PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 207:108428. [PMID: 38364633 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is one of the essential elements for plant growth and is involved in the process of photosynthesis and seed germination. Herein, we applied two Mn-based nanoparticles, MnO2 and Mn3O4, to the soil to investigate their effects on radish growth, antioxidant system, and nutrients. The radish plant height after treatment with 10 mg/kg of MnO2 and Mn3O4 NPs were increased, compare to the control. In radish's shoot, MnO2 NPs at high concentrations (100 mg/kg) increased MDA activity by 58 % compared to the control group, while exposure to Mn3O4 NPs at the same concentration decreased MDA activity by 14 %. The nutrient content of radishes, such as soluble sugar and vitamin C, was improved. Moreover, single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP ICP-MS) was used to understand the patterns of migration of Mn-based NPs in radish and subsequent impact on nutrients. We found that Mn-based NPs accumulated mainly in the roots of radish. Interestingly, the accumulation characteristics of MnO2 NPs and Mn3O4 NPs were different. MnO2 NPs accumulated more in radish leaves than in fruits, while the accumulation of Mn3O4 NPs gradually decreased from roots to leaves. Finally, we determined the mineral element content of the leaves, fruits, and roots of radish, and found that the uptake of main metallic mineral elements (e.g. Cu, Fe, Mg, Zn, Na, K) was inhibited by the application of Mn-based NPs. These findings underscore the importance of considering species and multifaceted impacts of Mn-based NPs as nanofertilizers for their wide application in agriculture.

Abstract
Global warming has posed significant pressure on agricultural productivity. The resulting abiotic stresses from high temperatures and drought have become serious threats to plants and subsequent global food security. Applying nanomaterials in agriculture can balance the plant's oxidant level and can also regulate phytohormone levels and thus maintain normal plant growth under heat and drought stresses. Nanomaterials can activate and regulate specific stress-related genes, which in turn increase the activity of heat shock protein and aquaporin to enable plants' resistance against abiotic stresses. This review aims to provide a current understanding of nanotechnology-enhanced plant tolerance to heat and drought stress. Molecular mechanisms are explored to see how nanomaterials can alleviate abiotic stresses on plants. In comparison with organic molecules, nanomaterials offer the advantages of targeted transportation and slow release. These advantages help the nanomaterials in mitigating drought and heat stress in plants.

Abstract
The use of various chemical substances to control pests, diseases, and weeds in the field is a necessary part of the agricultural development process in every country. While the application of pesticides can improve the quality and yield of crops, plant resistance and the harm caused by pesticide residues to the environment and humans have led to the search for greener and safer pesticide formulations to improve the current situation. In recent years, nanopesticides (NPts) have shown great potential in agriculture due to their high efficiency, low toxicity, targeting, resistance, and controlled slow release demonstrated in the experimental stage. Commonly used approaches to prepare NPts include the use of nanoscale metal materials as active ingredients (AI) (ingredients that can play a role in insecticide, sterilization and weeding) or the construction of carriers based on commonly used pesticides to make them stable in nano-sized form. This paper systematically summarizes the advantages and effects of NPts over conventional pesticides, analyzes the formation and functions of NPts in terms of structure, AI, and additives, and describes the mechanism of action of NPts. Despite the feasibility of NPts use, there is not enough comprehensive research on NPts, which must be supplemented by more experiments in terms of biotoxicology and ecological effects to provide strong support for NPts application.

Abstract
Due to the growing number of the world's population, there is an urgent need for high-quality food to meet global food security. Traditional fertilizers and pesticides face the problems of low utilization efficiency and possible hazards to non-target organisms. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for animals and humans. As a result, Se nanoparticles (SeNPs) have aroused intense interest and found opportunities in agricultural use. Herein, we summarized representative studies on the potential application of SeNPs in agriculture, including mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses in plants, promoting seed germination and plant growth, and improving Se contents and nutritional values in crops, and the underlying mechanisms were also discussed. Finally, future directions are highlighted to get a deep insight into this field.

Abstract
The development of effective and ecofriendly agrochemicals, including bactericides, fungicides, insecticides, and nematicides, to control pests and prevent plant diseases remains a key challenge. Nanotechnology has provided opportunities for the use of nanomaterials as components in the development of anti-phytopathogenic agents. Indeed, inorganic-based nanoparticles (INPs) are among the promising ones. They may play an effective role in targeting and killing microbes via diverse mechanisms, such as deposition on the microbe surface, destabilization of cell walls and membranes by released metal ions, and the induction of a toxic mechanism mediated by the production of reactive oxygen species. Considering the lack of new agrochemicals with novel mechanisms of action, it is of particular interest to determine and precisely depict which types of INPs are able to induce antimicrobial activity with no phytotoxicity effects, and which microbe species are affected. Therefore, this review aims to provide an update on the latest advances in research focusing on the study of several types of engineered INPs, that are well characterized (size, shape, composition, and surface features) and show promising reactivity against assorted species (bacteria, fungus, virus). Since effective strategies for plant protection and plant disease management are urgently needed, INPs can be an excellent alternative to chemical agrochemical agents as indicated by the present studies.
