Plant nanotechnology is the application of nanomaterials to improve plant growth, health, and agricultural efficiency. The 2nd Edition of the Plant Science and Molecular Biology World Conference will explore how this technology combines the study of plant behavior and the alteration of genes and processes within plants. It helps improve nutrient delivery, stress resistance, and disease control, offering innovative, sustainable farming and crop management solutions.

Types of plant nanotechnology:
Nano fertilizers
Nano herbicides and Pesticides
Nano biopesticides
Nano-based Sensors
Nanocarriers for Gene Delivery
Nanomaterials for Stress Resistance
Nanoencapsulation for Controlled Release
 

Applications of Plant Nanotechnology:

Gene Delivery and Editing: Nanocarriers facilitate the precise delivery of genetic material (DNA, RNA) to plant cells for gene editing, gene silencing, and expression studies.
Molecular Sensing: Nanosensors monitor plant health by detecting changes in molecular levels, such as stress proteins, pathogens, or nutrient deficiencies.
Enhanced Photosynthesis: Nanomaterials improve photosynthetic efficiency by enhancing light absorption and enzyme activity at the cellular level.
Stress Response Modulation: Nanotechnology enhances plant molecular pathways involved in stress resistance (e.g., drought, salinity) at the genetic and biochemical levels.
Targeted Delivery of Growth Regulators: Nanoparticles enable precise delivery of plant hormones or growth regulators, influencing growth and development at the molecular level.
Nanomaterials for Cellular Protection: Nanomaterials protect plant cells from oxidative stress or environmental damage, preserving cellular integrity.
Improved Nutrient Uptake: Nanotechnology enhances root interactions and nutrient transport, helping to improve the efficiency of nutrient absorption at the molecular level.
 

Plant nanotechnology offers innovative solutions to enhance plant growth, resilience, and productivity. Enabling precise and targeted interventions is key to improving agricultural efficiency and ensuring sustainable food production.
