“…GSH and/or GSSG quantification could be regarded as an alternative method to evaluate whether or not the biosynthesis of GSH plays an important role in the detoxification process under NPs exposure. Likewise, enhancing the GSSG level in plants was induced by other NPs exposure (Dimkpa et al 2012(Dimkpa et al , 2013, whereas there is no direct connection between the enhanced level of GSSG production and the decrease in GSH, which converts H 2 O 2 into H 2 O (Faisal et al 2013;Shaw & Hossain 2013).…”

With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the potential releases of nanoparticles (NPs) have drawn considerable attention. Plants are essential fundamental components of all ecosystems, and the interaction between NPs and plants is an indispensable aspect of the risk assessment. Originally, this review focuses on NP phytotoxicity, which is an important precondition to promote the application of nanotechnology and to avoid the potential ecological risks. Both enhancive and inhibitive effects of various NPs on different plants' growth have been documented. In this paper, the influence factors of nanotoxicity and the mechanisms of these toxic effects are also summarized. Subsequently, the defense mechanisms are presented as well. Eventually, this review puts forward the prospects of research direction of the environmental behavior and the biological toxicity of NPs, hoping to bring new ideas to the further research on NP phytotoxicity.

“…Leveraging advanced spectroscopic and microscopic capabilities such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), scanning/ transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (S/TEM-EDS), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and other similar instrumentations, novel evidences are increasingly being presented of alternative uptake into plant tissues of Fe, Cu, Mn, Ni, Mo, and Zn in the form of oxides or composite particles (Aubert et al 2012;Dimkpa et al 2012bDimkpa et al , 2013aWang et al 2012a, b;Faisal et al 2013;Ghafariyan et al 2013;Pradhan et al 2013;Bandyopadhyay et al 2015). This is in contrast to the conventional uptake of micronutrients as ions, hitherto the consensus knowledge.…”

Micronutrients are essential mineral elements required for both plant and human development. However, micronutrients are often lacking in soils, crop, and food. Micronutrients are therefore used as fertilizer to increase crop productivity, especially when the application of conventional NPK fertilizers is not efficient. Here, we review the application of micronutrients in crop production. Reports show that micronutrients enhance crop nutritional quality, crop yield, biomass production, and resiliency to drought, pest, and diseases. These positive effects range from 10 to 70 %, dependent on the micronutrient, and occur with or without NPK fertilization. We discuss the uptake by plants of micronutrients as nanosize particulate materials, relative to conventional uptake of ionic nutrients. We also show that packaging of micronutrients as nanoparticles could have more profound effects on crop responses and fertilizer use efficiency, compared to conventional salts or bulk oxides.

“…It has also been found that nanoparticles of nickel oxide can induce oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and necrosis and apoptosis in tomato root cells [21]. Exposure of Arabidopsis thaliana to gold nanoparticles resulted in increased germination rates, greater plant development, and higher antioxidant activity [22].…”

Abstract. Nowadays, there are several commercially available products containing nanostructured materials. Meanwhile, despite the many benefits that can be obtained from nanotechnology, it is still necessary to understand the mechanisms in which nanomaterials interact with the environment, and to obtain information concerning their possible toxic effects. In agriculture, nanotechnology has been used in different applications, such as nanosensors to detect pathogens, nanoparticles as controlled release systems for pesticides, and biofilms to deliver nutrients to plants and to protect food products against degradation. Moreover, plants can be used as models to study the toxicity of nanoparticles. Indeed, phytotoxicity assays are required to identify possible negative effects of nanostructured systems, prior to their implementation in agriculture. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in plant growth and defense, and recently, several papers described the beneficial effects due to application of exogenous NO donors in plants. The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is an important anti-oxidant molecule and is the precursor of the NO donor, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). In this context, the present work investigates the effects of different concentrations of alginate/chitosan nanoparticles, containing either GSH or GSNO, on the development of two test species (Zea mays and Glycine sp.). The results showed that the alginate/chitosan nanoparticles present a size average range from 300 to 550 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.35, and encapsulation efficiency of GSH between 45 -56%. The NO release kinetics from the alginate/chitosan nanoparticles containing GSNO showed sustained and controlled NO release over several hours. Plant assays showed that at the concentrations tested (1, 5 and 10 mM of GSH or GSNO), polymeric nanoparticles showed no significant inhibitory effects on the development of the species Zea mays and Glycine sp., considering the variables shoot height, root length, and dry mass. Therefore, these nanoparticles seem to have promissing uses in agriculture, and might be potencially used as controlled release systems applied by the foliar route. , and a wide range of polymeric nanoparticles used as carrier systems for active agents [5,6]. Many products containing nanostructured materials are now commercially available, including paints, cosmetics, and electronic goods. Meanwhile, despite the many benefits that can be obtained from this technology, it is still necessary to understand the mechanisms in which nanomaterials interact with the environment, and to obtain information concerning their possible toxic effects.In agriculture, nanotechnology has been used in various ways, with the aim of improving yields and the quality of products [7]. Applications include the use of nanosensors to detect pathogens, nanoparticles as controlled release systems for pesticides, and biofilms to deliver nutrients to plants and protect food products against degradation [1]. The use of nanoparticles as carrier systems for agrochemica...
