The current potential of NPs synthesized using endophytic microbiomes to enhance plant growth and improve disease resistance, ultimately making agriculture more sustainable.Abstract:
Current strategies for increasing food production rely heavily on the use of agrichemicals to improve plant growth and resistance to disease. However, many of these chemicals have been shown to have negative impacts on human health and the environment. Nanotechnology presents itself as one of the promising technologies that can be employed to overcome these challenges, but, in the same way that agrichemicals can be harmful, so too can nanotechnology production lines cause harm. In an effort to produce nanoparticles (NPs) in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner, biological synthesis pathways using microbes and plants are being explored and developed. Synthesis of NPs using endophytic microbiomes is one of the biological approaches showing great potential, offering environmentally friendly alternatives to current production lines and adding value to agricultural systems. This review presents the current potential of NPs synthesized using endophytic microbiomes (primarily bacteria and fungi) to enhance plant growth and improve disease resistance, ultimately making agriculture more sustainable. The future focus on the exploration of this important technique is advocated.read more

TL;DR: An expert elicitation survey estimates yield losses for the five major food crops worldwide, suggesting that the highest losses are associated with food-deficit regions with fast-growing populations and frequently with emerging or re-emerging pests and diseases.

TL;DR: Carroll’s definition of endophyte is proposed to be expanded to include all organisms inhabiting plant organs that at some time in their life, can colonize internal plant tissues without causing apparent harm to their host.

Root uptake and phytotoxicity of ZnO nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The phytotoxicity of ZnO nanoparticles was not directly from their limited dissolution in the bulk nutrient solution or rhizosphere, implying that little (if any) Zn O nanoparticles could translocate up in the ryegrass in this study.

TL;DR: Electron microscopy analysis of thin sections of the gold actinomycete cells indicated that gold particles with good monodispersity were formed on the cell wall as well as on the cytospasmic membrane, and metal ions were not toxic to the cells and the cells continued to multiply after biosynthesis of thegold nanoparticles.
