ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2301358. [PMID: 38145358 PMCID: PMC10916655 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202301358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for understanding and manipulating signaling pathways in plant science, potentially facilitating the accelerated development of novel plant traits and crop yield improvement. The common strategy for delivering siRNA into intact plants using agrobacterium or viruses is complicated and time-consuming, limiting the application of RNAi in plant research. Here, a novel delivery method based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) is reported, which allows for the efficient delivery of siRNA into mature plant leaves via topical application without the aid of mechanical forces, achieving transient gene knockdown with up to 98% silencing efficiency at the molecular level. In addition, this method is nontoxic to plant leaves, enabling the repeated delivery of siRNA for long-term silencing. White spots and yellowing phenotypes are observed after spraying the MSN-siRNA complex targeted at phytoene desaturase and magnesium chelatase genes. After high light treatment, photobleaching phenotypes are also observed by spraying MSNs-siRNA targeted at genes into the Photosystem II repair cycle. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that MSNs can simultaneously silence multiple genes. The results suggest that MSN-mediated siRNA delivery is an effective tool for long-term multi-gene silencing, with great potential for application in plant functional genomic analyses and crop improvement.

Cai H, Zhou Y, Guo Z, Zheng X. Ratiometric electrogenerated chemiluminescence sensing microRNA based on electrochemically controlled release of lucigenin from silica/chitosan/lucigenin nanoparticles. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1288:342170. [PMID: 38220301 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
The dye-doped silica nanoparticles-based electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) has been widely explored for analytical purposes due to its high sensitivity, simplicity and wide dynamic concentration range. However, only a few of dye molecules located at the near surface of nanoparticles can participate in the ECL reaction due to the poor conductivity of silica nano-matrix. In addition, the ECL signal is easy to be affected by environmental interference, which results in poor accuracy. Herein, a ratiometric ECL sensing method is established based on the electrochemically controlled release of lucigenin molecules from silica/chitosan/lucigenin composite nanoparticles (Lu/CS NPs) with the aid of sulfide ions. Firstly, H+ produced from the electrochemical oxidation of HS- ions can combine with SiO- and displace lucigenin from Lu/CS NPs. The released lucigenin molecules react with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from the electroreduction of dissolved oxygen to produce the cathodic ECL signal. In addition, the excited elemental sulfur from the electrooxidation of HS- ions transfers its energy to lucigenin molecules and makes them be excited to produce energy-transfer anodic ECL signal. Based on these findings, a ratiometric ECL sensor is developed taking the anodic ECL intensity of lucigenin as a reference signal for the cathodic ECL of lucigenin. The proposed ratiometric ECL sensor has been successfully applied to the detection of let-7a with a wide linear range of 0.1-9.0 pM, a low detection limit of 28 fM, high selectivity and good reproducibility. Moreover, the developed approach was used to detect let-7a in human serum composite samples with good recoveries.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 903:166424.

Abstract
Nanopesticides have been selected as one of the top 10 chemical innovations for enhancing the efficacy and safety of agrochemicals. Herein, smart, degradable, and eco-friendly metal-organic framework MIL-101(FeIII) nanoherbicides coated with carboxymethyl cellulose-CaII (CMC-CaII) cross-linking hydrogel-like networks are synthesized via a simple strategy. The coating of the CMC-CaII hydrogel-like gatekeepers is oriented by the coordination unsaturated FeIII clusters on the surfaces of the MIL-101(FeIII) nanocarriers to form a dense film network to prevent paraquat (PQ) leakage. Based on the stimuli factors (acid/basic pH, GSH, phosphates, and EDTA) of physiological and natural environments of target plants, the nanoherbicides are combined with five stimuli-responsive properties to attain the various controlled release of packaged PQ by the disassembly of the gatekeepers and/or the degradation of the MOF skeleton structure. More importantly, based on the stimuli-responsive controlled release mechanisms, the eco-friendly nanocarriers are ultimately degraded against bioaccumulation in plants or soil. The coating of natural CMC could promote the spreading of PQ owing to improvement of wettability for aqueous droplets of nanoherbicides on hydrophobic foliage. The PQ trapped in nanocarriers can effectively prevent PQ degradation, which showed that cumulative degradation rate is ca. 2.6 times lower than that of technical PQ under UV irradiation. The prepared nanoherbicides loaded with PQ show good control efficacy against weeds by controlling the release of PQ; good safety on seed germination (germination rate 97.32-99.67 %), seedling emergence (emergence rate 95.53-99.67 %), and are beneficial for the growth of wheat seedling (increase rate of plant height 1.89-6.97 % and 0.54-5.67 % after 7 and 15 days of seedling emergence, respectively) in the greenhouse; good biosafety for honeybees (Apis mellifera L.), which shows that lethal rates were 2.04 and 2.55 times lower than technical PQ for incubation 24 and 48 h, respectively. The nanoherbicides have potential applications in the field for PQ green agriculture.

