Nanoparticles applied to plant science: a review

Sandra Cristina Capaldi Arruda et al. Talanta. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

The present review addresses certain important aspects regarding nanoparticles and the environment, with an emphasis on plant science. The production and characterization of nanoparticles is the focus of this review, providing an idea of the range and the consolidation of these aspects in the literature, with modifications on the routes of synthesis and the application of the analytical techniques for characterization of the nanoparticles (NPs). Additionally, aspects related to the interaction between the NPs and plants, their toxicities, and the phytoremediation process, among others, are also discussed. Future trends are also presented, supplying evidence for certain possibilities regarding new research involving nanoparticles and plants.

Keywords: Analytical techniques; Characterization; Phytoremediation; Sensing; Synthesis; Toxicity.
