Yang D, Fan J, Wang L. The functional division of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and earthworm to efficient cooperation on phytoremediation in molybdenum (Mo) contaminated soils. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 247:118270. [PMID: 38246294 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118270] [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: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Single phytoremediation has limited capacity to restore soil contaminated with extreme Mo due to its low metal accumulation. Soil organisms can help compensate for this deficiency in Mo-contaminated soils. However, there is limited information available on the integrated roles of different types of soil organisms, particularly the collaboration between soil microorganisms and soil animals, in phytoremediation. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a combination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and earthworms on the remediation of Mo-contaminated soils by alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). The results indicated that in the soil-alfalfa system, earthworms effectively drive soil Mo activation, while AMF significantly improve the contribution of the translocation factor to total Mo removal (TMR) in alfalfas (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, compared to individual treatments, the combination of AMF and earthworm enhanced the expression of alfalfa root specific Mo transporter - MOT1 family genes to increase alfalfa uptake Mo (p < 0.05). This alleviated the competition between P/S nutrients and Mo on non-specific Mo transporters-P/S transporters (p < 0.05). Additionally, the proportion of organelle-bound Mo in the root was reduced to decrease Mo toxicity, while the cell wall-bound Mo proportion in the shoot was increased to securely accumulate Mo. The contributions of inoculants to alfalfa TMR followed the order (maximum increases): AMF + E combination (274.68 %) > alone treatments (130 %). Overall, the "functional division and cooperation" between earthworm and AMF are of great importance to the creation of efficient multi-biological systems in phytoremediation.

Abstract
This study assessed the phytotoxicity of a mixture of five different trace elements (TEs) frequently found as pollutants in soils: arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead and zinc. On the other hand, the plant response to a magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle amendment on this mixture as well as nanomagnetite remediation potential has been tested. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) plants were grown for 90 days in soil contaminated with the five mentioned TEs at the limit levels of TEs in soils likely to receive sludge established by French legislation. Depending on the conditions, experimental set-ups were amended or not with 1% dry weight nanomagnetite (NPsMagn), citric acid-coated nanomagnetite (NPsMagn@CA) or micro-sized magnetite (μPs) in order to assess the behavior of nanomagnetites in a TEs-contaminated water-soil-plant system under repeated water-deficiency stress. The mixture of TEs did not induce phytotoxicity as estimated by plant growth, pigment content, maximum quantum yield of photosynthesis, oxidative impact and antioxidant response. Furthermore, both nanomagnetites treatments in a TEs-contaminated soil significantly increased biomass production by 64 % compared to control and antioxidant enzyme activities compared to control and TEs-treated plants. NPsMagn and NPsMagn@CA particularly enhance phytoextraction of Cd and Cu, increasing the amounts of TEs in aerial parts from 1.5 to 4.5 times compared to set-ups without nanomagnetites. Based on Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn contents in soil solutions, both nanomagnetites treatments improved TEs phytoextraction without increasing groundwater contamination. On the contrary, nanomagnetites significantly reduce arsenic uptake by plants and solubilization in dissolved phase. Our results show that modifying surface physicochemical properties of NPsMagn with citric acid coating does not improve their effects compared to bare NPsMagn. NPsMagn and NPsMagn@CA also appear to mitigate the effects of drought stress. This work highlights several positive environmental aspects related to the use of nanomagnetites in phytoremediation.