Abstract
Agronomic biofortification of wheat grain with zinc can improve the condition of about one billion people suffering from zinc (Zn) deficiency. However, with the challenge of cultivating high-yielding wheat varieties in Zn-deficient soils and the global need to produce higher-quality food that nourishes the growing population, innovation in the strategies to deliver Zn directly to plants will come into play. Consequently, existing foliar formulations will need further refinement to maintain the high agronomic productivity required in competitive global grain markets while meeting the dietary Zn intake levels recommended for humans. A new generation of foliar fertilisers that increase the amount of Zn assimilated in wheat plants and the translocation efficiency of Zn from leaves to grains can be a promising solution. Research on the efficacy of adjuvants and emerging nano-transporters relative to conventional Zn forms applied as foliar fertilisers to wheat has expanded rapidly in recent years. This review scopes the range of evidence available in the literature regarding the biofortification of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) resulting from foliar applications of conventional Zn forms, Zn nanoparticles and novel Zn-foliar formulations. We examine the foliar application strategies and the attained final concentration of grain Zn. We propose a conceptual model for the response of grain Zn biofortification of wheat to foliar Zn application rates. This review discusses some physiological aspects of transportation of foliarly applied Zn that need further investigation. Finally, we explore the prospects of engineering foliar nano-formulations that could effectively overcome the physicochemical barrier to delivering Zn to wheat grains.

Abstract
The excessive application of pesticides and fertilizers has generated losses in biological diversity, environmental pollution, and harmful effects on human health. Under this context, nanotechnology constitutes an innovative tool to alleviate these problems. Notably, applying nanocarriers as controlled release systems (CRSs) for agrochemicals can overcome the limitations of conventional products. A CRS for agrochemicals is an eco-friendly strategy for the ecosystem and human health. Nanopesticides based on synthetic and natural polymers, nanoemulsions, lipid nanoparticles, and nanofibers reduce phytopathogens and plant diseases. Nanoproducts designed with an environmentally responsive, controlled release offer great potential to create formulations that respond to specific environmental stimuli. The formulation of nanofertilizers is focused on enhancing the action of nutrients and growth stimulators, which show an improved nutrient release with site-specific action using nanohydroxyapatite, nanoclays, chitosan nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and amorphous calcium phosphate. However, despite the noticeable results for nanopesticides and nanofertilizers, research still needs to be improved. Here, we review the relevant antecedents in this topic and discuss limitations and future challenges.

Encapsulated plant growth regulators and associative microorganisms: Nature-based solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change on plants.

Abstract
Over the past decades, the atmospheric CO2 concentration and global average temperature have been increasing, and this trend is projected to soon become more severe. This scenario of climate change intensifies abiotic stress factors (such as drought, flooding, salinity, and ultraviolet radiation) that threaten forest and associated ecosystems as well as crop production. These factors can negatively affect plant growth and development with a consequent reduction in plant biomass accumulation and yield, in addition to increasing plant susceptibility to biotic stresses. Recently, biostimulants have become a hotspot as an effective and sustainable alternative to alleviate the negative effects of stresses on plants. However, the majority of biostimulants have poor stability under environmental conditions, which leads to premature degradation, shortening their biological activity. To solve these bottlenecks, micro- and nano-based formulations containing biostimulant molecules and/or microorganisms are gaining attention, as they demonstrate several advantages over their conventional formulations. In this review, we focus on the encapsulation of plant growth regulators and plant associative microorganisms as a strategy to boost their application for plant protection against abiotic stresses. We also address the potential limitations and challenges faced for the implementation of this technology, as well as possibilities regarding future research.

Abstract
The population growth tendency leads to an increase in demand for food products, and in particular, products obtained from the processing of plants. However, there are issues of biotic and abiotic stresses that can significantly reduce crop yields and escalate the food crisis. Therefore, in recent years, the development of new methods of plant protection became an important task. One of the most promising ways to protect plants is to treat them with various phytohormones. Salicylic acid (SA) is one of the regulators of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) signaling pathways. These mechanisms are able to protect plants from biotic and abiotic stresses by increasing the expression of genes that encode antioxidant enzymes. However, salicylic acid in high doses can act as an antagonist and have the negative rebound effect of inhibition of plant growth and development. To maintain optimal SA concentrations in the long term, it is necessary to develop systems for the delivery and slow release of SA in plants. The purpose of this review is to summarize and study methods of delivery and controlled release of SA in a plant. Various carriers-based nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized from both organic and inorganic compounds, their chemical structure, impacts on plants, advantages, and disadvantages are comprehensively discussed. The mechanisms of controlled release of SA and the effects of the use of the considered composites on the growth and development of plants are also described. The present review will be helpful to design or fabricate NPs and NPs-based delivery systems for salicylic acid-controlled release and better understating of the mechanism of SA-NPs interaction to alleviate stress on plants.

