Abstract
The need for sustainable agriculture amid a growing population and challenging climatic conditions is hindered by the environmental repercussions of widespread fertilizer use, resulting in the accumulation of metal ions and the loss of micronutrients. The present study provides an approach to improve the efficiency of nanofertilizers by controlling the release of copper (Cu) ions from copper oxide (CuO) nanofertilizers through bioionic liquids based on plant growth regulators (PGR-ILs). A 7-day study was conducted to understand the kinetics of Cu ion release in aqueous solution of five different PGR-ILs, with choline ascorbate ([Cho][Asc]) or choline salicylate ([Cho][Sal]) leading to 200- to 700-fold higher dissolution of Cu ions in comparison to choline indole-3-acetate ([Cho][IAA]), choline indole-3-butyrate ([Cho][IBA]), and choline gibberellate ([Cho][GA3]). The tunable diffusion of Cu ions from CuO nanofertilizers using PGR-ILs is then applied in a foliar spray study, evaluating its impact on the growth phenotype, photosynthetic parameters, and carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in Nicotiana tabacum in a greenhouse. The results indicate that nanoformulations with lower concentrations of Cu ions in PGR-IL solutions exhibit superior outcomes in terms of plant length, net photosynthetic rate, dry biomass yield, and CO2 sequestration, emphasizing the critical role of dissolution kinetics in determining the effectiveness of PGR-IL-based nanoformulations for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) have proven to be a game-changer in agriculture, showcasing their potential to boost plant growth and safeguarding crops. The agricultural sector has widely adopted NMs, benefiting from their small size, high surface area, and optical properties to augment crop productivity and provide protection against various stressors. This is attributed to their unique characteristics, contributing to their widespread use in agriculture. Human exposure from various components of agro-environmental sectors (soil, crops) NMs residues are likely to upsurge with exposure paths may stimulates bioaccumulation in food chain. With the aim to achieve sustainability, nanotechnology (NTs) do exhibit its potentials in various domains of agriculture also have its flip side too. In this review article we have opted a fusion approach using bibliometric based analysis of global research trend followed by a holistic assessment of pros and cons i.e. toxicological aspect too. Moreover, we have also tried to analyse the current scenario of policy associated with the application of NMs in agro-environment.

Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are widely used as fungicides in agriculture. Arsenic (As) is a ubiquitous contaminant in paddy soil. The present study was focused on the adsorption behavior of CuO NPs with regard to As as well as the characteristics of the microbial community changes in As-contaminated soil-rice systems in response to CuO NPs. The study found that CuO NPs could be a temporary sink of As in soil; a high dose of CuO NPs promoted the release of As from crystalline iron oxide, which increased the As content in the liquid phase. The study also found that the As bioavailability changed significantly when the dose of CuO NPs was higher than 50 mg kg-1 in the soil-rice system. The addition of 100 mg kg-1 CuO NPs increased the microbial diversity and the abundance of genes involved in As cycling, decreased the abundance of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria and sulfate-reducing genes, and decreased As accumulation in grains. Treatment with 500 mg kg-1 CuO NPs increased the abundance of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria and sulfate-reducing genes, decreased Fe plaques, and increased As accumulation in rice. The adverse effects of CuO NPs on crops and associated risks need to be considered carefully.