Abstract
Introduction Nano fertilizers can provide efficient solutions to the increasing problem of nutrient deficiency caused by low availability. However, the most important prerequisite is to fully understand whether nanomaterials induce phytotoxicity in plants under a variety of different conditions. The mechanisms underlying interactions between molybdenum nanoparticles (Mo NPs) and plants with respect to their uptake and biological effects on crops are still not fully understood. Methods In this study, the impacts of Mo NPs over a range of concentrations (0, 25, and 100 μg/mL) on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) seedling growth were comparatively evaluated under foliar applications and root irrigation. Results The results indicated that more significant active biological effects were observed with root irrigation application of Mo NPs than with foliar spraying. The agronomic attributes, water content and sugar content of Mo NPs-exposed seedlings were positively affected, and morphologically, Mo NPs induced root cell lignification and more vascular bundles and vessels in tobacco tissues, especially when applied by means of root irrigation. Moreover, the photosynthetic rate was improved by 131.4% for root exposure to 100 μg/mL Mo NPs, mainly due to the increased chlorophyll content and stomatal conductance. A significant concentration-dependent increase in malonaldehyde (MDA) and defensive enzyme activity for the Mo NPs-treated tobacco seedlings were detected compared to the controls. Significantly improved absorption of Mo by exposed tobacco seedlings was confirmed with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in tobacco tissues, regardless of application method. However, the accumulation of Mo in roots increased by 13.94 times, when roots were exposed to 100 mg/L Mo NPs, higher than that under treatment with foliar spray. Additionally, Mo NPs activated the expression of several genes related to photosynthesis and aquaporin processes. Discussion The present investigations offer a better understanding of Mo NPs-plant interactions in terrestrial ecosystems and provide a new strategy for the application of Mo NPs as nano fertilizers in crop production.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence materials (PLMs) are widely used across a multitude of fields due to their distinct optical properties. However, like other micron-sized materials such as microplastics, the production and recycling processes of PLMs can lead to their accumulation in soil and water, potentially posing detrimental effects on plant growth and development. In this study, we investigated the impact of commercially available blue PLM (bPLM), green PLM (gPLM), and red PLM (rPLM) on germination, seedling growth, and oxidative stress responses in rice. Our findings demonstrate that the morphology and size of PLMs do not significantly differ in their effects on rice growth. All three types of PLMs significantly inhibited root length and stem length, disrupted root cell structures, and decreased seedling biomass. Interestingly, gPLM and bPLM were found to stimulate the synthesis of osmolytes and chlorophyll in rice, while rPLM had the opposite effect. Changes in the antioxidant enzyme system in rice clearly indicated that the three types of PLMs induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage in rice. This study enhances our understanding of the potential environmental impacts of PLMs, offering valuable insights for the safe and responsible use of these materials in various applications.

Abstract
Prothioconazole (PTC) has been widely utilized for plant fungal disease control, but its metabolite prothioconazole-desthio (PTC-d) exhibits reproductive toxicity. In the present study, carbon quantum dot (CQD)-modified fluorescent double-hollow shelled mesoporous silica nanoparticles (FL-MSNs) loaded with PTC, referred to as PTC@FL-MSNs, were constructed with an average size of 369 nm and a loading capacity of 28.1 wt %, which could increase the antifungal efficiency of PTC. In addition, upright fluorescence microscope and UPLC-MS/MS studies showed that PTC@FL-MSNs could be effectively transported via root uptake and foliar spray in soybean plants. Compared to a 30% PTC dispersible oil suspension agent, the PTC@FL-MSN treatment group showed higher concentrations (leaves: 0.50 > 0.48 mg/kg), longer half-lives for degradation (leaves: 3.62 > 3.21 d; roots: 3.39 > 2.82 d), and fewer metabolites. These findings suggest that sustained pesticide release and toxicity reduction are potential applications for PTC nanofungicide delivery technology.

Abstract
The successful application of nanobiotechnology in biomedicine has greatly changed the traditional way of diagnosis and treating of disease, and is promising for revolutionizing the traditional plant nanobiotechnology. Over the past few years, nanobiotechnology has increasingly expanded into plant research area. Nanomaterials can be designed as vectors for targeted delivery and controlled release of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, nucleotides, proteins, etc. Interestingly, nanomaterials with unique physical and chemical properties can directly affect plant growth and development; improve plant resistance to disease and stress; design as sensors in plant biology; and even be used for plant genetic engineering. Similarly, there have been concerns about the potential biological toxicity of nanomaterials. Selecting appropriate characterization methods will help understand how nanomaterials interact with plants and promote advances in plant nanobiotechnology. However, there are relatively few reviews of tools for characterizing nanomaterials in plant nanobiotechnology. In this review, we present relevant imaging tools that have been used in plant nanobiotechnology to monitor nanomaterial migration, interaction with and internalization into plants at three-dimensional lengths. Including: 1) Migration of nanomaterial into plant organs 2) Penetration of nanomaterial into plant tissues (iii)Internalization of nanomaterials by plant cells and interactions with plant subcellular structures. We compare the advantages and disadvantages of current characterization tools and propose future optimal characterization methods for plant nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
Photo/radiosensitizers, such as octahedral molybdenum clusters (Mo6), have been intensively studied for photodynamic applications to treat various diseases. However, their delivery to the desired target can be hampered by its limited solubility, low stability in physiological conditions, and inappropriate biodistribution, thus limiting the therapeutic effect and increasing the side effects of the therapy. To overcome such obstacles and to prepare photofunctional nanomaterials, we employed biocompatible and water-soluble copolymers based on N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (pHPMA) as carriers of Mo6 clusters. Several strategies based on electrostatic, hydrophobic, or covalent interactions were employed for the formation of polymer-cluster constructs. Importantly, the luminescent properties of the Mo6 clusters were preserved upon association with the polymers: all polymer-cluster constructs exhibited an effective quenching of their excited states, suggesting a production of singlet oxygen (O2(1Δg)) species which is a major factor for a successful photodynamic treatment. Even though the colloidal stability of all polymer-cluster constructs was satisfactory in deionized water, the complexes prepared by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions underwent severe aggregation in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) accompanied by the disruption of the cohesive forces between the cluster and polymer molecules. On the contrary, the conjugates prepared by covalent interactions notably displayed colloidal stability in PBS in addition to high luminescence quantum yields, suggesting that pHPMA is a suitable nanocarrier for molybdenum cluster-based photosensitizers intended for photodynamic applications.

