Abstract
Drought stress is one of the most unfavorable factors affecting plant growth and productivity among various environmental stresses. Nanotechnology is expected to enhance the effectiveness of conventional biostimulants. Herein, the current study constructed an efficient proline (Pro) nanodelivery system based on a star polyamine (SPc). The hydroxyl groups of Pro could assemble with carbonyl groups of SPc, and the self-assembly of Pro with SPc formed the nanoscale particles of the Pro/SPc complex. Compared to Pro alone, the contact angle of SPc-loaded Pro decreased, and its retentivity and plant uptake increased. Importantly, the tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) seeds and seedlings treated with Pro/SPc complex exhibited stronger drought tolerance. RNA-Seq analysis indicated that the SPc-loaded Pro could further upregulate photosynthesis-related genes and endocytosis-related genes. The current study constructed an efficient nanodelivery system for improving the bioactivity of biostimulants, which has broad application prospects in the agricultural field.
