Abstract

An increasing number of agricultural uses for nanotechnology has also sparked interest in nano-priming of plants. Plant growth and seedproduction can be stunted by the physiological, psychological, and molecular alterations that are commonly associated with stressor events. Nano-priming is a novel technique for seedpriming that enhances plant resilience in improved germination, growth, and yield in unfavorable environmental conditions. Unfavorable impacts of nano-priming upon seed germination, seedling, and plant growth features were detected despite the fact that the usage of nanoparticles increased environmental stress tolerance of these plants. The most crucial aspects of these plants' germination, morphology, and physiology that influence their establishment, development, andproduction are also addressed, along with the impact of various nanoparticles. Using nanotechnology for agricultural purposes is to make growing crops easier and more efficient. Nanotechnology is a viable method for sustainability boosting agricultural output, which is essential to achieving this objective.