Abstract
Phytopathogen, pest, weed, and nutrient deficiency cause severe losses to global crop yields every year. As the core engine, agrochemicals drive the continuous development of modern agriculture to meet the demand for agricultural productivity and increase the environmental burden due to inefficient use. With new advances in nanotechnology, introducing nanomaterials into agriculture to realize agrochemical accurate and targeted delivery has brought new opportunities to support the sustainable development of green agriculture. Metal-Organic frameworks (MOFs), which weave metal ions/clusters and organic ligands into porous frameworks, have exhibited significant advantages in constructing biotic/abiotic stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms for controlled agrochemical delivery. This review emphasizes the recent developments of MOF-based nanoplatforms for crop protection, including phytopathogen, pest, and weed control, and crop growth promotion, including fertilizer/plant hormone delivery. Finally, forward-looking perspectives and challenges on MOF-based nanoplatforms for future applications in crop protection and growth promotion are also discussed.

Abstract
A multifunctional nanomaterials-based agrochemical delivery system could supply a powerful tool for the efficient use of pesticides. Redox-responsive carriers as novel delivery systems of pesticide application in agriculture could promote the pest control and reduce plant pesticide residues due to the controllable release of agrochemicals. Herein, neonicotinoid insecticide acetamiprid (Ace) was encapsulated with decanethiol in a mesoporous silica nanocarrier pesticide delivery system for a nanopesticide Ace@MSN-SS-C10. The Ace@MSN-SS-C10 had redox-responsive sustained release behavior triggered by glutathione (GSH). Moreover, the Ace@MSN-SS-C10 possessed excellent wettability, adhesion performance, stability, and biosafety. Greenhouse experiments showed that foliar spraying 1.5 mg Ace@MSN-SS-C10 per plant reduced the populations of adult and juvenile aphids (Aphis craccivora Koch) on Vicia faba L. after 5 days of aphid infestation by 98.7 % and 99.3 %, respectively. Notably, the leaf final Ace residue (0.32 ± 0.004 mg/kg) of Ace@MSN-SS-C10 application at the dose of 1.5 mg/plant after 5 days of aphid infestation was lower than the international Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) maximum residue limits (0.4 mg·kg-1) or much lower (24.87-folds decrease) than those treated with conventional Ace (40 % acetamiprid water dispersible granule). Altogether, this GSH-dependent redox-responsive delivery system for loading acetamiprid can develop as an efficient and environmentally-friendly nanopesticide to control aphids in sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a promising means for development of sustainable agriculture while the study of nanoparticle-mediated plant disease resistance is still in its primary stage. Nanotechnology has shown great promise in regulating: the content of secondary metabolites, inducing disease resistance genes, delivering hormones, delivering biomolecules (such as: nucleotides, proteins, and activators), and obtaining transgenic plants to resist plant diseases. In this review, we conclude its versatility and applicability in disease management strategies and diagnostics and as molecular tools. With the advent of new biotechnologies (e.g. de novo regeneration, CRISPR/Cas9, and GRF4-GIF1 fusion protein), we discuss the potential of nanoparticles as an optimal platform to deliver biomolecules to plants for genetic engineering. In order to ensure the safe use and social acceptance of plant nanoparticle technology, its adverse effects are discussed, including the risk of transferring nanoparticles through the food chain.

Abstract
Integrating toxic fungicide into a functional stimuli-responsive nanosystem can effectively improve the fungus control specificity and reduce the effect on non-target organisms. We report here a redox and cellulase dual-responsive multifunctional nanoparticle based on bimodal mesoporous silica (BMMs) to deliver prochloraz (Pro) for the smart management of wilt disease (Pro-AC-SS-BMMs, known as P-ASB). The surface of the nanocarrier was modified with an aminosilane coupling agent, and Pro was encapsulated by physical adsorption using 2,2'-dithiodiacetic acid as a smart bridge and disulfide (SS) cross-linked aminocellulose (AC) as gatekeepers. P-ASB nanoparticles (NPs) had a spherical structure, and the size was 531.2 ± 4.9 nm. The loading rate of Pro was 28.5%, and the NPs possessed excellent redox/cellulase dual-responsive release characteristics in the presence of glutathione (GSH) and cellulase. The nanocarrier could effectively protect Pro against photodegradation and had better foliar wettability than the Pro technical. Fluorescence tracer results showed that the nanocarriers were taken up and activated by the mycelium. P-ASB NPs had better control efficacy against Rhizoctonia solani and had no significant toxicity to cells and bacteria. This study provides a new strategy for enhancing the environmental protection and promoting the development of green agriculture.

