Abstract
Abiotic stress possess significant challenge against crop development by
subjecting them to adverse environmental conditions. Nanoparticles aids as a
promising tool for enhancing plant health and improving capacity to tolerate
against both biotic and abiotic hindrances.
Among the nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles has been testified to exhibit
significant potential in mitigating stress in plants with Zinc as integral micronutrient
for diverse physiological mechanisms. ZnO nanoparticles have been studied as a
vital component for plant development, including mineral uptake, physiological
mechanisms and antioxidant activity. Along with its signifance to plant growth,
ZnO nanoparticles also possess advantageous properties such as low toxicity,
cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with living organisms, distinguishing
them from other types of metal oxide nanoparticles. However,
along with its beneficial approach, its application in higher concentrations
and prolonged exposure causes adverse consequences on plants. This review
focusses to explore current findings of the potential of ZnO nanoparticles in
modulating crops development and their potential in mitigating abiotic
stressors.
