“…DLS provides a hydrodynamic size and is more quantitative, while AFM and TEM offer both qualitative and quantitative information such as particle shape, surface morphology, and size of the NPs. Similarly, structural changes in the formation of ChNPs were reportedly observed employing TEM, AFM, SEM, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) [72,73,74,75,76].…”

The development of advanced nanomaterials and technologies is essential in biomedical engineering to improve the quality of life. Chitosan-based nanomaterials are on the forefront and attract wide interest due to their versatile physicochemical characteristics such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, which play a promising role in biological applications. Chitosan and its derivatives are employed in several applications including pharmaceuticals and biomedical engineering. This article presents a comprehensive overview of recent advances in chitosan derivatives and nanoparticle synthesis, as well as emerging applications in medicine, tissue engineering, drug delivery, gene therapy, and cancer therapy. In addition to the applications, we critically review the main concerns and mitigation strategies related to chitosan bactericidal properties, toxicity/safety using tissue cultures and animal models, and also their potential environmental impact. At the end of this review, we also provide some of future directions and conclusions that are important for expanding the field of biomedical applications of the chitosan nanoparticles.

“…The iron NPs enhanced germination ratio and plant growth [88]; while copper NPs inhibited the growth of wheat [89]. The flowering and yield of rice reduced on carbon nanotubes exposure [73]; while enhanced under cerium-oxide NPs treatment [90]. Silver NPs [84] and cerium-oxide NPs [91] improved the growth of maize; while aluminum-oxide NPs [70], titanium-oxide NPs [1], and copper NPs [80] treatments led to growth reduction.…”

Plant cells are frequently challenged with a wide range of adverse environmental conditions that restrict plant growth and limit the productivity of agricultural crops. Rapid development of nanotechnology and unsystematic discharge of metal containing nanoparticles (NPs) into the environment pose a serious threat to the ecological receptors including plants. Engineered nanoparticles are synthesized by physical, chemical, biological, or hybrid methods. In addition, volcanic eruption, mechanical grinding of earthquake-generating faults in Earth’s crust, ocean spray, and ultrafine cosmic dust are the natural source of NPs in the atmosphere. Untying the nature of plant interactions with NPs is fundamental for assessing their uptake and distribution, as well as evaluating phytotoxicity. Modern mass spectrometry-based proteomic techniques allow precise identification of low abundant proteins, protein–protein interactions, and in-depth analyses of cellular signaling networks. The present review highlights current understanding of plant responses to NPs exploiting high-throughput proteomics techniques. Synthesis of NPs, their morphophysiological effects on crops, and applications of proteomic techniques, are discussed in details to comprehend the underlying mechanism of NPs stress acclimation.

“…Recently, in plants, a large spectrum of antimicrobial and regulatory activities were obtained by the use of CHT-based molecules. For example, CHT nanoparticles (CHTNP), having the properties of CHT and the characteristics of nanoparticles such as surface and interface effect, small size and quantum size effects, were able to act as germination elicitor of Oryza sativa L. [15] and to positively affect seed germination and seedling growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [16]. In addition, these nanoparticles were able to induce the expression of pathogenesis-related proteins thus enhancing resistance against F. andiyazi in tomato [17] and to inhibit F. oxysporum growth in Zingiber officinale [18].…”

In recent years, the use of complex molecules based on the natural biopolymer chitin and/or on its deacetylated derivative chitosan has resulted in great advantages for many users. In particular, industries involved in the production of drugs, cosmetics, biotechnological items, and food have achieved better results using these particular molecules. In plants, chitin- and chitosan-based molecules are largely used as safe and environmental-friendly tools to ameliorate crop productivity and conservation of agronomic commodities. This review summarizes the results of the last two years on the application of chitin- and chitosan-based molecules on plant productivity. The open questions and future perspectives to overcome the present gaps and limitations are also discussed.
