Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the use of engineered nanomaterials to suppress plant disease and enhance crop yield
Alia D. Servin,Wade H. Elmer,Arnab Mukherjee,Roberto De La Torre-Roche,Helmi Hamdi,Jason C. White,Prem S. Bindraban,Christian O. Dimkpa +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the current literature on the use of nanoscale nutrients (metals, metal oxides, carbon) to suppress crop disease and subsequently enhance growth and yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and C60 Fullerenes Differentially Impact the Accumulation of Weathered Pesticides in Four Agricultural Plants
Roberto De La Torre-Roche,Joseph Hawthorne,Yingqing Deng,Baoshan Xing,Wenjun Cai,Lee A. Newman,Qiang Wang,Xingmao Ma,Helmi Hamdi,Jason C. White +9 more
TL;DR: The data show that pesticide accumulation varies greatly with crop species and carbon nanomaterial type/concentration, and MWCNT coexposure decreased chlordane and DDx accumulation 21-80% across all crops, depending on species and nanotube concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated methodology for assessing the impact of food matrix and gastrointestinal effects on the biokinetics and cellular toxicity of ingested engineered nanomaterials.
Glen M. DeLoid,Yanli Wang,Klara Kapronezai,Laura Rubio Lorente,Roujie Zhang,Georgios Pyrgiotakis,Nagarjun V. Konduru,Maria Ericsson,Jason C. White,Roberto De La Torre-Roche,Hang Xiao,David Julian McClements,David Julian McClements,Philip Demokritou +13 more
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the interactions of iENMs with food and GIT components influenced nanoparticle fate and transport, biokinetics and toxicological profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fullerene-Enhanced Accumulation of p,p′-DDE in Agricultural Crop Species
Roberto De La Torre-Roche,Joseph Hawthorne,Yingqing Deng,Baoshan Xing,Wenjun Cai,Lee A. Newman,Chen Wang,Xingmao Ma,Jason C. White +8 more
TL;DR: The findings show that the carbon-based nanomaterials may significantly alter the accumulation and potentially the toxicity of cocontaminants in agricultural systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Metalloid and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles on Fusarium Wilt of Watermelon.
Wade H. Elmer,Roberto De La Torre-Roche,Luca Pagano,Sanghamitra Majumdar,Nubia Zuverza-Mena,Christian O. Dimkpa,Jorge L. Gardea-Torresdey,Jason C. White +7 more
TL;DR: Gene expression in watermelon roots revealed strong upregulation of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and PR1 genes when CuO NP and F. oxysporum f.
