This book provides relevant findings on nanoparticles' toxicity,
their uptake, translocation and mechanisms of interaction with
plants at cellular and sub-cellular level. The small size and large
specific surface area of nanoparticles endow them with high
chemical reactivity and intrinsic toxicity. Such unique
physicochemical properties draw global attention of scientists to
study potential risks and adverse effects of nanoparticles in the
environment. Their toxicity has pronounced effects and consequences
for plants and ultimately the whole ecosystem. Plants growing in
nanomaterials-polluted sites may exhibit altered metabolism, growth
reduction, and lower biomass production. Nanoparticles can adhere
to plant roots and exert physicochemical toxicity and subsequently
cell death in plants. On the other hand, plants have developed
various defense mechanisms against this induced toxicity. This
books discusses recent findings as well as several unresolved
issues and challenges regarding the interaction and biological
effects of nanoparticles. Only detailed studies of these processes
and mechanisms will allow researchers to understand the complex
plant-nanomaterial interactions.
