摘要

Oilseed crops like soybean (Glycine max), rapeseed (Brassica napus), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus) are essential in global agriculture, offering edible oils, protein sources, and raw materials for various industrial applications. Nonetheless, abiotic stresses frequently undermine their productivity, encompassing factors such as salinity, drought, heavy metal toxicity, radiation, and ozone stress. Conventional techniques for improving crop resilience face constraints, highlighting the need for novel strategies like nanotechnology. Nanoparticles (NPs) demonstrate considerable promise in alleviating abiotic stresses through the enhancement of nutrient uptake, the improvement of photosynthetic efficiency, and the activation of plant defense mechanisms. Metal-based nanoparticles such as ZnONPs, TiO₂NPs, and Fe₃O₄NPs play an important role in alleviating stress through the reduction of oxidative damage and the enhancement of metabolic stability. Moreover, nanoparticles derived from biopolymers, like chitosan NPs, have shown efficacy in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby mitigating cellular damage during stress conditions. Recent developments suggest that nanotechnology has the potential to significantly transform sustainable oilseed crop production, particularly in challenging environmental circumstances. While the results are encouraging, there are still significant challenges in comprehending the long-term environmental effects and the safe use of nanoparticles in agriculture. Further investigation is essential to enhance NP formulations, implement extensive field trials, and develop regulatory frameworks for their responsible application. The potential for integrating nanotechnology with precision agriculture and smart delivery systems holds the promise of transforming crop management. This advancement could enhance yield and stress tolerance, all while reducing environmental risks. This investigation emphasizes the possible uses of nanotechnology in oilseed crops and its significance in promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
