Advanced Nanotechnology in Plants Methods and Applications PDF

Nanotechnology uses nanomaterials/nanoparticles that can penetrate plant cells and interact with intracellular organelles and metabolites impacting plant growth, development, physiology, and biochemistry.  Advanced Nanotechnology in Plants: Methods and Applications explores emerging plant nanotechnology, covering advanced methods and applications with an emphasis on the mitigation of plant diseases and environmental stressors.  This technology can lead to the improvement of crop quality and yield to face the challenge of global climate change with an expanding global population.

Features

Summarizes advanced methods and current applications of nanotechnology to mitigate plant stress

Supports the Paris Agreement, which tackles three main objectives for sustainably increasing

agricultural productivity and incomes, adapting and building resilience to climate change, and reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions

Discusses potential uses and future directions in green nanotechnology for smart and

sustainable agriculture

The content fits the goals of the UN SDGs contributing to goals 12 and 15 for responsible consumption and production and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems.

Provides current research findings of engineered nanoparticles for phytoremediation

This book is a reference for students, researchers, and scientists in the field of plant sciences and nanotechnology.  It is also useful for those in green chemistry, and environmental sciences, and can be a practical handbook for academics, including teachers, students, and agricultural experts.
