Abstract

It is well known that salinity, classified among the major abiotic stresses, negatively influences the growth as well as yield of plants in the whole world. There is a serious concern among scientists to overcome crop losses due to salt stress. With the breakneck advancement in the context of nanotechnology, various engineered nanoparticles are being recognized and applied in plant science to safeguard plants from the devastating repercussions of salinity stress. Nanoparticles function as magic bullets owing to their unique physico-chemical properties. The incorporation of nanoparticles can potentially modulate physiological and biochemical approaches of plants which could possibly enhance salinity tolerance. To improve plants’ adaptation to salinity, nanoparticles encapsulated with certain biomolecules and/or signaling agents might be a more effective approach. This chapter aims to deliver an update on the utilization of different classes of nanoparticles and their mechanisms of action to manage soil salinity in plants. Additionally, the impact of nano-encapsulation on salt-stressed plants at physio-biochemical levels will be discussed.
