“…Sol-gel approach entails hydrolysis and condensation of specific precursor substances, such as tetra-ethyl ortho-silicate or sodium silicate (Na2SiO3), in the hydrogen chloride or ammonia presence as a catalyst (Horváth and Sinkó, 2022). Furthermore, by amending the Stober method, various kinds of SiNPs can be obtained (Sarkar et al, 2022).…”

While Si is not essential for the survival of plants, therefore, been suggested as a semi-essential element that protects against various types of stresses (Sarkar et al, 2022). Furthermore, the lack of Si has been observed to disrupt the equilibrium of other nutrients in the plant body (Hosseini-Nasr et al, 2023;Teixeira et al, 2020).…”

“…SiNPs consist of an array of Si-O-Si bonds, typically with sizes smaller than 100 nm. The surface of SiNPs features a hydroxyl group (Si-OH), commonly referred as silanol group (Sarkar et al, 2022). SiNPs have garnered significant attention due to their cost-effective large-scale production, adjustable particle size, hydrophilic properties, and enhanced biocompatibility (Park et al, 2019;Yadav et al, 2022).…”

Cereal crops are essential for providing essential nutrients and energy in the daily human diet. Additionally, they have a crucial role as a significant constituent of cattle feed, hence enhancing meat production. Drought, being an abiotic stressor, adversely affects the growth and yield of numerous crops on a global scale. This issue poses a significant and pressing obstacle to maintaining global cereal crop production and ensuring food security. Nanoparticles have become a valuable resource for improving cereal crop yield and productivity under ongoing rapid climate change and escalating drought conditions. Among these, silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have demonstrated their potential for agricultural applications in regions with limited water availability. Drought stress has detrimental effects on cereal crops, impacting their growth, metabolic, and physiological processes, hampering water and nutrient absorption, disrupting cellular membranes, damaging the photosynthetic apparatus, and reducing antioxidant activities by altering gene expression. SiNPs help preserve cellular membranes, regulate water balance, and improve water and nutrient absorption, resulting in a substantial enhancement in plant growth under water-deficit conditions. SiNPs also protect the photosynthetic system and enhance its efficiency, facilitate the accumulation of phenolics, hormones, osmolytes, antioxidant activities, and gene expression, thus empowering plants with increased resistance to drought stress. Moreover, SiNPs decrease leaf water loss by promoting stomatal closure, primarily by fostering the accumulation of abscisic acid (ABA) and mitigating oxidative stress damage by activating the antioxidant defence system and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, a limited number of studies examine the role of SiNPs in cereal crops under drought stress conditions. In this review, we highlighted the promising potential of SiNPs to improve cereal crop resilience by changing morpho-histological traits, antioxidant properties, and gene expression to maintain food security in drought-prone areas. This study will aid researchers in using SiNPs as an environmentally benign way to improving drought resistance in cereal crops in order to fulfill global food supply needs.

“…In agriculture, elicitors are more frequently referred to as biostimulants, a product (single substance) or a blend of different products, combining organic (Kaur et al 2021) and/or inorganic (Sarkar et al 2022), natural (Shukla et al 2021) and/or synthetic (Sakata et al 2021) substances, capable of directly (Kaur et al 2021) or indirectly (Markovic et al 2019) stimulate plants primary and specialized metabolisms in a positive (Brambilla et al 2022) or negative way (Wu et al 2022), without considering the amount of nutrients supplied by these products, or the action they may have as direct pesticides.…”

Plant elicitation provides multi-bene ts to plant development and defense, besides helping to make agriculture more sustainable. However, the use of wrong experimental designs and technics directly affects the results obtained. This favors the generation of biased and unreliable data. Therefore, an investigation was conducted to assess the eliciting potential of a red seaweed biostimulant (RSB) alone or in combination with fungicide in total controlled conditions on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants. Catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), salicylic acid (SA) content, powdery mildew incidence, photosynthetic rates, and the water use e ciency were assessed in different periods after the application of the elicitor. The use of the RSB prevented the incidence of powdery mildew in wheat plants. The fungicide alone or in combination with the RSB resulted in negative photosynthetic rates and downregulated the activity of some enzymes. A greater PAL activity did not warrant a greater accumulation of SA in plants. Overall, the use of fungicide negatively affected wheat's primary and specialized metabolisms when compared to the application of the RSB alone.

“…Mesoporous silica is a type of carrier material that is commonly used for preparing controlled-release pesticide formulations. − It is characterized by porous channels, large pore volumes, good thermal stability, and photochemical stability . In addition, silicon absorption enhances a plant’s resistance to pathogens and abiotic stresses, with silica nanoparticles also shown to promote wheat growth, protein content, and photosynthesis while protecting the plants from UV stress. − …”

Controlled-release pesticide formulation exhibiting low phytotoxicity and long-term effectiveness is highly promising. In this work, a novel pH stimuli-responsive pesticide delivery system was established by combining spray drying with ion crosslinking to coat chitosan onto tebuconazole-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Teb@MSNs@CS). The results demonstrated that the loading capacity of Teb@MSNs@CS for tebuconazole (Teb) was approximately 25.80%. The chitosan attached on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles could extend the release time of Teb both in the solution medium and soil column. Meanwhile, the coated chitosan endowed the pH-responsive release of Teb. The bioactivity survey confirmed that Teb@MSNs@CS exhibited enhanced control of Fusarium graminearum compared to pure Teb. Moreover, Teb@MSNs@CS displayed lower phytotoxicity than both Teb@MSNs and pure Teb during wheat germination and seeding growth experiments. As revealed by the above-mentioned results, the use of responsive carriers as the pesticide-delivery systems can be potentially implemented in wheat growth.
