It explores in detail the application of nanoparticles in drug delivery, cancer treatment, catalysis, and as antimicrobial agent, antioxidant and the promoter of plant production and protection. Application of these nanoparticles in plant systems has started only recently and information is still scanty about their possible effects on plant growth and development. Accumulation and translocation of nanoparticles in plants, and the consequent growth response and stress modulation are not well understood. Plants exposed to these particles exhibit both positive and negative effects, depending on the concentration, size, and shape of the nanoparticles. The impact on plant growth and yield is often positive at lower concentrations and negative at higher ones. Exposure to some nanoparticles may improve the free-radical scavenging potential and antioxidant enzymatic activities in plants and alter the micro-RNAs expression that regulate the different morphological, physiological and metabolic processes in plant system, leading to improved plant growth and yields. The nanoparticles also carry out genetic reforms by efficient transfer of DNA or complete plastid genome into the respective plant genome due to their miniscule size and improved site-specific penetration. Moreover, controlled application of nanomaterials in the form of nanofertilizer offers a more synchronized nutrient fluidity with the uptake by the plant exposed, ensuring an increased nutrient availability. This book addresses these issues and many more. It covers fabrication of different/specific nanomaterials and their wide-range application in agriculture sector, encompassing the controlled release of nutrients, nutrient-use efficiency, genetic exchange, production of secondary metabolites, defence mechanisms, and the growth and productivity of plants exposed to different manufactured nanomaterials. The role of nanofertilizers and nano-biosensors for improving plant production and protection and the possible toxicities caused by certain nanomaterials, the aspects that are little explored by now, have also been generously elucidated. 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aPlant biochemistry 606 $aPlant pathology 606 $aPlant anatomy 606 $aPlant development 606 $aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060 606 $aPlant Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020 606 $aPlant Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020 606 $aPlant Biochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021 606 $aPlant Pathology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24035 606 $aPlant Anatomy/Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24019 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aPlant biochemistry. 615 0$aPlant pathology. 615 0$aPlant anatomy. 615 0$aPlant development. 615 14$aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aPlant Genetics and Genomics. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 615 24$aPlant Pathology. 615 24$aPlant Anatomy/Development. 676 $a620.115 702 $aHusen$b Azamal$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aIqbal$b Muhammad$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337942203321 996 $aNanomaterials and Plant Potential$91995440 997 $aUNINA
