Nanoparticles have progressively become potent plant science tools that provide unprecedented prospects to improve stress tolerance, enhance nutrient supply, and mitigate pathogen infections. The interactions with the plant system are dose-dependent and complex, and requires more knowledge on their functionalization, physiological impacts, and potential toxicity. This review provides an omics-based overview of the mechanism by which nanoparticles impact plant molecular response with a special emphasis on transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and ionomic modulations involved in stress adaptation and toxicity. Functionalization development in nanoparticles has enabled specificity on target and controlled release mechanisms, improving bioavailability with reduction in advertent environmental impact. Although properly functionalized nanoparticles can trigger stress tolerance through the modulation of antioxidant defense, hormone signaling, and secondary metabolism, excessive exposure will generate oxidative stress, metabolic disturbance, and phytotoxicity. We also discuss the environmental fate of nanoparticles, adsorption in plant tissues, and effect on soil microbiota. finally, we discuss the necessity of standard protocols, field trials, and regulations to ensure the sustainable use of nanoparticles in agriculture. By combining nanotechnology with omics-driven understanding, the current review presents a thorough comprehension of nanoparticle-mediated plant responses that will open the gateway for novel and eco-friendly application in precision agriculture

纳米颗粒已逐渐成为强有力的植物科学工具，在提高抗逆性、增强营养供应和减轻病原体感染方面提供了前所未有的前景。与植物系统的相互作用是剂量依赖和复杂的，需要更多的知识，他们的功能，生理影响和潜在的毒性。本文综述了纳米颗粒影响植物分子反应的机制，特别强调了胁迫适应和毒性的转录组学、蛋白质组学、代谢组学和离子组学调节。纳米颗粒的功能化发展使靶向特异性和控制释放机制成为可能，提高了生物利用度，减少了潜在的环境影响。虽然适当功能化的纳米颗粒可以通过调节抗氧化防御、激素信号和次生代谢来触发胁迫耐受性，但过度暴露会产生氧化应激、代谢紊乱和植物毒性。我们还讨论了纳米颗粒的环境命运，在植物组织中的吸附，以及对土壤微生物群的影响。最后，我们讨论了标准协议、田间试验和法规的必要性，以确保纳米颗粒在农业中的可持续使用。通过将纳米技术与组学驱动的理解相结合，目前的综述提出了对纳米颗粒介导的植物反应的全面理解，这将为精准农业中新颖和环保的应用打开大门

Pest and disease infestations pose a significant threat to global food security, drastically lowering plant health and agricultural productivity. Conventional pest management methods, primary reliant on chemical pesticides and fertilizers, often present limited long-term effectiveness and are associated with significant environmental and health risks. In response to these challenges, nanotechnology has arisen as a revolutionary instrument in modern agriculture. Nanoparticles (NPs) have unique physical and chemical properties such as high surface area, adjustable surface charge, and controlled release patterns. These properties enable precise delivery of farm chemicals to specific plant tissues or pest targets. This approach improves effectiveness and reduces unintended environmental exposure. Nanoparticles application in the form of nanofertilizers and nanopesticides provides a sustainable alternative to traditional agricultural inputs, offering controlled release, increased bioavailability, and decreased toxicity. This method not only promotes pest and disease control in plants but reduce toxicity. This review explores the role of nanoparticles in pest and disease managements, their mechanisms of action, and their potential contributions to environmental conservation and agricultural sustainability.

病虫害对全球粮食安全构成重大威胁，大大降低了植物健康和农业生产力。传统的有害生物管理方法主要依赖化学农药和化肥，其长期效力往往有限，并与重大的环境和健康风险有关。为了应对这些挑战，纳米技术作为一种革命性的工具出现在现代农业中。纳米粒子（NPs）具有独特的物理和化学性质，如高表面积、可调节的表面电荷和可控的释放模式。这些特性使农用化学品能够精确地输送到特定的植物组织或害虫目标。这种方法提高了有效性，减少了意外的环境暴露。纳米颗粒以纳米肥料和纳米农药的形式应用为传统农业投入提供了可持续的替代方案，提供了可控的释放，提高了生物利用度，降低了毒性。这种方法不仅促进了植物病虫害的控制，而且降低了毒性。本文综述了纳米颗粒在病虫害管理中的作用、作用机制及其对环境保护和农业可持续性的潜在贡献。

