About This Topic

Last few decades, implementation of nanotechnology in agriculture; especially on crops plants has increased. The various types and sizes of nanoparticles were used to enhance crop growth and development. The fate of nanoparticles in environment were also monitored including its accumulation and toxicity behaviors in plants. The accumulation nanoparticles under high content were noted to accumulated in plant tissues. The morphological, anatomical, physiological and biochemical indices were significantly explored, however, the studies on genetic modifications and adaptation mechanism is still not well explored. Moreover, efforts are continuing explore the genetic responses and adaptations mechanisms of nanoparticles are ongoing and noted one of the emerging research theme.

Thus, the present special issue is aimed to publish high quality scientific results as research paper and critically evaluated review paper to understand the behavior of nanoparticles at genetic level of plants. The special issue welcome research, review and short communication to be published after peer review. The collected manuscript within the title of special issue will be addition to scientific domain to explore the behavior of nanoparticles, open the possibility to modify and application, to the minimize the damage, and make edit in genomic level to crops for adaptation.