Abstract
The incorporation by ionic assembly of the hexanuclear molybdenum cluster (Bu4N)2[Mo6I8(CH3CO2)6] (1) in amino-decorated mesoporous silica nanoparticles MCM-41, has yielded the new molybdenum-based hybrid photosensitizer 1@MCM-41. The new photoactive material presents a high porosity, due to the intrinsic high specific surface area of MCM-41 nanoparticles (989 m2 g-1) which is responsible for the good dispersion of the hexamolybdenum clusters on the nanoparticles surface, as observed by STEM analysis. The hybrid photosensitizer can generate efficiently singlet oxygen, which was demonstrated by using the benchmark photooxygenation reaction of 9,10-anthracenediyl-bis(methylene)dimalonic acid (ABDA) in water. The photodynamic therapy activity has been tested using LED light as an irradiation source (λirr ~ 400-700 nm; 15.6 mW/cm2). The results show a good activity of the hybrid photosensitizer against human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells, reducing up to 70 % their viability after 20 min of irradiation, whereas low cytotoxicity is detected in the darkness. The main finding of this research is that the incorporation of molybdenum complexes at porous MCM-41 supports enhances their photoactivity and improves cellular uptake, compared to free clusters.

Abstract
Nano-priming is an innovative seed priming technology that helps to improve seed germination, seed growth, and yield by providing resistance to various stresses in plants. Nano-priming is a considerably more effective method compared to all other seed priming methods. The salient features of nanoparticles (NPs) in seed priming are to develop electron exchange and enhanced surface reaction capabilities associated with various components of plant cells and tissues. Nano-priming induces the formation of nanopores in shoot and helps in the uptake of water absorption, activates reactive oxygen species (ROS)/antioxidant mechanisms in seeds, and forms hydroxyl radicals to loosen the walls of the cells and acts as an inducer for rapid hydrolysis of starch. It also induces the expression of aquaporin genes that are involved in the intake of water and also mediates H2O2, or ROS, dispersed over biological membranes. Nano-priming induces starch degradation via the stimulation of amylase, which results in the stimulation of seed germination. Nano-priming induces a mild ROS that acts as a primary signaling cue for various signaling cascade events that participate in secondary metabolite production and stress tolerance. This review provides details on the possible mechanisms by which nano-priming induces breaking seed dormancy, promotion of seed germination, and their impact on primary and secondary metabolite production. In addition, the use of nano-based fertilizer and pesticides as effective materials in nano-priming and plant growth development were also discussed, considering their recent status and future perspectives.

