English

Encapsulated Nanomaterial and Plant Interfaces critically examines the role of encapsulated nanoparticles in plants, and the resulting mechanism adopted by the plants at the biochemical and molecular levels to enhance plant growth and mitigate various stresses. Beginning with an overview of these engineered nanomaterials, and guiding the reader through their core concepts, the book aids the reader in identifying the most appropriate option based on use-case and need. The use of nanoparticles to improve plant health and crop yield has seen significant progress, but there remain challenges including size fixation of nanoparticles, toxicity, dose selection, formulation development, cast and production ration and the synthesis methods. The synthesis procedure significantly impacts the effectiveness of nanoparticles on the plant system, and nano- encapsulation is one of the most promising and effective techniques, not only controlling the release of nanoparticle but also able to enhance the surface area, reducing the toxic effect of NPs if any, and increasing the effective impact of NPs on plants. This volume in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interaction series explores the impact of encapsulated nanoparticles at the morphological, physiological and molecular levels on environmental stress. It discusses the latest tools, including -omics approaches, to evaluate the mechanism of action of encapsulated nanoparticles in regulating growth.
