Dear Yusuf Farrokhzad

You are correct! While nanomaterials are often synthesized for a variety of purposes, engineering them specifically for plant systems is essential to maximize their effectiveness in plant science applications. In my observation, to optimize nanomaterials for plant applications, several key characteristics should be engineered:

These engineered properties enable nanomaterials to improve plant growth, nutrient uptake, and disease resistance while minimizing environmental impact.

Thanks.

To enhance nanomaterials for plant applications, characteristics such as size, shape, surface chemistry, stability, and targeting mechanisms should be manipulated. These modifications can improve biocompatibility, uptake, and efficacy, optimizing their use in plant nutrition, pest control, and stress management.