Pesticide nanoencapsulation and its foliar application are promising approaches for improving the efficiency of current pesticide application practices, whose losses can reach 99%. Here, we investigated the uptake and translocation of azoxystrobin, a systemic pesticide, encapsulated within porous hollow silica nanoparticles (PHSNs) of a mean diameter of 253 ± 73 nm, following foliar application on tomato plants. The PHSNs had 67% loading efficiency for azoxystrobin and enabled its controlled release over several days. Thus, the nanoencapsulated pesticide was taken up and distributed more slowly than the nonencapsulated pesticide. A total of 8.7 ± 1.3 μg of the azoxystrobin was quantified in different plant parts, 4 days after 20 μg of nanoencapsulated pesticide application on a single leaf of each plant. In parallel, the uptake and translocation of the PHSNs (as total Si and particulate SiO2) in the plant were characterized. The total Si translocated after 4 days was 15.5 ± 1.6 μg, and the uptake rate and translocation patterns for PHSNs were different from their pesticide load. Notably, PHSNs were translocated throughout the plant, although they were much larger than known size-exclusion limits (reportedly below 50 nm) in plant tissues, which points to knowledge gaps in the translocation mechanisms of nanoparticles in plants. The translocation patterns of azoxystrobin vary significantly following foliar uptake of the nanosilica-encapsulated and nonencapsulated pesticide formulations.

Abstract
Vital plant functions require at least six metals (copper, iron, molybdenum, manganese, zinc, and nickel), which function as enzyme cofactors or inducers. In recent decades, rapidly evolving nanotechnology has created nanoforms of essential metals and their compounds (e.g. nZnO, nFe2O3) with a number of favourable properties over the bulk materials. The effects of nanometals on plants are concentration-dependent (hormesis) but also depend on the properties of the nanometals, the plant species, and the treatment conditions. Here, we review studies examining plant responses to essential nanometal treatments using a (multi)omics approach and emphasize the importance of gaining a holistic view of the diverse effects. Furthermore, we discuss the beneficial effects of essential nanometals on plants, which provide the basis for their application in crop production as, for example, nanopriming or nanostimulator agents, or nanofertilizers. As lower environmental impact and increased yield can be achieved by the application of essential nanometals, they support sustainable agriculture. Recent studies have actively examined the utilization of green-synthesized metal nanoparticles, which perfectly fit into the environmentally friendly trend of future agriculture. Further knowledge is required before essential nanometals can be safely applied in agriculture, but it is a promising direction that is timely to investigate.

Abstract
Biological applications of octahedral molybdenum cluster complexes are complicated by their hydrolytic instability, since hydrolysis leads to irreversible changes in the structure and properties of these compounds. On the other hand, if such changes are thoroughly investigated and understood, the hydrolysis process can become an important tool for regulating specific biological effects of the clusters. In this work, we demonstrate how the luminescence and biological properties (cellular uptake, cytotoxicity in the dark and photodynamic effect) of highly unstable cluster complex [{Mo6I8}(DMSO)6](NO3)4 change along with the degree of hydrolysis. Particularly, cluster solution preliminarily aged in water demonstrated lower dark and higher photoinduced cytotoxicity and higher cellular uptake in comparison with fresh solution.

Abstract
Knowledge of dissolution, aggregation, and stability of nanoagrochemicals in root exudates (RE) and soil leachate will contribute to improving delivery mechanisms, transport in plants, and bioavailability. We characterized aggregation, stability, and dissolution of four nanoparticles (NPs) in soybean RE and soil leachate: nano-CeO2, nano-Mn3O4, nano-Cu(OH)2, and nano-MoO3. Aggregation differed considerably in different media. In RE, nano-Cu(OH)2, and nano-MoO3 increased their aggregate size for 5 days; their mean sizes increased from 518 ± 43 nm to 938 ± 32 nm, and from 372 ± 14 nm to 690 ± 65 nm, respectively. Conversely, nano-CeO2 and nano-Mn3O4 disaggregated in RE with time, decreasing from 289 ± 5 nm to 129 ± 10 nm, and from 761 ± 58 nm to 143 ± 18 nm, respectively. Organic acids in RE and soil leachate can be adsorbed onto particle surfaces, influencing aggregation. Charge of the four NPs was negative in contact with RE and soil leachate, due to organic matter present in RE and soil leachate. Dissolution in RE after 6 days was 38%, 1.2%, 0.5%, and <0.1% of the elemental content of MoO3, Cu(OH)2, Mn3O4, and CeO2 NPs. Thus, the bioavailability and efficiency of delivery of the NPs or their active ingredients will be substantially modified soon after they are in contact with RE or soil leachate.

