Biotic and abiotic stress factors are pivotal considerations in agriculture due to their potential to cause crop losses, food insecurity, and economic repercussions. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO nanoparticles) have gained substantial attention from researchers worldwide for their capacity to alleviate the detrimental impacts of both biotic and abiotic stress on plants, concurrently reducing dependence on environmentally harmful chemicals. This article provides an overview of methods for synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles, encompassing physical vapor deposition, ball milling, hydrothermal methods, solvothermal methods, precipitation methods, microwave methods, microbial synthesis, and plant-mediated synthesis. Additionally, it delves into the absorption, translocation, and biotransformation pathways of ZnO nanoparticles within plants. The emphasis lies in elucidating the potential of ZnO nanoparticles to safeguard plants against biotic and abiotic stress, enhance plant performance, and modulate various plant processes. The article also offers a preliminary exploration of the mechanisms underlying plant stress tolerance mediated by ZnO nanoparticles. In conclusion, ZnO nanoparticles present an environmentally friendly and cost-effective strategy for plant stress management, paving the way for the integration of nanotechnology in sustainable agriculture. This opens new possibilities for leveraging nanotechnology to bolster plant resilience against stress in the ever-changing climate conditions, ensuring global food security.

“…Microelement deficiency is an important health problem, and more than 25% of the world's population is adversely affected (Ramzan et al 2023;White and Broadley 2009). Among these microelements, zinc (Zn) deficiency stands out, with a staggering 17.3% of the global population facing the risk of insufficient Zn intake.…”

Zinc deficiency in humans is of worldwide concern. The aim of this study is to enrich grains with Zn through soil application at different doses and foliar application from various sources. For this purpose, two independent field experiments have been conducted. In Experiment I, Zn (ZnSO4.7H2O) was applied through soil as basal and top dressing. The treatments were Zn0: control, Zn1: 5 kg Zn ha−1 as basal, Zn2: 2.5 kg Zn ha−1 as basal and 2.5 kg Zn ha−1 as top dressing and Zn3: 5 kg Zn ha−1 as top dressing. In Experiment II, Zn was applied as foliar from different sources (ZnSO4.7H2O, Zn-Methionine, Zn-Polyol and Zn-EDTA) at different growth stages with or without urea. In both experiments, Zn concentration in the grain and leaves of wheat and grain yield increased while phytic acid and PA/Zn molar ratio decreased due to soil or foliar Zn application. It was determined that the application of ZnSO4.7H2O in the soil at the top dressing period in Experiment I and the application of ZnSO4.7H2O and Zn-Methionine forms together with urea in Experiment II were effective methods in increasing grain yield and grain Zn concentration. The application of ZnSO4.7H2O from both soil and foliar sources, especially in combination with urea, has proven to be highly effective in the Zn biofortification of wheat grains. It is possible to assert that the use of ZnSO4.7H2O, which is cost-effective compared to other sources, could contribute significantly to enhancing zinc nutrition in humans.
