What is Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles: Plant Response, Interaction, Phytotoxicity, and Defence Mechanisms about?

Nanotechnology has a great potential in revolutionizing the agricultural sector. The employment of nanoparticles (NPs) for enhancing agricultural production is catching the eye of researchers. Among a wide array of NPs, Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) NPs are increasingly used in agriculture. They are known to increase the photosynthetic activity of plants, improve biomass/yield, and impart resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses up to a certain extent. TiO 2 NPs exhibit numerous chemical properties including photocatalytic property that make them the most suitable candidate for agricultural applications. TiO 2 NPs generally are absorbed by plants by means of root and transported to scion. They have the propensity to enrich the plant nutrition uptake by increasing the root hairs and ultimately plant growth. Besides this recent studies also mentioned phytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and some other detrimental effects of the use of TiO 2 on plants when NPs are used in bulk quantities or in higher concentrations. They also cause serious damage to plants like DNA damage and inhibiting photosynthetic activity by closing stomata. That is why, it becomes the need of the hour to estimate and quant
