Physicochemical Interactions of Engineered Nanoparticles and Plants: A Systemic Approach, Volume Four in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series, presents foundational information on how ENMs interact with the surrounding environment. Key themes include source, fate and transport of ENMs in the environment, biophysicochemical transformations of ENMs, and chemical reactions and mechanisms of ENMs transport in plants. This book is an essential read for any scientist or researcher looking to understand the molecular interactions between ENMs and Plants.

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) reach plant ecosystems through intentional or unintentional pathways. In any case, after release, these materials may be transformed in the environment by physical, chemical and biochemical processes. Once in contact with plant systems, biotransformation may still occur, affecting or stimulating plant metabolism. Since plants are the producers to the food chain, it is of paramount importance to understand these mechanisms at the molecular level.

Presents data, predictions and modeling regarding the presence of ENMs in air, water and soil Explains, at the molecular level, the biogeochemical cycle of ENMs before plant exposure Focuses on the reactions and mechanisms of ENMs and plants

Engineered Nanomaterials for Agricultural Sustainability: Current Status, Methods, and Future Strategies offers an in-depth exploration of how nanotechnology is transforming agriculture by enhancing crop productivity and environmental sustainability. The book addresses the bottleneck between the development and the implementation of nanotechnology in agriculture, focusing on the knowledge gaps related to environmental fate, standardization of characterization methods, mechanism of biological interaction, safety concerns, and the lack of consensus in regulatory guidelines.A volume in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series, Engineered Nanomaterials for Agricultural Sustainability covers the design and application of nanomaterials for critical agricultural applications, such as nano-fertilizers, nano-pesticides, soil remediation, and nutrient management. It discusses key considerations regarding the fate and transport of the nano-enabled agrochemicals for their safe and effective commercialization. Subject matter experts provide comprehensive insights into the characterization techniques for studying nanomaterials in an agricultural context and advancements in understanding their mechanism of action and toxicity using multi-omics tools. The chapters present the latest research alongside regulatory challenges, offering a structured approach that enables readers to design nanomaterials for specific agricultural applications while avoiding undesirable impacts.With a strong focus on sustainability, this volume provides a roadmap for responsible and effective implementation of nanotechnology in agriculture. It will be a go-to reference for those looking to harness nanomaterials to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security.

Presents an overview of nanomaterials for enhancing agriculture, including fertilizers, pesticides, and soil managementIncludes methods for characterizing nanomaterials and assessing plant interactions and responsesAddresses key regulatory, environmental, and societal considerations for responsible use of agricultural nanotechnology

Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum explores the various nanomaterials that are impacting agriculture whether through intentional or unintentional pathways. Providing a concise outlook of NMs in soil chemistry, physics, and biology, it highlights nanomaterial transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake. Plants may be exposed to naturally generated or artificially produced nanomaterials (ENMs). They can absorb NMs from the soil through roots or leaves but return them to the soil through litter, creating an intricate network of NMs cycling in a soil-plant continuum. Understanding this NM transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake is integral to understanding, and protecting, an ecosystem. Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum also discusses the translocation and biotransformation of NMs in plants and their effects on plant metabolism. Considering NMs as new and emerging agrochemicals, a detailed understanding of their role in the soil-plant continuum, ecosystem functioning, and services will also be discussed. This volume in the "Nanomaterial Plant Interactions" series highlights the recent insights into the impact, fate, and transport of NMs in the soil-plant continuum and their potential impacts on soil and plant health.Provides foundational insights into the interactions between nanomaterials (NMs) and the soil-plant systemCovers both intentional and unintentional impacts of NMs in agricultural and natural environmentExamines the environmental risks and potential effects of NMs to suport optimal decision-making