Abstract
Effective pest management for enhanced crop output is one of the primary goals of establishing sustainable agricultural practices in the world. Pesticides are critical in preventing biological disasters, ensuring crop productivity, and fostering sustainable agricultural production growth. Studies showed that crops are unable to properly utilize pesticides because of several limiting factors, such as leaching and bioconversion, thereby damaging ecosystems and human health. In recent years, stimuli-responsive systems for pesticides delivery (SRSP) by nanotechnology demonstrated excellent promise in enhancing the effectiveness and safety of pesticides. SRSP are being developed with the goal of delivering precise amounts of active substances in response to biological needs and environmental factors. An in-depth analysis of carrier materials, design fundamentals, and classification of SRSP were provided. The adhesion of SRSP to crop tissue, absorption, translocation in and within plants, mobility in the soil, and toxicity were also discussed. The problems and shortcomings that need be resolved to accelerate the actual deployment of SRSP were highlighted in this review.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has been widely used in the field of pesticides. Integration of nano-pesticides and carbon dot fluorescence can fully utilize the potential for high admission of pesticides on leaves and convenience observation of its distribution and transport in the tissues. In the present study, a fluorescent mesoporous nanosilica with double hollow shells for loading imidacloprid (Im@FL-MSNs) was designed and synthesized. The physical and chemical properties of the imidacloprid nanocarriers were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N2 adsorption/desorption. When the mass ratio of FL MSNs to imidacloprid is 6:5, Im@FL-MSNs exhibits good fluorescence properties, high loading efficiency (∼30%), great slow-release performance as well as pH controllability. Besides, Im@FL-MSNs can improve the ability of imidacloprid to adhere on the leaf surface of bok choy (Initial contact angled is greater than 80°). Importantly, Im@FL-MSNs did not reduce the biological activity of imidacloprid (LC50 (95% CI) = 1.43 mg/L). It was able to visually study the absorption and distribution of imidacloprid in bok choy plants, and provide theoretical and technical guidance for pesticide reduction.

Abstract
The low utilization efficiency of pesticides exerts an adverse impact on the environment and human health. Polymer-related controlled-release nanosized pesticide systems provide a promising and efficient way to overcome the problem. In this work, a biodegradable and light-responsive amphiphilic polymer was synthesized via 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine-promoted polyesterification under mild conditions (low temperature, no vacuum, and no inert gas protection). We used this polymer to fabricate a light-triggered controlled-release nanosized pesticide system. The herbicide, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), was selected as a model drug to show its potential as a controlled-release pesticide system. It was found that the 2,4-D-loaded polymeric nanoparticles were stable without the treatment of UV, while the release rate of 2,4-D from the nanoparticles gradually increased after treatment with UV light. Pot trial showed that the 2,4-D-loaded polymer nanoparticles showed a good herbicidal effect. Finally, toxicity studies suggested that the polymer can reduce toxicity to nontarget organisms.

Abstract
Driven by the possibility of precise transformational change in nutrient-enrichment technology to meet global food demand, advanced nutrient delivery strategies have emerged to pave the path toward success for nutrient enrichment in edible parts of crops through bioderived nanocarriers with increased productivity. Slow and controlled release of nutrient carrier materials influences the nutrient delivery rate in soil and in the edible parts of crops with a sluggish nutrient delivery to enhance their availability in roots by minimizing nutrient loss. With a limited understanding of the nutrient delivery mechanism in soil and the edible parts of crops, it is envisaged to introduce nutrient-enrichment technology for nutrient delivery that minimizes environmental impact due to its biodegradable nature. This article attempts to analyze the possible role of the cellulose matrix for nutrient release and the role of cellulose nanocomposites and nanofibers. We have proposed a few cellulose derived biofortificant materials as nutrient carriers, such as (1) nanofibers, (2) polymer-nanocellulose-clay composites, (3) silk-fibroin derived nanocarriers, and (4) carboxymethyl cellulose. An effort is undertaken to describe the research need by linking a biopolymer derived nanocarrier for crop growth regulation and experimental nitrogen release analysis. We have finally provided a perspective on cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) for microcage based nutrient loading ability. This article aims to explain why biopolymer derived nutrient carriers are the alternative candidate for alleviating nutrient deficiency challenges which are involved in focusing the nutrient delivery profile of biopolymers and promising biofortification of crops.

Abstract
Pesticides play an important role in pest control. However, they can be limited due to low utilization efficiency, causing substantial losses to the environment and ecological damage. Nanotechnology is an active area of research regarding encapsulation of pesticides for sustainable pest control. Here, we developed intelligent formulations of avermectin (Av) quaternary ammonium chitosan surfactant (QACS) nanocapsules (i.e., Av-Th@QACS) with on-demand controlled release properties, toward ambient temperature and maximal synergistic biological activity of Av and QACS. The Av-Th@QACS regulated the quantity of pesticide release in accordance with the ambient temperature changes and, insofar as this release is a means of responding to variations in pest populations, maximized the synergistic activity. In addition, the Av-Th@QACS were highly adhesive to crop leaves as a result of the prolonged retention time on the crop leaves. Therefore, Av-Th@QACS exhibited greater control against aphids at 35 °C than at 15 and 25 °C. Compared with commercial formulations, Av-Th@QACS was more toxic at 35 °C and less toxic at 15 °C. Thus, researchers can apply Av-Th@QACS as intelligent nanopesticides with an on-demand, controlled release and synergistic biological activity and, in so doing, prolong pesticide duration and improve the utilization efficiency.

