Abstract:

Interactions of plants with nanoparticles ( NPs) include uptake, translocation and accumulation of NPs, depending on the nature of plant species as well as the shape, size, type, chemical composition, functionalization and stability of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). Most of the studies deal with negative effect on growth and development of seedlings. So far, germination, biomass assay, antimicrobial, anatomical as well as few histological studies has been done by using varieties of ENPs. This interaction is very important as the NPs which are stored within the plants; get transferred from plants (producers) to animals (consumers).

Research shows that not only the negative aspect, but NPs can have great impact on positive aspects on different fields, of which we highlight mainly on the agricultural sector.