Abstract
Metabolomics is an emerging tool to understand the potential implications of nanotechnology, particularly for agriculture. Although molybdenum (Mo) is a known plant micronutrient, little is known of its metabolic perturbations. Here, corn and wheat seedlings were exposed to MoO3 nanoparticles (NPs) and the corresponding bioavailable Mo6+ ion at moderate and excessive levels through root exposures. Physiologically, corn was more sensitive to Mo, which accumulated up to 3.63 times more Mo than wheat. In contrast, metabolomics indicated 21 dysregulated metabolites in corn leaves and 53 in wheat leaves. Five more metabolomic pathways were perturbed in wheat leaves compared to corn leaves. In addition to the overall metabolomics analysis, we also analyzed individual metabolite classes (e.g., amino acids, organic acids, etc.), yielding additional dysregulated metabolites in plant tissues: 7 for corn and 7 for wheat. Most of these were amino acids as well as some sugars. Additional significantly dysregulated metabolites (e.g., asparagine, fructose, reduced glutathione, mannose) were identified in both corn and wheat, due to Mo NP exposure, by employing individual metabolite group analysis. Targeted metabolite analysis of individual groups is thus important for finding additional significant metabolites. We demonstrate the value of metabolomics to study early stage plant responses to NP exposure.

Abstract
Compounds based on new cyanide cluster anions [{Mo6I8}(CN)6]2–, trans-[{Mo6I8}(CN)4(MeO)2]2– and trans-[{W6I8}(CN)2(MeO)4]2− were synthesized using mechanochemical or solvothermal synthesis. The crystal and electronic structures as well as spectroscopic properties of the anions were investigated. It was found that the new compounds exhibit red luminescence upon excitation by UV light in the solid state and solutions, as other cluster complexes based on {Mo6I8}4+ and {W6I8}4+ cores do. The compounds can be recrystallized from aqueous methanol solutions; besides this, it was shown using NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy that anions did not undergo hydrolysis in the solutions for a long time. These facts indicate that hydrolytic stabilization of {Mo6I8} and {W6I8} cluster cores can be achieved by coordination of cyanide ligands.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by different methods and response mechanism of plants varied towards NPs based on their origin. To study the effects of bio synthesized (BS) and chemically synthesized (CS) silver NPs on soybean, a gel-free/ label-free proteomic technique was used. Length of root and hypocotyl was enhanced by BS compared to CS silver NPs. 10 ppm BS silver NPs enhanced the length of root and hypocotyl compared to 1 and 50 ppm. A total of 190 and 173 differentially changed proteins were identified in BS and CS silver NPs treated soybean, respectively. Twenty proteins commonly changed between BS and CS silver NPs treated soybean. Differentially-changed proteins were associated with protein-degradation and stress according to functional categorization. From proteomics, abundances of peroxidases were increased under CS silver NPs. Immunoblot analysis depicted that accumulation of ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and peroxiredoxin remained unchanged under both BS and CS silver NPs. ATP content decreased under CS silver NPs compared to BS silver NPs. ADH activity increased in CS silver NPs treated soybean. These results suggest that BS silver NPs enhanced the growth of soybean by regulating proteins related to protein-degradation and ATP contents, which are negatively affected by CS silver NPs. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This study highlighted the response mechanism of soybean towards bio synthesized (BS) and chemically synthesized (CS) silver nanoparticles (NPs) using a gel-free/ label-free proteomics technique. Length of root and hypocotyl was enhanced by BS silver NPs compared to CS silver NPs. 10 ppm BS silver NPs enhanced the length of root and hypocotyl compared to other concentrations. Differentially changed proteins were associated with protein degradation and stress. From the proteomics, the abundances of peroxidases were increased under CS silver NPs. Immunoblot analysis depicted that accumulation of ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and peroxiredoxin remained unchanged under both BS and CS silver NPs. ATP content decreased under CS silver NPs compared to BS silver NPs. ADH activity increased in CS silver NPs compared to BS silver NPs treated soybean.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have huge potential for improving use efficiency of agrochemicals, crop production, and soil health; however, the behavior and fate of ENMs and the potential for negative long-term impacts to agroecosystems remain largely unknown. In particular, there is a lack of clear understanding of the transformation of ENMs in both soil and plant compartments. The transformation can be physical, chemical, and/or biological, and may occur in soil, at the plant interface, and/or inside the plant. Due to these highly dynamic processes, ENMs may acquire new properties distinct from their original profile; as such, the behavior, fate, and biological effects may also differ significantly. Several essential questions in terms of ENMs transformation are discussed, including the drivers and locations of ENM transformation in the soil-plant system and the effects of ENM transformation on analyte uptake, translocation, and toxicity. The main knowledge gaps in this area are highlighted and future research needs are outlined so as to ensure sustainable nanoenabled agricultural applications.

