“…In the last years, the number of model studies focused on the investigation of interactions between plant and engineered nanoparticles, especially metal-containing ones, has increased [2][3][4]. For example, the bioaccumulation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 NPs) in roots of Lactuca sativa L. followed by their translocation to shoots has been demonstrated [5,6]. A similar behavior has been observed during the study of the uptake and translocation of lead sulfide nanoparticles (PbS NPs), iron (III) oxide nanoparticles (Fe 2 O 3 NPs) and magnetite nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 NPs) in Zea mays L., Triticum aestivum L. and Hordeum vulgare L., respectively [7][8][9].…”

Due to the increasing release of metal-containing nanoparticles into the environment, the investigation of their interactions with plants has become a hot topic for many research fields. However, the obtention of reliable data requires a careful design of experimental model studies. The behavior of nanoparticles has to be comprehensively investigated; their stability in growth media, bioaccumulation and characterization of their physicochemical forms taken-up by plants, identification of the species created following their dissolution/oxidation, and finally, their localization within plant tissues. On the basis of their strong expertise, the authors present guidelines for studies of interactions between metal-containing nanoparticles and plants.

“…Certainly, Al may have been widely used since ancient times because of its antimicrobial effect 91 . However, Al ions are considered phytotoxic, 20 affecting root growth and causing morphological, physiological and biochemical changes in plants 92 . However, Al is also considered a beneficial element at low concentrations since it can promote plant growth and uptake of essential elements 93 .…”

“…However, Al is also considered a beneficial element at low concentrations since it can promote plant growth and uptake of essential elements 93 . A recent study confirmed that plants uptake Al 2 O 3 NPs as NPs, not as ions, and that only a small fraction of the total Al 2 O 3 NPs was translocated and distributed in the shoot, suggesting that the NPs have a lower translocation potential than Al 3+ , reducing the phytotoxicity attributed to possible ions released from the Al 2 O 3 NPs 92 . The synthesis of aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 NPs) has become a promising tool in the agricultural sector that may be used in the formulation of antimicrobial agents for phytopathogen control.…”

Plant‐mediated synthesis of nanoparticles and their antimicrobial activity against phytopathogens

Nanotechnology is an emerging science with a wide array of applications involving the synthesis and manipulation of materials with dimensions in the range of 1–100 nm. Nanotechnological applications include diverse fields such as pharmaceuticals, medicine, the environment, food processing and agriculture. Regarding the latter, applications are mainly focused on plant growth and crop protection against plagues and diseases. In recent years, the biogenic reduction of elements such as Ag, Au, Cu, Cd, Al, Se, Zn, Ce, Ti and Fe with plant extracts has become one of the most accepted techniques for obtaining nanoparticles (NPs), as it is considered an ecological and cost‐effective process without the use of chemical contaminants. The objective of this work was to review NPs synthesized by green chemistry using vegetable extracts, as well as their use as antimicrobial agents against phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. Given the need for alternatives to control and integrate management of phytopathogens, this review is relevant to agriculture, although this technology is barely exploited in this field. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Iron NPs (Fe‐NPs) exhibited efficiency on remediation of contaminated soils and ground water, and as an alternative to confer plant resistance (Cai et al, 2020; Sun et al, 2020). Another commonly used metal oxide NP is aluminium oxide NPs (Al 2 O 3 ‐NPs) because of its durability, porosity and wide range of commercial and industrial applications (Hayes et al, 2020). Other NPs such as magnesium (Mg‐NPs) and titanium (Ti‐NPs) are less common, but their impact on the environment has also been investigated (Cai et al, 2018; Mylona, Panteris, Kevrekidis, & Malea, 2020).…”

Because of the revolution in plant science studies, driven by nanotechnology, with the development of the concept as precision farming, which utilises, among others, nanoparticles (NP) as sensors, nano‐encapsulated fertilisers, among others, the accurate understanding of how NPs affect a plant culture becomes of paramount importance. In this way, this review addresses not only fundamental and important aspects regarding NP production and characterisation, emphasising up‐to‐date developments for these tasks, but also discusses the most recent results in terms of NP internalisation into a plant, to enlarge the comprehension of the interaction between NPs and plants. Because there is a broad horizon opened regarding nanotechnology applied to plant science, this review also presents some possible trends, indicating that there is still plenty of room for future developments. It is also an open field for more work on the effects of NPs on stress responses in plants.
