Abstract

Nanotechnology revolutionized the field of science and technology in the beginning of 1990. It invaded in all areas of science including plant biotechnology. Plant biotechnology has drawn the attention of scientists and researchers to develop new concepts, tools, techniques, and methods to strengthen fulfilment of high demand of food across the globe. Now, we need more yield-promising crop varieties along with potential resistance to combat biotic and abiotic stresses. Engineered Nanoparticles (NPs) are enhancing growth and development of plant and increasing resistance against biotic stresses when used as fertilizers and pesticides. Till date most of the research studies primarily focussed on plant genetic engineering where NPs are employed as site-specific delivery vehicles for single stranded DNA (ssDNA), double stranded DNA (dsDNA), plasmid DNA, some biomolecules (siRNA), phytohormones, peptides, etc. Current chapter focusses on the collecting information on their application in relatively newer domains like plant tissue culture (PTC) where they could be potential disinfectant, induce organogenesis, and promote pigment synthesis. Moreover, some newly discovered application creating new horizon in plant biotechnology are their capability of being utilized in light harvesting even in infrared range, nanosensors for various plant and environmental analytes, seed nano-priming gene sequencing, and post-harvest loss reduction. This chapter mainly attempted to highlight the gap in research among nanotechnology and agriculture biotechnology.
