Impact of Nanomaterials in Plant Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

Nano-sized materials have been developed to exhibit novel characteristics, such as high surface area, morphology, tunable pore size, and high reactivity, compared with the characteristics of bulky materials. Nanomaterials exhibit various properties, including properties as herbicides, pesticides, antibacterials, and fertilizers, that target specific sites in plants and microbial systems.

Nanomaterials alleviate abiotic stress-induced damage through activating plant defense systems. Small-sized nanomaterials facilitate the easy penetration of water and regulate water channels that assist in seed germination and the growth of plants. Moreover, their improved surface area facilitates adsorption and the targeted delivery of substances. Future research addressing the scalability, economics, and safety of these systems is likely to overcome many of the current limitations and create opportunities to revolutionize drinking water treatment.
