Insights into the effect of manganese-based nanomaterials on the distribution trait and nutrition of radish (Raphanus sativus L.).

Manganese (Mn) is one of the essential elements for plant growth and is involved in the process of photosynthesis and seed germination. Herein, we applied two Mn-based nanoparticles, MnO and MnO, to the soil to investigate their effects on radish growth, antioxidant system, and nutrients. The radish plant height after treatment with 10 mg/kg of MnO and MnO NPs were increased, compare to the control.

Nanoenabled Enhancement of Plant Tolerance to Heat and Drought Stress on Molecular Response.

Global warming has posed significant pressure on agricultural productivity. The resulting abiotic stresses from high temperatures and drought have become serious threats to plants and subsequent global food security. Applying nanomaterials in agriculture can balance the plant's oxidant level and can also regulate phytohormone levels and thus maintain normal plant growth under heat and drought stresses.

Engineered Zn-based nano-pesticides as an opportunity for treatment of phytopathogens in agriculture.

People's desire for food has never slowed, despite the deterioration of the global agricultural environment and the threat to food security. People rely on agrochemicals to ensure normal crop growth and to relieve the existing demand pressure. Phytopathogens have acquired resistance to traditional pesticides as a result of pesticdes' abuse.
