Abstract

The ongoing research on the applications of magnetic nanoparticles in Bio-medicine and the results obtained up to now open a wide range of possibilities for their use in Life Science disciplines, for example in general plant research and agronomy. The work presented here focuses on the interaction of two types of magnetic core-shell nanoparticles with plants and microorganisms. The research carried out with carbon coated iron nanoparticles aims to investigate their penetration and translocation in whole living plants and into plant cells, as response of the nanoparticles to magnetic field gradients. This study is essential to evaluate the suitability of any nanoparticles as magnetic responsive carriers for the localized delivery of phytosanitary or pest control treatments. The study carried out with silica coated nanoparticles focuses on their interaction with fungal cells, taking a soil borne plant pathogen as in vitro model. Our research paves the way to use magnetic nanoparticles for detection, selective control and eventual elimination of pathogenic fungi.
