Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) are tiny substances that can exist in the soil with different forms at different concentrations. In general, they present enormous effects on the growth, physiology, and molecular responses in plants. Indeed, they can penetrate the roots, stem, and leaves via different ways like stomata, plasmodesmata, xylem, and phloem and through transporter proteins like aquaporins. Once entered the plants, NPs induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, and the plants respond to ROS by stimulates the production of antioxidants and antioxidant enzymes as well as the production of various primary and secondary metabolites like flavonoids and phenolic compounds. In addition, NPs have significantly affected the distribution of mineral profiles in plants. NPs considerably affect plant growth and yield in a dose-dependent fashion. At higher concentrations, they induced potent cytotoxicity and genotoxicity and thus reduced the growth and development of plants in turn decrease the yield. NPs exert potent changes in the transcriptome and metabolome pattern of plants to counteract the ROS imposed by NPs. This review depicts the overview of transcriptomic and metabolomic responses of plants towards nanopollution.
