Nanotechnology is emerging as a transformative tool in sustainable agriculture, offers innovative solutions to enhance crop growth, productivity, and stress toleranceTolerance. NPs, due to their nanoscale size and unique physico-chemical properties, differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. Various types of nanomaterialsNanomaterials likely metallic (Ag, Zn, Cu, Fe), metalMetal oxides (ZnO, TiO2), carbonCarbon-based (graphene oxide, fullerenes), and silicon-based had shown potential to promote plant growthPlant growth. However, their effects can be both beneficial and toxic, depending on particle characteristics, concentration, plant species, and environmental conditions. Nano-proteomicsNano-proteomics examines proteinProteins expression change in response to NP exposure. This technique provides insight into the mechanisms that govern plant responses at the molecular level, including the regulation of proteinsProteins involved in stress responses, photosynthesisPhotosynthesis, defense, and metabolism.