Abstract
In this study, a filter-like blocking system based on MSN with small gatekeeper 5- mercapto-2 nitrobenzoic acid (MNBA) has developed. The MNBA grafted nanoparticle MSN-SS-MNBA shows excellent blocking performance with negligible leakage when loaded with doxorubicin (DOX), and the release profiles illustrate stimuli-responsive property when triggered by GSH. Viability experiments indicate that MSN-SS-MNBA has obvious inhibition for both Hela cells and HCT116 cells, while showing good biocompatibility for L929 cells, which suggests that the modified MNBA has a synergistic effect on cancer cells-killing. Since the small grafted molecule MNBA cannot block the channels of MSN via self-assembly, a filter-like blocking model that the loaded drug bridged with modified MNBA to fulfill the blocking process is proposed. The novel blocking strategy provides a new possible way for pore blocking, and the small nanovalve can be used as synergistic molecule for cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stimuli-responsive pesticide controlled release system provides a new strategy for the development of high-efficiency pesticides formulation. RESULTS In this article, we report a novel polydopamine surface modified MXene-Ti3 C2 Tx nanocarrier for pesticide delivery and plant protection. Polydopamine modified Ti3 C2 Tx (PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx ) nanocarrier was prepared by biomimetic self-polymerization of dopamine on the surface of Ti3 C2 Tx . A typical pesticide, emamectin benzoate (EB), was loaded on PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx through physisorption process, with a high pesticide loading rate of 45.37%. PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx exhibited excellent photothermal conversion effect (η = 34.5%). Under the irradiation of near-infrared (NIR) laser, EB would sustained release from PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx nanocarrier to surrounding medium. Compared with free EB, EB@PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx exhibited prolonged persistence period, which can keep antipest activity at 14 days post spraying. In addition, PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx nanocarrier and EB@PDA@Ti3 C2 Tx nanoformulation are of good safety, showing no side effect to the seed germination and seedling growth. CONCLUSION This research developed a novel nanocarrier for water-insoluble pesticide delivery, realizing NIR-responsive controlled release and sustained antipest activity.

Abstract
The indiscriminate use of pesticides leads to irreparable damage to the ecosystem, which motivates for sustainable alternatives like pheromone-assisted pest management. The tomato pinworm Tuta absoluta is a major threat to tomato cultivation. Moreover, its green management technology uses a pheromone trap that has a short field life. To overcome this problem, a pheromone composite with graphene oxide (GO) and amine-modified graphene oxide (AGO) that can extend the diffusion path has been developed. The composite stimulates an effective electrophysiological response in the antenna, which results in trapping of a significantly higher number of insects as compared to the commercial septa, thus qualifying it for field evaluation. Compared to AGO, the GO composite has pheromones assembled into a multilayer, which increases the pheromone diffusion path. This in turn resulted in the extension of the pheromone life that proportionally increased the pest trapped. This technique will be beneficial to farmers as they have longer field efficacy to keep the pest damage low in an environmentally friendly manner.

Abstract
Plant cell culture systems have become an attractive and sustainable approach to produce high-value and commercially significant metabolites under controlled conditions. Strategies involving elicitor supplementation into plant cell culture media are employed to mimic natural conditions for increasing the metabolite yield. Studies on nanoparticles (NPs) that have investigated elicitation of specialized metabolism have shown the potential of NPs to be a substitute for biotic elicitors such as phytohormones and microbial extracts. Customizable physicochemical characteristics allow the design of monodispersed-, stimulus-responsive-, and hormone-carrying-NPs of precise geometries to enhance their elicitation capabilities based on target metabolite/plant cell culture type. We contextualize advances in NP-mediated elicitation, especially stimulation of specialized metabolic pathways, the underlying mechanisms, impacts on gene regulation, and NP-associated cytotoxicity. The novelty of the concept lies in unleashing the potential of designer NPs to enhance yield, harness metabolites, and transform nanoelicitation from exploratory investigations to a commercially viable strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Environmental stimuli-responsive release is one important way to reduce the dosage of pesticide, increase the usage efficiency and improve environmental compatibility. RESULTS On this basis, we synthesized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and modified them to develop a thermosensitive pesticide controlled release formulation (CRF). In this study, MSNs prepared by the sol-gel method were used as the core, poly (N-IsoPropylAcrylaMide) [P (NIPAM-MAA)] was used as the shell, and buprofezin (Bup) was loaded by adsorption. The prepared Bup@MSNs@P(NIPAM-MAA) could effectively prevent the degradation of buprofezin under UV light and exhibited excellent adhesion to rice leaves. The bioassay results showed that the mortality of Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) treated by Bup@MSNs@P(NIPAM-MAA) was positively correlated with temperature, resulting mainly from the change of release amount of buprofezin caused by temperature variation. Bup@MSNs@P(NIPAM-MAA) had long duration (20 days) for controlling N. lugens, and did not hinder the growth of rice. Meanwhile, Bup@MSNs@P(NIPAM-MAA) had low toxicity to zebrafish and human pneumonocyte BEAS-2B cells. CONCLUSION This novel thermosensitive pesticide CRF can be applied widely to other insecticides, thus greatly promoting the development of intelligent pesticide formulations. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials afford researchers an opportunity to synthesize controlled-release carriers with various potential applications, especially for reducing the abuse of chemical reagents in farmland soil. To enhance the efficiency of agrochemical utilization, redox- and enzyme-responsive macrospheres were prepared by self-assembling β-cyclodextrin-modified zeolite and ferrocenecarboxylic acid (FcA)-grafted carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis revealed that pores of zeolite were sealed by the surface coupling of FcA-modified CMC via the formation of an inclusion complex. Salicylic acid (SA) was loaded as a model agrochemical. The release of SA from macrospheres could be triggered in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (oxidant) and cellulase (enzyme); and the corresponding release percentages, 85.2 and 80.4%, were much higher than those of the control sample without responsive groups in water (12.6%) after 12 h. A release kinetic study showed that cellulase could promote carrier dissolution more effectively than the oxidant. The results demonstrate that the dual-responsive macrospheres are promising as a smart and effective carrier for the controlled release of agrochemicals.