Endogenous indole-3-acetic acid and nitric oxide are required for calcium-mediated alleviation of copper oxide nanoparticles toxicity in wheat seedlings. PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2021; 173:2262-2275. [PMID: 34590723 DOI: 10.1111/ppl.13576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2020] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/25/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The action of nanoparticles is increasingly being studied in recent years to minimize their toxic impacts. Besides this, efforts are also being made to minimize their toxicity in crop plants by using various chemicals, i.e. nutrients, donors of signaling molecules, plant hormones, and so on. However, associated alleviatory mechanisms are still not well known. Therefore, in the present study, we have investigated the toxicity of CuONPs and its mitigation by exogenously applied calcium (Ca). The focus was on whether indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or endogenous nitric oxide (NO) has any role in accomplishing this task. CuONPs declined wheat growth due to increased accumulation of Cu and oxidative stress markers such as superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde) and it was also accompanied by a decline in endogenous NO. CuONPs also altered the redox status of ascorbate and glutathione by inhibiting the activity of their regenerating enzymes. This collectively leads to cell death in wheat seedlings. However, exogenous supplementation of Ca mitigated toxic effects of CuONPs by reducing the excess accumulation of Cu, which caused remarkable enhancement in growth, protein contents, photosynthetic pigments, and endogenous NO; altogether protecting wheat roots from cell death. Interestingly, addition of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) further increased CuONPs toxicity even in the presence of Ca, but the addition of IAA rescued this effect of TIBA. These results clearly show that Ca mitigates CuONPs toxicity in wheat seedlings by involving IAA. Further, the results also showed that endogenous NO has a positive and indispensable role in Ca-mediated mitigation of CuONPs toxicity in wheat seedlings.

Abstract
In this study, spinach plants exposed to fresh/unweathered (UW) or weathered (W) copper compounds in soil were analyzed for growth and nutritional composition. Plants were exposed for 45 days to freshly prepared or soil-aged (35 days) nanoparticulate CuO (nCuO), bulk-scale CuO (bCuO), or CuSO4 at 0 (control), 400, 400, and 40 mg/kg of soil, respectively. Foliar health, gas exchange, pigment content (chlorophyll and carotenoid), catalase and ascorbate peroxidase enzymes, gene expression, and Cu bioaccumulation were evaluated along with SEM imagery for select samples. Foliar biomass was higher in UW control (84%) and in UW ionic treatment (87%), compared to the corresponding W treatments (p ≤ 0.1). Root catalase activity was increased by 110% in UW bCuO treatment as compared to the W counterpart; the value for the W ionic treatment was increased by 2167% compared to the UW counterpart (p ≤ 0.05). At 20 days post-transplantation, W nCuO-exposed plants had ∼56% lower carotenoid content compared to both W control and the UW counterpart (p ≤ 0.05). The findings indicate that over the full life cycle of spinach plant the weathering process significantly deteriorates leaf pigment production under CuO exposure in particular and foliar health in general.

Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are widely used as a fungicide in agriculture. The application of CuO NPs in agriculture affects the growth of rice and metal accumulation in rice. However, the mechanism of CuO NPs on arsenic (As) accumulation in rice remains unclear. In this study, a hydroponic culture was produced to investigate the mechanism of the effect of 50 and 100 mg L-1 CuO NPs on As accumulation in rice. Our results showed that CuO NPs decreased As(III/V) accumulation in the roots and shoots by adsorbing As(III/V), oxidizing of As(III) on the surface, and thickening the root cell wall. The addition of CuO NPs regulated the expression of the OsNIP1;1, OsHAC1;1, and OsHAC4 genes, which decreased As(III) transport and promoted As(V) reduction in the roots. Moreover, when CuO NPs were co-exposed to As, a negative correlation between the concentration of Cu and As in rice was also found in our study. However, CuO NPs significantly increased Cu accumulation in rice and constrained the rice growth. In conclusion, CuO NPs might be a promising way to decrease As accumulation in rice, but the negative effects such as growth inhibition should be further considered. Therefore, the application of CuO NPs in rice plants should take a more restrained approach.

Abstract
Herein, CuO-NPs were fabricated by harnessing metabolites of Aspergillus niger strain (G3-1) and characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, TEM, SEM-EDX, FT-IR, and XPS. Spherical, crystallographic CuO-NPs were synthesized in sizes ranging from 14.0 to 47.4 nm, as indicated by TEM and XRD. EDX and XPS confirmed the presence of Cu and O with weight percentages of 62.96% and 22.93%, respectively, at varied bending energies. FT-IR spectra identified functional groups of metabolites that could act as reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents to the CuO-NPs. The insecticidal activity of CuO-NPs against wheat grain insects Sitophilus granarius and Rhyzopertha dominica was dose- and time-dependent. The mortality percentages due to NP treatment were 55-94.4% (S. granarius) and 70-90% (R. dominica). A botanical experiment was done in a randomized block design. Low CuO-NP concentration (50 ppm) caused significant increases in growth characteristics (shoot and root length, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root, and leaves number), photosynthetic pigments (total chlorophylls and carotenoids), and antioxidant enzymes of wheat plants. There was no significant change in carbohydrate or protein content. The use of CuO-NPs is a promising tool to control grain insects and enhance wheat growth performance.