The application of plant secondary metabolites possessing anti-aging characteristics has garnered significant interest among researchers in this domain, owing to their potential benefits in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors. Numerous studies have been conducted to discover effective ways to increase the amounts of these compounds in plants. Nevertheless, conventional synthesis techniques frequently encounter difficulties concerning efficacy, stability, and bioavailability. Nanoparticles, owing to their unique physicochemical properties, improve the absorption and effectiveness of nutrients and growth regulators in plants. This improvement results in a higher yield of important secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids. This study investigates how nanoparticles modulate the biosynthesis of anti-aging phytochemicals highlighting the potential applications and implications of this innovative approach in plant biotechnology and natural product research. While there are promising results, challenges such as production costs, scalability, and regulatory concerns persist, and ongoing research and development, coupled with interdisciplinary collaboration, will be crucial in overcoming these obstacles.

Although physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques are widely used in materials science to generate nanoparticles and nanostructured films with high precision, their application in agricultural systems remains largely unexplored. To date, there are no reports in the scientific literature describing the use of nanoparticles synthesized via sputtering or vapor deposition methods in plant-based systems. However, these techniques offer notable advantages, including chemical-free synthesis, high reproducibility, tunable surface chemistry, and scalability, positioning them as valuable tools for future exploration in sustainable agriculture. Thus, surface-engineered nanomaterials produced via these physical methods could, in the near future, play a pivotal role in the development of advanced seed coatings, nano-enabled fertilizers, or abiotic stress mitigation films.

尽管物理气相沉积（PVD）技术在材料科学中广泛应用于高精度的纳米颗粒和纳米结构薄膜，但其在农业系统中的应用仍未得到充分的探索。迄今为止，在科学文献中还没有报道描述通过溅射或气相沉积方法在植物基系统中合成纳米颗粒的使用。然而，这些技术具有显著的优势，包括无化学合成、高重复性、可调表面化学和可扩展性，使它们成为未来可持续农业探索的宝贵工具。因此，在不久的将来，通过这些物理方法生产的表面工程纳米材料可能在先进种子包衣、纳米肥料或非生物胁迫缓解膜的开发中发挥关键作用。

Arsenic (As) contamination poses a critical threat to global agricultural sustainability, particularly in regions dependent on arsenic-laden groundwater for irrigation. Prolonged exposure to arsenic not only compromises crop yield and food safety—especially in rice-dominated systems—but also poses severe public health risks through dietary accumulation. Conventional remediation strategies have had limited success in field applications due to scalability issues, poor selectivity, and environmental drawbacks. Recent advancements in nanotechnology offer innovative, efficient, and adaptable approaches for arsenic mitigation in agroecosystems. Engineered nanomaterials—such as iron oxide nanoparticles, carbon-based nanostructures, and biodegradable polymeric composites—exhibit high arsenic adsorption capacity, environmental responsiveness, and potential for integration with existing farming practices. These nano-interventions function across the soil–water–plant continuum, enabling targeted arsenic immobilization, enhancing soil health, and reducing plant uptake. However, key challenges remain, including concerns about nanoparticle toxicity, environmental persistence, lack of standardized risk assessments, and limited field-scale validations. Emerging research emphasizes the need for eco-safe, multifunctional nanomaterials and precision delivery systems, supported by real-time monitoring tools and robust regulatory frameworks. This review presented an integrative perspective on the current state of nanotechnology in arsenic remediation for agriculture, highlights critical research gaps, and proposes strategic directions for future innovation. Advancing safe and sustainable nano-enabled solutions holds immense promise for protecting food systems and ensuring long-term environmental resilience.

