“…Astafurova et al [101] reported enhanced plant protective mechanisms due to increased flavonoids concentration resulting from nanoplatinum application. In another study of platinum nanoparticles uptake using Sinapis alba and Lepidium sativum plants, both plant species showed uptake of considerable amounts in the roots and shoots at different concentrations [102]. In this study, both the metal salts and nanoparticles were bioavailable with no recorded phytotoxicity and the Sinapis alba plant recorded higher nanoparticles translocation with increasing concentration than Lepidium sativum.…”

Nutrient deficiency in food crops is seriously affecting human health, especially those in the rural areas, and nanotechnology may become the most sustainable approach to alleviating this challenge. There are several ways of fortifying the nutrients in food such as dietary diversification, use of drugs and industrial fortification. However, the affordability and sustainability of these methods have not been completely achieved. Plants absorb nutrients from fertilizers, but most conventional fertilizers have low nutrient use and uptake efficiency. Nanofertilizers are, therefore, engineered to be target oriented and not easily lost. This review surveys the effects of the addition of macro- and nanonutrients to soil, the interaction, and the absorption capability of the plants, the environmental effect and food content of the nutrients. Most reports were obtained from recent works, and they show that plants nutrients could be enriched by applying nanoparticulate nutrients, which are easily absorbed by the plant. Although there are some toxicity issues associated with the use of nanoparticles in crop, biologically synthesized nanoparticles may be preferred for agricultural purposes. This would circumvent the concerns associated with toxicity, in addition to being pollution free. This report, therefore, offers more understanding on the application of nanotechnology in biofortification of plant nutrients and the future possibilities offered by this practice. It also highlights some of the ills associated with the introduction of nanomaterials into the soil for crop’s improvement.

“…The ionic form of metallic nanoparticles is commonly cited in the published literature as the likely factor attributed to the toxic effects upon biological species (Navarro et al, 2008, Xiu et al, 2012). Yet, the evidence gathered from the published literature in this study suggests that the stimulatory and inhibitory effects of metallic nanoparticles are influenced by both forms of metals depending upon the physical-chemical characteristics of nanoparticles, environmental conditions, soil media, and plant species (Asztemborska et al, 2014, Dimkpa et al, 2013, Gubbins et al, 2011, Kaveh et al, 2013, Kim et al, 2014b, Mustafa et al, 2015, Pokhrel and Dubey, 2013, Pradhan et al, 2015, Qian et al, 2013, Taylor et al, 2014, Yin et al, 2011, Yin et al, 2012.…”

Recent evidence for the effects of metallic engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) on plants and plant systems was examined together with its implications for other constituents of the Society-Environment-Economy (SEE) system. In this study, we were particularly interested to determine whether or not metallic ENPs have both stimulatory and inhibitory effects upon plant performance. An emphasis was made to analyze the scientific evidence on investigations examining both types of effects in the same studies. Analysis of evidence demonstrated that metallic ENPs have both stimulatory and inhibitory effects mostly in well-controlled environments and soilless media. Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) and Cu ENPs have potential for use as micronutrients for plant systems, keeping in mind the proper formulation at the right dose for each type of ENP. The concentration levels for the stimulatory effects of Cu ENPs are lower than for those for nZVI. Newer findings showed that extremely smaller concentrations of Au ENPs (smaller than those for nZVI and Cu ENPs) induce positive effects for plant growth, which is attributed to effects on secondary metabolites. Ag ENPs have demonstrated their usage as antimicrobial/pesticidal agents for plant protection; however, precautions should be taken to avoid higher concentrations not only for plant systems, but also, other constituents in the SEE. Further research is warranted to investigate the stimulatory and inhibitory effects of metallic ENPs in soil media in order to broaden the horizon of sustainable agriculture production in terms of higher and safer yields so as to meet the food requirements of human population.

“…Feichtmeier et al [14] observed that the Au content in barley roots rose with increasing Au concentration in the nutrient medium up to 8 μg Au mL − 1 , but at the highest exposure concentration of 10 μg Au mL − 1 , slightly lower values occurred. Asztemborska et al [15] showed that the Pt content of L. sativum and S. alba shoots was clearly dependent on the Pt-NPs in the growth medium and for the highest Pt-NPs concentration applied (100 mg L − 1 ), it reached the highest level in the plants. PCA was used to investigate the effects of foliar exposure of oakleaf lettuce seedlings to M-NPs applied at different concentrations on the content of non-enzymatic antioxidants and the activity of antioxidant enzymes (Fig.…”

“…On the other hand, Feichtmeier et al [14] noted that fresh biomass of barley decreased with increasing concentration of Au-NPs. Asztemborska et al [15] found that Lepidium sativum and Sinapis alba were able to take up Pt-NPs from the growth medium and translocate them to shoots. There is not much information about the phytotoxicity of Pt-NPs on plants, but Shiny et al [16] did not observe harmful effects of Pt-NPs on tomato and radish seeds germination.…”

Background: Nanoparticles (NPs) serve various industrial and household purposes, and their increasing use creates an environmental hazard because of their uncontrolled release into ecosystems. An important aspect of the risk assessment of NPs is to understand their interactions with plants. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Au (10 and 20 ppm), Ag, and Pt (20 and 40 ppm) NPs on oakleaf lettuce, with particular emphasis on plant antioxidative mechanisms. Nanoparticles were applied once on the leaves of 2-week-old lettuce seedlings, after next week laboratory analyses were performed. Results: The antioxidant potential of oakleaf lettuce seedlings sprayed with metal NPs at different concentrations was investigated. Chlorophylls, fresh and dry weight were also determined. Foliar exposure of the seedlings to metal NPs did not affect ascorbate peroxidase activity, total peroxidase activity increased after Au-NPs treatment, but decreased after applying Ag-NPs and Pt-NPs. Both concentrations of Au-NPs and Pt-NPs tested caused an increase in glutathione (GSH) content, while no NPs affected L-ascorbic acid content in the plants. Ag-NPs and Pt-NPs applied as 40 ppm solution increased total phenolics content by 17 and 15%, respectively, compared to the control. Carotenoids content increased when Ag-NPs and Au-NPs (20 and 40 ppm) and Pt-NPs (20 ppm) were applied. Plants treated with 40 ppm of Ag-NPs and Pt-NPs showed significantly higher total antioxidant capacity and higher concentration of chlorophyll a (only for Ag-NPs) than control. Pt-NPs applied as 40 ppm increased fresh weight and total dry weight of lettuce shoot. Conclusions: Results showed that the concentrations of NPs applied and various types of metal NPs had varying impact on the antioxidant status of oakleaf lettuce. Alteration of POX activity and in biosynthesis of glutathione, total phenolics, and carotenoids due to metal NPs showed that tested nanoparticles can act as stress stimuli. However, judging by the slight changes in chlorophyll concentrations and in the fresh and dry weight of the plants, and even based on the some increases in these traits after M-NPs treatment, the stress intensity was relatively low, and the plants were able to cope with its negative effects.
