Abstract

Nanotechnology is the outmost emerging technology of 21st century. It is an excellent approach to renovate the food and agricultural industry with the help of different modern strategies for the rapid disease detection, molecular management of diseases, improving the aptitude of plants to take up more nutrients. Nanotechnology has the ability to enhance yield of nutrient values and also plays an important role in improving developed systems to monitor ecological conditions. Moreover a number of nano-materials are well known for their potential plant growth promoting effects. This present review article highlights the potential effects of Nanoparticles on flowering, growth, and seed production in plants.
