, i.e., two-step and gel-like one-pot highly pure ZnO kernel obtained when reaction carried out at T ≥ 40 °C, as ascertained XRD ATR/FTIR studies. However, uniformly dispersed, homogeneous coating achieved primarily temperatures, 60 °C employed phases step-wise synthesis. addition, binding mechanism, complexation, occurs case. When process employed, high degree coverage fructan attained, leading micrometric coated aggregates nanometric particles, revealed SEM investigations. All NPs from synthesis feature electronic bandgaps 3.25-3.30 eV range line previous studies, whereas extensive causes remarkable 0.4 decrease bandgap. Overall, global analysis investigations indicates that samples synthesized best suited biostimulation. Proof-of-principle assays upon

Nanoparticles as a Tool for Alleviating Plant Stress: Mechanisms, Implications, and Challenges

Plants, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(11), С. 1528 - 1528

Опубликована: Май 31, 2024

Plants, being sessile, are continuously exposed to varietal environmental stressors, which consequently induce various bio-physiological changes in plants that hinder their growth and development. Oxidative stress is one of the undesirable consequences triggered due imbalance antioxidant defense system. Biochemical studies suggest nanoparticles known affect system, photosynthesis, DNA expression plants. In addition, they boost capacity systems, thereby contributing tolerance oxidative stress. This review study attempts present overview role plant development, especially emphasizing as antioxidants. Furthermore, delves into intricate connections between signaling pathways, highlighting influence on gene stress-responsive mechanisms. Finally, implications nanoparticle-assisted strategies sustainable agriculture, considering potential enhance crop yield, tolerance, overall resilience, discussed.

Unraveling the Mechanistic Basis for Control of Seed Longevity

Plants, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(5), С. 805 - 805

Опубликована: Март 5, 2025

Seed longevity, which holds paramount importance for agriculture and biodiversity conservation, continues to represent a formidable frontier in plant biology research. While advances have been made identifying regulatory elements, the precise mechanisms behind seed lifespan determination remain intricate context-specific. This comprehensive review compiles extensive findings on longevity across species, focusing genetic environmental underpinnings. Inter-species differences are tied traits, with numerous Longevity-Associated Genes (SLAGs) uncovered. These SLAGs encompass transcription factors enzymes involved stress responses, repair pathways, hormone signaling. Environmental factors, particularly developmental conditions, significantly modulate longevity. Moreover, this deliberates prospects of genetically engineering varieties augmented by manipulation crucial components, exemplifying promising trajectory science its practical applications within preservation contexts. Collectively, our manuscript offers insights improving performance resilience agriculture’s evolving landscape.

Chemical Seed Priming: Molecules and Mechanisms for Enhancing Plant Germination, Growth, and Stress Tolerance

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 47(3), С. 177 - 177

Опубликована: Март 7, 2025

Food security is one of the world’s top challenges, specifically considering global issues like climate change. Seed priming strategy to improve crop production, typically via increased germination, yields, and/or stress tolerance. Hydropriming, or soaking seeds in water only, simplest form seed priming. However, addition certain agents has resulted a variety modified strategies, including osmopriming, halopriming, hormonal priming, PGR nutripriming, and others. Most current research focused on nutripriming. This review will focus specific compounds that have been used most often over past 3 years physiological effects they had crops. Over half recent four compounds: (1) salicylic acid, (2) zinc, (3) gibberellic (4) potassium nitrate. One interesting characteristics all chemical are exposed only yet confer benefits throughout plant development. In some cases, such passed subsequent generations, suggesting an epigenetic effect, which supported by observed changes DNA methylation histone modification. summarize state knowledge molecular mechanisms associated with discuss avenues for future research.