Abstract
A novel hybrid drug carrier has been designed, taking N-doped mesoporous carbon (NMCS) as the core and PEG-PEI as the outer shell. NMCS was functionalized with a photocleavable nitrobenzyl-based linker following a click reaction. Gemcitabine was loaded into NMCS prior to the functionalization via π-π stacking interactions. NIR and the pH-responsive behavior of NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI bestow the multifunctional drug carrier with the controlled release of gemcitabine triggered by dual stimuli. The NMCS core upconverts NIR light to UV, which is absorbed by a photosensitive molecular gate and results in its cleavage and drug release. Further, NMCS converts NIR to heat, which deforms the outside polymer shell, thus triggering the drug release process. The release can be promptly arrested if the NIR source is switched off. A promising gemcitabine release of 75% has been achieved within 24 h under the dual stimuli of pH and temperature. NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI produced reactive oxygen species (ROS), which were verified in FaDu cells using flow cytometry. In vitro experiments showed that the NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI-GEM hybrid particle can induce synergistic therapeutic effects in FADU cells when exposed to the NIR light.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pesticide residue and its poor utilization remains problematic in agricultural development. To address the issue, a nano-pesticide has been developed by incorporating pesticide acetamiprid in porous silica nanoparticles. RESULTS This nano-pesticide had an acetamiprid loading content of 354.01 mg g-1. Testing LC50 value against tea aphids of the commercial preparation was three times that of the nano-pesticide. In tea seedlings (Camellia sinensis L.), acetamiprid was transported upward from the stem to the young leaves. On day 30, the average retained concentrations in tea leaves treated with the commercial preparation were about 1.3 times of that in the nano-pesticide preparation. The residual concentrations of dimethyl-acetamiprid in leaves for plants treated with the commercial preparation were about 1.1 times of that in the nano-pesticide preparation. Untargeted metabolomics of by LC-MS on the young leaves of tea seedlings under nano-pesticide and commercial pesticide treatments showed significant numbers of differentially expressed metabolites (P < 0.05 and VIP > 1). Between the nano-pesticide treatment group and the commercial preparation treatment group there were 196 differentially expressed metabolites 2 h after treatment, 200 (7th day), 207 (21st day), and 201 (30th day) in negative ion mode, and 294 (2nd h), 356 (7th day), and 286 (30th day) in positive ion mode. Preliminary identification showed that the major differentially expressed metabolites were glutamic acid, salicylic acid, p-coumaric acid, ribonic acid, glutamine, naringenin diglucoside, sanguiin H4, PG (34:2) and epiafzelechin. CONCLUSIONS This work demonstrated that our nano-pesticide outperformed the conventional pesticide acetamiprid in terms of insecticidal activity and pesticide residue, and the absorption, transportation and metabolism of nano-pesticide in tea plant were different, which pave a new pathway for pest control in agricultural sector.

Abstract
The design of smart drug delivery carriers has recently attracted great attention in the biomedical field. Smart carriers can specifically respond to physical and chemical changes in their environment, such as temperature, photoirradiation, ultrasound, magnetic field, pH, redox species, and biomolecules. This review summarizes recent advances in the integration of porous particles and stimuli-responsive gatekeepers for effective drug delivery. Their unique structural properties play an important role in facilitating the diffusion of drug molecules and cell attachment. Various techniques for fabricating porous materials, with their major advantages and limitations, are summarized. Smart gatekeepers provide advanced functions such as "open-close" switching by functionalized stimuli-responsive polymers on a particle's pores. These controlled delivery systems enable drugs to be targeted at specific rates, time programs, and sites of the human body. The gate structures, gating mechanisms, and controlled release mechanisms of each trigger are detailed. Current ongoing research and future trends in targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine applications are highlighted.

