Nanoparticles in Plant Biotechnology: Achievements and Future Challenges

Nanoparticles (NPs) are a wide class of materials, which have at least one dimension less than 100 nm. They are actively used in plant biology research due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, the large-scale application of NPs has led researchers to consider the problems, challenges, and consequences of their environmental effect. The aim of this paper is to summarise current achievements and progress of NP use in plant biotechnology and also to evaluate future implications in this field.
