Nanoparticles potentially mediate salt stress tolerance in plants

Zulfiqar, Faisal, Ashraf, Muhammad·2021·Plant Physiology and Biochemistry

Abstract

In the era of climate change, salt stress is a promising threat to agriculture, limiting crop production via imposing primary effects such as osmotic and ionic, as well as secondary effects such as oxidative stress, perturbance in hormonal homeostasis, and nutrient imbalance. On the other hand, production areas are expanding into the salt affected regions due to excessive pressure for fulfilling food security targets to meet the needs of continuously increasing human population. Accumulating evidences demonstrate that supplementation of nanoparticles to plants can significantly alleviate the injurious effects caused by various harsh conditions including salt stress, and hence, regulate adaptive mechanisms in plants. Various types of NPs and nanofertilizers have shown a promising evidence so far regarding salt stress management. In this review, we recapitulate recent pioneering progress made towards acquiring salt stress tolerance in crop plants utilizing NPs. Finally, future research directions in this domain to explicate the comprehensive roles of nanoparticles in improving salt tolerance in plants are underscored. To ensure social acceptance and safe use of NPs, some conclusive directions have been elaborated in order to achieve sustainable progress in crop production under saline environments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
