Abstract
Nanotechnology is an interesting field in which molecules that are not visible to our eyes are creating wonders. They exist in various fields of engineering and science such as electronics, agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals, and medical diagnostics, and many researchers are eyeing provision of better technology with these nanotechnological inventions. Nanomaterials show great promise, owing to their unique physicochemical properties, in the field of agriculture. Plants interact with these nanoparticles, resulting in various morphological, physiological, and genotoxic changes. Understanding of their interactions is very important for real gains in the potential use of nanotechnology in agriculture. Nanoparticles have been described as “magic bullets.” Nanoparticles can play a vital role in the growth of plants and help in the process of photosynthesis. They also influence the key processes that take place in the growth of plants, such as seed germination, root initiation, and the photosynthetic process. Plant nanobionics is a current topic in which engineered nanomaterials are combined with plant organelles to enhance the function of plants. This chapter discusses various applications of plant nanobionics in detail.