Abstract
Phytotoxicity is one of the most important factors involved in the reduction of crop production. With the introduction of NaBiF4 nanoparticles, the effect of the particle size (>50 nm) on rice development was systematically studied. Through the exogenous treatment of multiple concentrations of nanoparticles, the primary root length, lateral root number, and lateral root length were significantly inhibited under higher content of nanoparticles, but more crown root formation was induced, which might be due to phytotoxicity. With the help of the red emission of the Eu3+-activated NaBiF4 nanoparticles, we could infer that the nanoparticles were accumulated in the root tip cells in the division and elongation zone but not in the mature region. Additionally, the investigation on the influence of the studied nanoparticles on the gene level and the expression of phytotoxicity related genes was performed to further identify the effect of the nanoparticles on the rice root development. These results potentially explain the effect of larger nanoparticles on phytotoxicity in the plant roots.

Abstract
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) has become an increasingly utilized tool in biologically relevant studies. Of these, high lateral resolution methodologies using the NanoSIMS 50/50L have been especially powerful within many biological fields over the past decade. Here, the authors provide a review of this technology, sample preparation and analysis considerations, examples of recent biological studies, data analyses, and current outlooks. Specifically, the authors offer an overview of SIMS and development of the NanoSIMS. The authors describe the major experimental factors that should be considered prior to NanoSIMS analysis and then provide information on best practices for data analysis and image generation, which includes an in-depth discussion of appropriate colormaps. Additionally, the authors provide an open-source method for data representation that allows simultaneous visualization of secondary electron and ion information within a single image. Finally, the authors present a perspective on the future of this technology and where they think it will have the greatest impact in near future.

The [Mo₆Cl 14] 2- Cluster is Biologically Secure and Has Anti-Rotavirus Activity In Vitro. Molecules 2017; 22:E1108. [PMID: 28678175 PMCID: PMC6152029 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22071108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2017] [Revised: 06/26/2017] [Accepted: 06/29/2017] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The molybdenum cluster [Mo₆Cl14]2- is a fluorescent component with potential for use in cell labelling and pharmacology. Biological safety and antiviral properties of the cluster are as yet unknown. Here, we show the effect of acute exposition of human cells and red blood cells to the molybdenum cluster and its interaction with proteins and antiviral activity in vitro. We measured cell viability of HepG2 and EA.hy926 cell lines exposed to increasing concentrations of the cluster (0.1 to 250 µM), by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay. Hemolysis and morphological alterations of red blood cells, obtained from healthy donors, exposed to the cluster (10 to 200 µM) at 37 °C were analyzed. Furthermore, quenching of tryptophan residues of albumin was performed. Finally, plaque formation by rotavirus SA11 in MA104 cells treated with the cluster (100 to 300 µM) were analyzed. We found that all doses of the cluster showed similar cell viability, hemolysis, and morphology values, compared to control. Quenching of tryptophan residues of albumin suggests a protein-cluster complex formation. Finally, the cluster showed antiviral activity at 300 µM. These results indicate that the cluster [Mo₆Cl14]2- could be intravenously administered in animals at therapeutic doses for further in vivo studies and might be studied as an antiviral agent.