砷污染对全球农业的可持续性构成严重威胁，特别是在依赖含砷地下水进行灌溉的地区。长期接触砷不仅会影响作物产量和食品安全——特别是在以水稻为主导的系统中——而且还会通过饮食积累造成严重的公共卫生风险。由于可扩展性问题、选择性差和环境缺陷，传统的修复策略在现场应用中取得的成功有限。纳米技术的最新进展为农业生态系统中的砷缓解提供了创新、高效和适应性强的方法。工程纳米材料——如氧化铁纳米颗粒、碳基纳米结构和可生物降解的聚合物复合材料——表现出高砷吸附能力、环境响应性和与现有农业实践整合的潜力。这些纳米干预措施在土壤-水-植物连续统中发挥作用，实现靶向砷固定化，增强土壤健康，减少植物吸收。然而，关键的挑战仍然存在，包括对纳米颗粒毒性、环境持久性、缺乏标准化风险评估以及有限的现场规模验证的担忧。新兴研究强调对生态安全、多功能纳米材料和精确输送系统的需求，并由实时监测工具和强大的监管框架支持。本文综述了纳米技术在农业砷修复中的应用现状，强调了关键的研究差距，并提出了未来创新的战略方向。推进安全和可持续的纳米解决方案为保护粮食系统和确保长期的环境复原力带来了巨大的希望。

Low-temperature (LT) stress limits the growth, yield, and quality of warm-season crops like tomatoes. We compared Sodium silicate (Ion-Si) and silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) sprayed on tomato ‘Zhongza-9’ seedlings under LT. SiNPs surpassed Ion-Si by reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, while increasing chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate and biomass, stabilizing membranes, enhancing macro- and micronutrient uptake. Additionally, SiNPs upregulated sucrose synthase (SS) and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activities, downregulated starch synthase (AI) and neutral invertase (NI) activities, increasing sucrose. Transcriptome showed SiNPs activated genes for chlorophyll metabolism, photosynthesis, antioxidants, sugar metabolism, and hormone signaling, elevating superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) to strengthen LT tolerance. Our findings provide a basis for using SiNPs to improve the cold tolerance of tomatoes.

低温胁迫限制了西红柿等暖季作物的生长、产量和质量。结果表明，在低温胁迫下，硅酸钠（ionsi）和硅纳米颗粒（SiNPs）通过降低丙二醛（MDA）和活性氧（ROS）水平，提高叶绿素含量、净光合速率和生物量，稳定膜，促进宏观和微量养分吸收，超过了离子硅。此外，SiNPs上调蔗糖合成酶（SS）和蔗糖磷酸合成酶（SPS）活性，下调淀粉合成酶（AI）和中性转化酶（NI）活性，使蔗糖含量升高。转录组显示，SiNPs激活了叶绿素代谢、光合作用、抗氧化剂、糖代谢和激素信号传导的基因，提高了超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）的水平，增强了对LT的耐受性。本研究结果为利用SiNPs提高番茄耐寒性提供了基础。

Drought stress during the reproductive stage critically reduces the productivity of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) in arid regions. This study evaluated the effectiveness of foliar-applied nano-fertilizers as a sustainable strategy to improve drought tolerance and maintain cluser bean yield. A field experiment was conducted in June 2022 at MNS-University of Agriculture, Multan, Pakistan, using two genotypes (BR-2017 and BR-2021) under different irrigation regimes. Treatments included nano-Potassium (2470 gm/ha), nano-Zinc (1235 gm/ha), nano-Boron (930 gm/ha), and their combined application (825, 415, and 310 gm/ha, respectively). The experiment followed a split-plot RCBD design with three replications. BR-2021 showed superior performance, especially with the combined nano-fertilizer treatment, resulting in notable increases in plant height (30.3 %), pods per plant (1.5 %), pod yield (7.31 %), 100-seed weight (12.4 %), photosynthetic rate (4.44 %), and protein content (7.34 %) compared to the skipped irrigation with control. Under water deficit, K, Zn, and B nano-fertilizers improved photosynthesis rate by 7.12 %, 13.2 %, and 16.34 % in BR-2021 and by 39.2 %, 37.4 %, and 40.3 % in BR-2017, respectively. Transpiration rates also increased slightly across treatments. Overall, BR-2021 showed better performance than BR-2017 in key agronomic and physiological parameters. These findings revealed that the potential of nano-fertilizers as an eco-friendly and effective tool for enhancing drought resilience and sustaining cluster bean productivity under limited water availability, thereby contributing to climate-resilient and resource-efficient agriculture.

