Green nanotechnology: illuminating the effects of bio-based nanoparticles on plant physiology

Abstract

AbstractThe use of bio-based nanoparticles in agriculture has gained significant attention due to their potential to enhance plant development, growth, and differentiation. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of bio-based nanoparticles on plant physiology. In this review paper, the various types of bio-based nanoparticles, including cellulose, chitosan, and lignin nanoparticles, and their effects on plant growth and development were discussed. The mechanisms by which these nanoparticles interact with plants at the cellular and molecular levels were also examined. Furthermore, the potential applications of bio-based nanoparticles in agriculture, such as improving nutrient uptake, enhancing stress tolerance, and promoting sustainable crop production, are also highlighted. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of utilizing bio-based nanoparticles for enhancing plant growth and development while also considering their potential environmental impacts.
