nanoparticles

14 articles

Nanoparticles are particles of matter typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometres in diameter, small enough to interact with biological systems at the molecular level. In plant science, they are studied for their ability to penetrate cell walls and membranes, enabling targeted delivery of nutrients, pesticides, or genetic material directly into plant tissues. This opens new avenues for improving crop protection, enhancing nutrient uptake efficiency, and developing novel methods for plant transformation and genetic research.