干旱胁迫严重降低了干旱区集束豆（Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.）繁殖阶段的生产力。本研究评估了叶面施用纳米肥料作为一种可持续策略的有效性，以提高抗旱性和保持黑豆产量。2022年6月，在巴基斯坦木尔坦的mns农业大学进行了一项田间试验，在不同灌溉制度下使用了两种基因型（BR-2017和BR-2021）。处理包括纳米钾（2470 gm/ha）、纳米锌（1235 gm/ha）、纳米硼（930 gm/ha）和它们的联合施用（分别为825、415和310 gm/ha）。实验采用裂图RCBD设计，3个重复。BR-2021表现出较好的增产效果，特别是在纳米肥联合处理下，其株高（30.3 %）、单株荚果（1.5 %）、荚果产量（7.31 %）、百粒重（12.4 %）、光合速率（4.44 %）和蛋白质含量（7.34 %）均显著高于对照免灌。水分亏缺条件下，K、Zn和B纳米肥对BR-2021的光合速率分别提高了7.12 %、13.2 %和16.34 %，对BR-2017的光合速率分别提高了39.2 %、37.4 %和40.3 %。蒸腾速率在不同处理间也略有增加。总体而言，BR-2021在关键农艺和生理参数上的表现优于BR-2017。这些发现揭示了纳米肥料作为一种生态友好的有效工具的潜力，可以在有限的水分供应下增强抗旱性和维持丛豆生产力，从而促进气候适应型和资源节约型农业。

Sulphur (S) is an essential macro-nutrient, vital for synthesis of protein, enzymatic activity, and stress tolerance in various agricultural crops. However, widespread sulphur deficiencies due to intensive agriculture practices and declining atmospheric deposition have necessitated innovative nutrient delivery systems. Nano-sulphur (NS) fertilizers, comprising elemental sulphur particles below 100 nm, represent a promising alternative to conventional sulphur fertilizers for efficient nutrient uptakes. This review critically examines the synthesis techniques such as chemical, physical, and biological—used to produce sulphur nanoparticles (SNPs), along with their physic-chemical properties and agronomic benefits. NS significantly improves sulphur bio-availability, enhances chlorophyll content through photosynthesis activities, promotes shoot and root development, boosts systemic acquired resistance, and facilitates heavy metal immobilization in contaminated soils. It also exhibits potent antimicrobial activity against soil borne phyto-pathogens, offering an eco-friendly alternative to different agro-chemicals. Moreover, SNPs interact with rhizospheric microbial diversity to improve nutrient cycling and soil health, contributing to higher crop productivity and improved soil fertility.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an economically important crop that is widely used in livestock feed and industrial applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to bio-based materials. However, its productivity is threatened by plant-parasitic nematodes that cause root damage and facilitate secondary infections, resulting in estimated annual losses of USD 157 billion worldwide. Although widely used, the use of traditional nematicides is increasingly restricted owing to their environmental toxicity, low efficacy, and health risks. Consequently, eco-friendly alternatives, particularly those based on phytochemicals and microbial agents, have been developed. Recent advances in nanotechnology have enhanced the delivery, stability, and specificity of bio-based agents. This review explores the state-of-the-art strategies that integrate nanotechnology with natural nematicidal compounds and biological control agents for sustainable nematode management in soybeans. Emphasis was placed on the mechanisms of action, synergistic approaches, and the challenges associated with transitioning to field-scale applications.

Agricultural sustainability is increasingly threatened by human activities, highlighting the urgent need for eco-friendly alternatives to current practices. While nanotechnology has introduced innovative solutions, the widespread use of chemically synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) raises long-term environmental concerns. The review highlights the coupling of biologically synthesized NPs with biological moieties, such as plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs), and embellishing them with carriers for designing next-generation nanobioformulations (NBFs). To the best of our knowledge, no inclusive review has compiled insights on the technological advancements for plant stimulation, stress mitigation, and pathogen suppression with respect to NBFs. This article fills these gaps and offer a novel and comprehensive insights into the subject of next-generation NBFs by combining the advantages of nanotechnology + bioformulation research. Additionally, integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) for predictive analysis and real-time monitoring in NBFs research can significantly improve agronomic precision, leading to intelligent and eco-conscious farming approaches. Information generated from AI-powered sensors, drones, big data analytics, and machine learning (ML) algorithms can help researchers working in the area of NBFs to customize the products according to the requirements and mitigate existing constraints in agricultural systems. The advance solutions provided by commercially available nanobioproducts can enhance efficiency, ensure environmental safety, and enable targeted agricultural applications.