Abstract
Increased application of engineered nano particles (ENPs) in production of various appliances and consumer items is increasing their presence in the natural environment. Although a wide variety of nano particles (NPs) are ubiquitously dispersed in ecosystems, risk assessment guidelines to describe their ageing, direct exposure, and long-term accumulation characteristics are poorly developed. In this review, we describe what is known about the life cycle of ENPs and their impact on natural systems and examine if there is a cohesive relationship between their transformation processes and bio-accessibility in various food chains. Different environmental stressors influence the fate of these particles in the environment. Composition of solid media, pore size, solution chemistry, mineral composition, presence of natural organic matter, and fluid velocity are some environmental stressors that influence the transformation, transport, and mobility of nano particles. Transformed nano particles can reduce cell viability, growth and morphology, enhance oxidative stress, and damage DNA in living organisms.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are used in a wide range of everyday products, leading to increasing concerns regarding their accumulation in soils and subsequent impact on plants. Using single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) and synchrotron-based techniques including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM), we characterized the uptake, speciation, and translocation of insoluble Ag2S-NPs (an environmentally-relevant form of Ag-NPs in soils) within two plant species, a monocot and a dicot. Exposure to 10 mg Ag L-1 as Ag2S-NPs for one week resulted in a substantial increase in leaf Ag concentrations (3.8 to 5.8 μg Ag g-1 dry mass). Examination using XAS revealed that most of the Ag was present as Ag2S (>91%). Furthermore, analyses using spICP-MS confirmed that these Ag2S particles within the leaves had a markedly similar size distribution to those supplied within the hydroponic solution. These observations, for the first time, provide direct evidence that plants take up Ag2S-NPs without a marked selectivity in regard to particle size and without substantial transformation (dissolution or aggregation) during translocation from roots to shoots. Furthermore, after uptake, these Ag2S-NPs reduced growth, partially due to the solubilisation of Ag+ in planta, which resulted in an upregulation of genes involved in the ethylene signalling pathway. Additionally, the upregulation of the plant defense system as a result of Ag2S-NPs exposure may have contributed to the decrease in plant growth. These results highlight the risks associated with Ag-NP accumulation in plants and subsequent trophic transfer via the food chain.

Abstract
The interaction of a plethora nanoparticles with major biota such as plants and animals/humans has been the subject of various multidisciplinary studies with special emphasis on toxicity aspects. However, reports are meager on the transport phenomena of nanoparticles in the plant-animal/human system. Since plants and animals/humans are closely linked via food chain, discussion is imperative on the main processes and mechanisms underlying the transport phenomena of nanoparticles in the plant-animal/human system, which is the main objective of this paper. Based on the literature appraised herein, it is recommended to perform an exhaustive exploration of so far least explored aspects such as reproducibility, predictability, and compliance risks of nanoparticles, and insights into underlying mechanisms in context with their transport phenomenon in the plant-animal/human system. The outcomes of the suggested studies can provide important clues for fetching significant benefits of rapidly expanding nanotechnology to the plant-animal/human health-improvements and protection as well.

Abstract
The agronomic application of nanotechnology in plants (phytonanotechnology) has the potential to alter conventional plant production systems, allowing for the controlled release of agrochemicals (e.g., fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides) and target-specific delivery of biomolecules (e.g., nucleotides, proteins, and activators). An improved understanding of the interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) and plant responses, including their uptake, localization, and activity, could revolutionize crop production through increased disease resistance, nutrient utilization, and crop yield. Herewith, we review potential applications of phytonanotechnology and the key processes involved in the delivery of NPs to plants. To ensure both the safe use and social acceptance of phytonanotechnology, the adverse effects, including the risks associated with the transfer of NPs through the food chain, are discussed.

Abstract
Metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) may be translocated and biochemically modified in vivo, which may influence the fate of MNPs in the environment. Here, synchrotron-based techniques were used to investigate the behavior of CuO NPs in rice plants exposed to 100 mg/L CuO NPs for 14 days. Micro X-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF) and micro X-ray absorption near edge structure (μ-XANES) analysis revealed that CuO NPs moved into the root epidermis, exodermis, and cortex, and they ultimately reached the endodermis but could not easily pass the Casparian strip; however, the formation of lateral roots provided a potential pathway for MNPs to enter the stele. Moreover, bulk-XANES data showed that CuO NPs were transported from the roots to the leaves, and that Cu (II) combined with cysteine, citrate, and phosphate ligands and was even reduced to Cu (I). CuO NPs and Cu-citrate were observed in the root cells using soft X-ray scanning transmission microscopy (STXM).