Abstract
Pollution related to pesticides has become a global problem due to their low utilization and non-targeting application, and nanotechnology has shown great potential in promoting sustainable agriculture. Nowadays, mesoporous silica-based nanomaterials have garnered immense attention for improving the efficacy and safety of pesticides due to their distinctive advantages of low toxicity, high thermal and chemical stability, and particularly size tunability and versatile functionality. Based on the introduction of the structure and synthesis of different types of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), the multiple roles of mesoporous silica in safe pesticide application using nanotechnology are discussed in this Review: (i) as nanocarrier for sustained/controlled delivery of pesticides, (ii) as adsorbent for enrichment or removal of pesticides in aqueous media, (iii) as support of catalysts for degradation of pesticide contaminants, and (iv) as support of sensors for detection of pesticides. Several scientific issues, strategies, and mechanisms regarding the application of MSNs in the pesticide field are presented, with their future directions discussed in terms of their environmental risk assessment, in-depth mechanism exploration, and cost-benefit consideration for their continuous development. This Review will provide critical information to related researchers and may open up their minds to develop new advances in pesticide application.

Abstract
The pre-mature release of therapeutic cargos in the bloodstream or off-target sites is a major hurdle in drug delivery. However, stimuli-specific drug release responses are capable of providing greater control over the cargo release. Herein, various types of nanocarriers have been employed for such applications. Among various types of nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have several attractive characteristics, such as high loading capacity, biocompatibility, small size, porous structure, high surface area, tunable pore size and ease of functionalization of the external and internal surfaces, which facilitates the entrapment and development of stimuli-dependent release of drugs. MSNPs could be modified with such stimuli-responsive entities like nucleic acid, peptides, polymers, organic molecules, etc., to prevent pre-mature cargo release, improving the therapeutic outcome. This controlled drug release system could be modulated to function upon extracellular or intracellular specific stimuli, including pH, enzyme, glucose, glutathione, light, temperature, etc., and thus provide minimal side effects at non-target sites. This system has great potential applications for the targeted delivery of therapeutics to treat clinically challenging diseases like cancer. This review summarizes the synthesis and design of stimuli-responsive release strategies of MSNP-based drug delivery systems along with investigations in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Agricultural chemicals have been widely utilized to manage pests, weeds, and plant pathogens for maximizing crop yields. However, the excessive use of these organic substances to compensate their instability in the environment has caused severe environmental consequences, threatened human health, and consumed enormous economic costs. In order to improve the utilization efficiency of these agricultural chemicals, one strategy that attracted researchers is to design novel eco-friendly nanoplatforms. To date, numerous advanced nanoplatforms with functional components have been applied in the agricultural field, such as silica-based materials for pesticides delivery, metal/metal oxide nanoparticles for pesticides/mycotoxins detection, and carbon nanoparticles for fertilizers delivery. In this review, the synthesis, applications, and mechanisms of recent eco-friendly nanoplatforms in the agricultural field, including pesticides and mycotoxins on-site detection, phytopathogen inactivation, pest control, and crops growth regulation for guaranteeing food security, enhancing the utilization efficiency of agricultural chemicals and increasing crop yields are highlighted. The review also stimulates new thinking for improving the existing agricultural technologies, protecting crops from biotic and abiotic stress, alleviating the global food crisis, and ensuring food security. In addition, the challenges to overcome the constrained applications of functional nanoplatforms in the agricultural field are also discussed.

Abstract
Nanopesticides were selected as one of the top 10 emerging technologies in chemistry that will change our world in 2019. Facile, smart, and degradable metal-organic framework MIL-101(FeIII) nanopesticides gated with FeIII-tannic acid (TA) networks are created using a universal strategy. The capping of the FeIII-TA network gatekeepers is instinctively oriented by the coordinatively unsaturated FeIII sites on the surfaces of the MIL-101(FeIII) nanocarriers; thus, their combination is perfectly matched. This is the first example that one smart gated nanoparticle is integrated with seven stimuli-responsive performances to meet the diverse controlled release of encapsulated cargos by the disassembly of the gatekeepers and/or the degradation of the nanocarriers. More importantly, each of the seven stimuli (acidic/alkaline pH, H2O2, glutathione, phosphates, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and near-infrared light of sunlight) is closely related to the biological and natural environments of crops, and the biocompatible nanocarriers are eventually degraded against bioaccumulation even if the nanopesticides enter crops. These mechanisms of the stimuli-responsive controlled release are identified and clearly elaborated. It is found that the natural polyphenol can improve the wettability of aqueous droplets of nanopesticides on model hydrophobic foliage for pesticide adhesion and retention. The nanopesticides encapsulated with the fungicide tebuconazole show high fungicidal activities against pathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani (rice sheath blight) and Fusarium graminearum (wheat head blight); good safety on seed germination, seedling emergence, and plant height of wheat by seed dressing; and satisfactory control efficacy in wheat powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis in the greenhouse. The nanopesticides have potential applications in the field for high quality and yield of agricultural production.

