Abstract:

With global climate change and human population increase, the demand for sustainable development of plant production is more urgent. Nanotechnology is one of the most developed sciences in the 21st century and a promising tool for sustainable agricultural development. In recent years, the applications of nanomaterials for enhancement of plant production have developed rapidly, and potential of this technology in traditional plant production has been proven. In this review, we elucidate the promotional effect of nanomaterials on plant growth and their mechanisms. We discuss developments of nanomaterial research in plant growth, including uptake and transport of nanoparticles, fertilizers and plant growth regulators effects of nano particles, nano enzyme enhancement of stress resistance and nano particle regulation of photosynthesis. Further, the challenges of nanomaterial applications in plant production and research priorities are discussed, emphasizing the need for a systematic approach to the use of nanotechnology in agriculture. We hope this paper will provide new ideas for future research on nanoparticle regulation of plant functions.

Key words: nanomaterial, plant production, nano fertilizer, nano plant growth regulator, photosynthesis