Abstract
It is becoming more feasible to use nano-enabled agricultural products such as nanofertilizers and nanopesticides to improve the efficiency of agrochemical delivery to crop plants. Experimental results have shown that nano-agrochemicals have great potential for reducing the environmental impact of traditional agrochemicals while simultaneously significantly increasing crop production. However, emerging data suggest that nano-enabled products are not only capable of increasing yield, but also result in alterations in crop quality. Variation in proteins, sugars, starch content, as well as in metallic essential elements have been reported. Verbi gratia, albumin, globulin, and prolamin have been significantly increased in rice exposed to CeO2 engineered nanoparticles (ENPs), while CeO2, CuO, and ZnO ENPs have increased Ca, Mg, and P in several crops. Conversely, reductions in Mo and Ni have been reported in cucumber and kidney beans exposed to CeO2 and ZnO engineered nanomaterials, respectively. However, reports on specific effects in human health due to the consumption of agricultural products obtained from plants exposed to nano-agrochemicals are still missing.

Abstract
Little information is available on the interaction of CuO nanoparticles (nCuO) with tuberous roots. In this study, Beauregard-14 (B-14, low lignin) and Covington (COV, high lignin) sweetpotato varieties were cultivated until maturity in soil amended with nCuO, bulk copper oxide (bCuO) and CuCl2 at 25-125 mg/kg. The Cu treatments had no significant influence on chlorophyll content. Gas exchange parameters were not affected in B-14. In COV, however, at 125 mg/kg treatments, bCuO reduced the intercellular CO2 (11%), while CuCl2 increased it by 7%, compared with control (p ≤ 0.035). At 25 mg/kg nCuO increased the length of COV roots (20.7 ± 2.0 cm vs. 14.6 ± 0.8 cm, p ≤ 0.05). In periderm of B-14, nCuO, at 125 mg/kg, increased Mg by 232%, while the equivalent concentration of CuCl2 reduced P by 410%, compared with control (p ≤ 0.05). The data suggest the potential application of nCuO as nanofertilizer for sweetpotato storage root production.

Zero-valent silver nanoparticles attenuate Cd and Pb toxicities on Moringa oleifera via immobilization and induction of phytochemicals. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2019; 139:283-292.

Abstract
Potentials of zero-valent extract of cocoa pod mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for heavy metals (cadmium and lead) immobilization, attenuation of induced toxicities and influence on phytochemical contents in Moringa oleifera were investigated. M. oleifera seeds were planted in soil spiked and watered with water (control), 0.2 mg AgNPs, 0.5 mg CdCl2, 0.5 mg PbCl2, 0.2 mg AgNPs + 0.5 mg CdCl2, 0.2 mg AgNPs + 0.5 mg PbCl2, 0.2 mg AgNPs + 0.75 mg CdCl2 and 0.2 mg AgNPs + 0.75 mg PbCl2 per g soil designated as groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H respectively. Significant (p < 0.05) repression in shoot and root lengths, percentage germination, number of leaves, vigour and growth tolerance indices, relative water contents with attendant inhibition of photosynthetic pigments, total carotenoid contents, total flavonoid contents and total phenolic contents were obtained for M. oleifera planted on Cd and Pb spiked soil. There were marked decrease in ferric reducing, hydrogen peroxide scavenging and free radical scavenging activities with resultant significant increase in lipid peroxidation (MDA) levels for M. oleifera grown on Cd and Pb treated soil compared to control with Pb having more deleterious effects. Conversely, AgNPs significantly enhanced both physiological and biochemical parameters in M. oleifera over control and considerably attenuated suppressions of these parameters in M. oleifera induced by Cd and Pb. Results in this study have shown AgNPs as excellent immobilizing agents and outstanding modulators of heavy metal induced toxicities.
