ABSTRACT

The interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) and plant cells are one of the most important aspects that are involved in the development of plant nanotechnology. The NPs released in plant cells inevitably interact with the basic organelles of plant cells. Because thousands of studies have addressed plant transformation, conversion, regeneration, accumulation and phytotoxicity of different types of NPs and even their transmission across the food chain, most of the important issues in the field of nanotechnology in plant interactions have remained for a long time. In this review, uptake and translocation pathways of NPs in plants, phytotoxicity, interactions, improvement and transformation are systematically reviewed. In particular, analytical nanotechnology and methodology and future approaches to related fields are proposed.
