“…They can alter physio-chemical properties more favorably than bulk materials because of their higher surface area, which increases their solubility and surface reactivity. (Nasrallah et al, 2022;Attia and Elsheery, 2020) Nanoparticles produce a specific kind of material that is smaller than 100 nm. Plant growth and development are ultimately impacted by the interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) and plant cells, which lead to modifications in biological pathways and gene expression pat-terns, NPs impacted the growth of V. faba under salinity stress (Omar et al, 2023;Zayed et al, 2017) Due to the unique qualities of nonmaterial's (NMs), nanotechnology presents a viable substitute for traditional products in the field of plant protection.…”

Heavy metal pollution is the one of the most important factors that limit the growth and yield of faba bean plants in the world. In recent years, nanotechnology has showen promising result in reducing the harmful effects of heavy metal stress on various crops such as peas (Pisum sativum), faba beans (Vicia faba leguminosae). This experiment aimed to study the effect of foliar spray of zinc nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) at two concentrations (100 and 200 ppm) on the growth parameters shoot length, root length, fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots, and leaf area of faba bean plants. In addition, the content of chlorophyll and carotenoids were measured under Cd stress (20 and 100 ppm). The samples were collected twice, 15 and 30 days after treatments. The results showed that Cd had adverse effects on shoot and root lengths, shoot fresh and dry weights, root fresh and dry weights, and leaf area. The treatment with ZnO NPs significantly reduced the side effects of Cd on the level of growth parameters at two stages. ZnO NPs 200 was more effective than ZnO NPs 100. From our results, ZnO NPs can be used to mitigate the Cd stress in agricultural soils.

“…They have also utilized various minerals, including silver (Ag), gold (Au), and metal oxides such as zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ), and others [15]. Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts is considered a promising and efficient method because plants contain organic compounds such as flavonoids, amino acids, carboxylic quinones, phenolics, and proteins [16]. These substances play an important role in the release of mineral salts and the rapid, easy, and environmentally safe production of nanoparticles.…”

Tomato affected by several pathogenic factors, including root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). This research was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of three amino acid Arginine, Serine, and Leucine, in their normal and Nano forms, at three different concentrations (10, 20, 30 ppm). The evaluation was performed under laboratory conditions to assess their effectiveness in inhibiting egg hatching and the viability Second stage Juveniles (J2) of the targeted nematode species. The laboratory results demonstrated the efficiency of all treatments in reducing the percentage of unhatched eggs, particularly at higher concentrations. The Nano-form of the three amino acids at a concentration of 30 ppm exhibited the highest efficacy compared to the normal form and showed significant superiority over the control treatment. After 72 hours, the percentage of unhatched eggs for Arginine, Serine, and Leucine Nano-amino acids was (21.00, 31.33, and 30.67), respectively, with a kill rate of (79%, 68.88%, and 69.33%) compared to the control treatment, which recorded 75% unhatched eggs and a kill rate of 25%. The impact of these treatments on the viability Second stage juveniles(J2) also varied significantly with different concentrations, showing a dose-dependent effect over time and significant differences compared to the control group. The highest concentration of 3000 ppm was the most effective, resulting in the highest kill rate for Arginine, Serine, and Leucine Nano-amino acids, which reached (95.27%, 90.27%, 88.89%), respectively, compared to the control treatment, which had a kill rate of 48.60%.

“…Graphene Family Nanomaterials (GFNs) are one of the most widely used two‐dimensional (2D) carbon nanomaterials with useful applications in diverse fields such as agriculture and medicine (Chandel et al, 2022; Singh, 2016; Wang et al, 2019; Yilihamu et al, 2020). In the area of agriculture in particular, the use of GFNs has assisted in the development of strategies to improve nutrient uptake and germination, detect and treat plant diseases, and remediate contaminated water and soil, among others (Attia & Elsheery, 2020; Chen et al, 2013; Lopes et al, 2021). One of the unexplored areas with respect to the application of graphene‐based nanomaterials in agriculture is their potential use to enhance beneficial plant‐microbe interactions such as Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation (SNF).…”

Legume crops such as soybean obtain a large portion of their nitrogen nutrition through symbiotic nitrogen fixation by diazotrophic rhizobia bacteria in root nodules. However, nodule occupancy by low‐capacity nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia can lead to lower‐than‐optimal levels of nitrogen fixation. Seed/root coating with engineered materials such as graphene‐carrying biomolecules that may promote specific attraction/attachment of desirable bacterial strains is a potential strategy that can help overcome this rhizobia competition problem. As a first step towards this goal, we assessed the impact of graphene on soybean and Bradyrhizobium using a set of growth, biochemical, and physiological assays. Three different concentrations of graphene were tested for toxicity in soybean (50, 250, and 1,000 mg/l) and Bradyrhizobia (25, 50, and 100 mg/l). Higher graphene concentrations (250 mg/l and 1,000 mg/l) promoted seed germination but slightly delayed plant development. Spectrometric and microscopy assays for hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion suggested that specific concentrations of graphene led to higher levels of reactive oxygen species in the roots. In agreement, these roots also showed higher activities of antioxidant enzymes, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase. Conversely, no toxic effects were detected on Bradyrhizobia treated with graphene, and neither did they have higher levels of reactive oxygen species. Graphene treatments at 250 mg/l and 1,000 mg/l significantly reduced the number of nodules, but rhizobia infection and the overall nitrogenase activity were not affected. Our results show that graphene can be used as a potential vehicle for seed/root treatment.
