Synergistic Effects of Nanoparticles Under Various Abiotic Stresses for Higher Performance of Agricultural Crops

Nanotechnology is the backbone of the modern renaissance in all fields. Agriculture, as one of the most important of these fields, has received a large share. Agricultural crops can be affected by many abiotic factors such as temperature, humidity, drought, salinity, and light. Nanoparticles can reduce the negative efficacy of abiotic factors by making synergistic action to the phytohormones and thus increase the crop yields. Nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, selenium nanoparticles, and silicon dioxide can regulate the protective responses of plant by inducing of synergistic action against different abiotic factors. This study aim to clarify the role of nanoparticle elements in reducing the harmful effects of abiotic stress.
