“…Pertinently, Candan et al (2022) reported the application of infrared spectral analysis, aided by machine learning techniques to unveil that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are taken up by C. arietinum seedlings' root, leading to consequent build-up of the nanomaterials in stem and leaf parts. Priming Cicer arientinum seeds with ZnO NPs (synthesized using Trichoderma harzianum) was projected as a means to aid chick pea plants to pile up greater amounts of sugars, phenol, total proteins, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) to resist wilt pathogen-Fusarium oxysporum(Farhana et al, 2022). Similar protective action of treatment with AgNPs (biosynthesized by rhizopheric microflora of chick pea) against wilt disease was previously reported by Kaur et al(…”

Silver-based nanomaterials have etched an indelible mark in multiple domains. The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles has received significant attention over the last few years vis-à-vis the conventional use of toxic chemicals and reagents in the preparatory stages. In this milieu, the work reported here highlights the use of an aqueous extract of teff (Eragrostis tef) flour to prepare silver nanoparticles (TSNPs). The compositional abundance of various phytochemicals, sunlight-induced bio-reduction of silver ions, and subsequent stabilization of the nanostructures by teff’s biomolecules were adroitly exploited. UV-visible spectroscopic analysis was employed to track the evolution of the TSNPs over time and their month-long storage stability. Exhibiting λmax at around 426 nm and energy gap (as revealed by Tauc’s plot) of 2.26 eV, the silver nanomaterial was employed for methylene blue dye degradation (50% degradation in less than 20 min) and DPPH scavenging (IC50 = 243.42 μL containing 410 μg of TSNPs), attesting their catalytic and anti-oxidant potency. On the other hand, anticoagulant action and a concentration-dependent variation were noted for radicle length post germination of Cicer arientinum seeds, treated with the TSNPs. The TSNPs could have profound implications in multiple domains.

“…Besides the hydrogel treatment results, similar results were also observed with ZnO NPs application or controlling Fusarium wilt disease in eggplant ( Abdelaziz et al, 2022 ). Moreover, Farhana et al (2022) research speculates that ZnO NPs also modulates the antioxidant machinery in chickpea for alleviating Fusarium wilt disease. It has been observed that seed priming significantly reduced the disease incidence by 90% and increased the quantities of sugars, phenol, flavonoids, total proteins and antioxidants (SOD, POD and CAT).…”

Crop growth and yield are negatively impacted by increased biotic stress in the agricultural sector due to increasing global warming and changing climatic patterns. The host plant’s machinery is exploited by biotic stress, which is caused by organisms like bacteria, fungi, viruses, insects, nematodes, and mites. This results in nutrient deprivation, increased reactive oxygen species and disturbances in physiological, morphological, and molecular processes. Although used widely, conventional disease management strategies like breeding, intercropping, and chemical fertilizers have drawbacks in terms of time commitment and environmental impact. An environmentally beneficial substitute is offered by the developing field of nanotechnology, where nanoparticles such as zinc oxide are gaining popularity due to their potential applications as antimicrobials and nano-fertilizers. This review delves into the biological synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles employing plants and microbes, function of ZnO nanoparticles in biotic stress mitigation, elucidating their effectiveness and toxicological implications in agricultural. This study supports a cautious approach, stressing the prudent application of ZnO nanoparticles to avoid possible toxicity, in line with the larger global agenda to end hunger, guarantee food security, and advance sustainable agriculture.

“…This was successfully achieved when facing a variety of biotic stresses that affect the yield of the most valuable pulse crops worldwide, i.e., the destructive fungus Fusarium oxysporum, which causes the main seedborne and soil fungus diseases in legume-growing areas [112]. In this regard, ZnO NPs were used in association with Trichoderma harzianum, a fungus widely employed as a biopesticide and biofertilizer, for nano-priming chickpea seeds (Cicer arietinum L.) [92]. Several concentrations of ZnO NPs were initially probed on the in vitro inhibition of the mycelial growth of the fungus.…”

Drastic climate changes over the years have triggered environmental challenges for wild plants and crops due to fluctuating weather patterns worldwide. This has caused different types of stressors, responsible for a decrease in plant life and biological productivity, with consequent food shortages, especially in areas under threat of desertification. Nanotechnology-based approaches have great potential in mitigating environmental stressors, thus fostering a sustainable agriculture. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have demonstrated to be biostimulants as well as remedies to both environmental and biotic stresses. Their administration in the early sowing stages, i.e., seed priming, proved to be effective in improving germination rate, seedling and plant growth and in ameliorating the indicators of plants’ well-being. Seed nano-priming acts through several mechanisms such as enhanced nutrients uptake, improved antioxidant properties, ROS accumulation and lipid peroxidation. The target for seed priming by ZnO NPs is mostly crops of large consumption or staple food, in order to meet the increased needs of a growing population and the net drop of global crop frequency, due to climate changes and soil contaminations. The current review focuses on the most recent low-cost, low-sized ZnO NPs employed for seed nano-priming, to alleviate abiotic and biotic stresses, mitigate the negative effects of improper storage and biostimulate plants’ growth and well-being. Taking into account that there is large variability among ZnO NPs and that their chemico-physical properties may play a role in determining the efficacy of nano-priming, for all examined cases, it is reported whether the ZnO NPs are commercial or lab prepared. In the latter cases, the preparation conditions are described, along with structural and morphological characterizations. Under these premises, future perspectives and challenges are discussed in relation to structural properties and the possibility of ZnO NPs engineering.