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles (MeNPs) can be formed in living plants by reduction of the metal ions absorbed as soluble salts. It is very likely that plant metabolism has an important role in MeNP biosynthesis. The in vivo formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was observed in Brassica juncea, Festuca rubra and Medicago sativa. Plants were grown in Hoagland's solution for 30 days and then exposed for 24 h to a solution of 1,000 ppm AgNO3. In the leaf extracts of control plants, the concentrations of glucose, fructose, ascorbic acid, citric acid and total polyphenols were determined. Total Ag content in plant fractions was determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Despite the short exposure time, the Ag uptake and translocation to plant leaves was very high, reaching 6,156 and 2,459 mg kg-1 in B. juncea and F. rubra, respectively. Ultrastructural analysis was performed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and AgNPs were detected by TEM X-ray microanalysis. TEM images of plant fractions showed the in vivo formation of AgNPs in the roots, stems and leaves of the plants. In the roots, AgNPs were present in the cortical parenchymal cells, on the cell wall of the xylem vessels and in regions corresponding to the pits. In leaf tissues, AgNPs of different sizes and shapes were located close to the cell wall, as well as in the cytoplasm and within chloroplasts. AgNPs were not observed in the phloem of the three plant species. This is the first report of AgNP synthesis in living plants of F. rubra. The contents of reducing sugars and antioxidant compounds, proposed as being involved in the biosynthesis of AgNPs, were quite different between the species, thus suggesting that it is unlikely that a single substance is responsible for this process.

Abstract
Nanotechnology offers unique attributes to various industrial and consumer sectors, and has become a topic of high interest to scientific communities across the world. Our society has greatly benefitted from nanotechnology already, in that many products with novel properties and wide applicability have been developed and commercialized. However, the increased production and use of nanomaterials have raised concerns about the environmental fate and toxicological implications of nanoparticles and nanomaterials. Research has revealed that various nanomaterials may be hazardous to living organisms. Among biota, plants are widely exposed to released nanomaterials and are sensitive to their effects. The accumulation of nannmaterials in the environment is a potential threat, not only because of potential damage to plants hut also because nanoparticles may enter the food chain. Although the literature that addresses the safety of nanoproducts is growing, little is known about the mechanisms by which these materials produce toxicity on natural species, including humans. In this paper, we have reviewed the literature relevant to what phytotoxic impact fabricated nanoparticles (e.g., carbon nanotubes, metallic and metal oxide nanoparticles, and certain other nanomaterials) have on plants. Nanoparticles produce several effects on plant physiology and morphology. Nanoparticles are known to affect root structure, seed germination, and cellular metabolism. Nanoparticles inhibit growth, induce oxidative stress, morphogenetic abnormalities and produce clastogenic disturbances in several plant species. The size, shape and surface coating of NPs play an important role in determining their level of toxicity. Of course, the dose, route of administration, type of dispersion media, and environmental exposure also contribute to how toxic nanoparticles are to plants. Currently, nanotoxicity studies are only in their initial phases of development and more research will be required to identify the actual threat nanoproducts pose to the plant system. To date, data show that there is a large variation in the phytotoxicity caused by different NPs. Moreover, the studies conducted thus far have mostly relied on microscopy to detect effects. Studies that incorporate measures and analyses undertaken with more modern tools are needed. Among new data that are most urgently needed on NPs is how fabricated NPs behave once released into the environment, and how exposure to them may affect plant resistance, metabolic pathways, and plant genetic responses. In this review, we have attempted to collect, present and summarize recent findings from the literature on nanoparticle toxicity in plants. To strengthen the analysis, we propose a scheme for accessing NP toxicity. We also recommend how the potential challenges presented by increased production and release of NPs should be addressed. It is our belief and recommendation that every nanomaterial-based product be subjected to appropriate toxicity and associated assessment before being commercialized.

Abstract
Fagopyrum esculentum commonly named as buckwheat plant is pseudocereal food crops and healthy herbs but is not known as a bioindicator of environmental condition. In the present study, the effects of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) and microparticles (MPs) on plant growth, bioaccumulation, and antioxidative enzyme activity in buckwheat were estimated under hydroponic culture. The significant biomass reduction at concentrations of 10-2,000 mg/L was 7.7-26.4 % for the ZnO NP and 11.4-23.5 % for the ZnO MP treatment, (p < 0.05). ZnO NPs were observed in root cells and root cell surface by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis. Zn bioaccumulation in plant increased with increasing treatment concentrations. The upward translocation (translocation factor <0.2) of Zn in plant was higher with the ZnO NP treatment than that with the ZnO MP treatment. Additionally, reactive oxygen species generation by ZnO NPs was estimated as the reduced glutathione level and catalase activity, which would be a predictive biomarker of nanotoxicity. The results are the first study to evaluate the phytotoxicity of ZnO NPs to medicinal plant. F. esculentum can be as a good indicator of plant species in NP-polluted environment.