C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 125:112064. [PMID: 33965097 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Poor safety and effectiveness is an outstanding challenge in the preparation of drug delivery systems (DDS) for cancer treatment. The pursuit of the high curative effect will inevitably increase the risk of adverse side effects. Herein, a bio-safe DDS was constructed by combining the advantages of functional zein and Au doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Au@SiO2) to achieve chemo-photothermal therapy. The cRGD functionalized zein (cRGD-Zein) was coated on the surface of Au@SiO2 which effectively avoided premature leakage of paclitaxel and realized sustained drug release. Meanwhile, the high hemolysis rate (107%) of Au@SiO2 had been significantly reduced to 4%. The anti-hemolysis mechanism of functionalized zein was explored to give a deeper understanding of the interaction between nanoparticles and RBCs. The results showed that the functional zein would change the protein conformation during the interaction with Au@SiO2 to protect the RBCs from the damage of Au@SiO2. And the release rate of hemoglobin was limited by the size of RBCs membrane cracks with approximately 40 nm in width and 470 nm in length. The cell cytotoxicity and uptake assays showed that the prepared DDS exhibited low tumour cell viability (35%) and enhanced uptake performance (99.3%). This work suggested that the prepared nanoparticles could serve as a promising carrier to achieve safe and efficacious tumour therapy.

Abstract
Nanopesticides are selected as one of ten chemical innovations that will change our world. Carboxylated porous carbon nanoparticles (PCNs) were used to encapsulate water-insoluble pesticides and subsequently capped with chitosan (CS) to prepare the CS-gated PCN (PCN@CS) nanopesticides for the controlled release of pesticides in response to acidic pH and elevated temperature with good fungicidal efficacy. To resolve the issue of gastrointestinal absorption of PQ upon ingestion of PQ formulation, it is an innovative strategy to select the carboxylated PCNs as the paraquat (PQ) nanocarriers to inhibit PQ release in the gastrointestinal tract from the origin. The PQ-loaded PCN@CS nanoherbicides showed very low cytotoxicity to human normal cells and high survival rate in mice because the strong π-π interactions between the electron-deficient PQ and the electron-rich PCNs almost inhibited the release of PQ at both acidic and alkaline pH values. The controlled release of PQ from the nanoherbicides was realized at elevated temperatures owing to the weakening of the strong π-π interactions, aiming to eliminate weeds via the photothermal effect of PCNs under natural sunlight. The user-safe PCN-based PQ formulation can inhibit PQ release in the gastrointestinal tract and keep the PQ herbicidal efficacy in the practical application.

Abstract
Controlled pesticide release in response to environmental stimuli by encapsulating pesticide in carrier is a feasible approach to improve the effective utilization rate. Here, a temperature-responsive release microcapsule loaded with chlorpyrifos (CPF@CM) was prepared from n-hexadecane-in-water emulsions via interfacial polymerization. The microcapsule was consisted of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) as the shell wall material and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) as the crosslinker. The prepared CPF@CM had pesticide-loading efficiency (33.1 wt%) and favorable adhesion on the surface of cucumber and peanut foliage compared with conventional formulation. Additionally, CPF@CM could protect chlorpyrifos against photodegradation effectively. The in vitro release test showed that microcapsule had adjustable controlled-release characteristics with the change in temperature based on phase transition of the n-hexadecane core. Bioassay studies showed that control efficacy of CPF@CM microcapsule against P. xylostella was positively correlated with temperature because of temperature-induced changes in release rate. The acute toxicity of CPF@CM to zebrafish was reduced more than 5-fold compared with that of CPF technical. These results indicated that the microcapsule release system has great potential in the development of an effective and environmentally friendly pesticide formulation.

Abstract
Our agriculture is threatened by climate change and the depletion of resources and biodiversity. A new agriculture revolution is needed in order to increase the production of crops and ensure the quality and safety of food, in a sustainable way. Nanotechnology can contribute to the sustainability of agriculture. Seed nano-priming is an efficient process that can change seed metabolism and signaling pathways, affecting not only germination and seedling establishment but also the entire plant lifecycle. Studies have shown various benefits of using seed nano-priming, such as improved plant growth and development, increased productivity, and a better nutritional quality of food. Nano-priming modulates biochemical pathways and the balance between reactive oxygen species and plant growth hormones, resulting in the promotion of stress and diseases resistance outcoming in the reduction of pesticides and fertilizers. The present review provides an overview of advances in the field, showing the challenges and possibilities concerning the use of nanotechnology in seed nano-priming, as a contribution to sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract
Classical plant uptake is limited to hydrophilic or water-dispersible material. Therefore, in order to test the uptake behaviour of hydrophobic particles, here, we tested the fate of hydrophobic particles (oleylamine coated Cu2-xSe NPs (CS@OA)) in comparison to hydrophilic particles (chitosan-coated Cu2-xSe NPs (CS@CH)) by treatment on the plant roots. Surprisingly, hydrophobic CS@OA NPs have been found to be ~ 1.3 times more efficient than hydrophilic CS@CH NPs in tomato plant root penetration. An atomic force microscopy (AFM) adhesion force experiment confirms that hydrophobic NPs experience non-spontaneous yet energetically favorable root trapping and penetration. Further, a relative difference in the hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic NPs movement from roots to shoots has been observed and found related to the change in protein corona as identified by two dimensional-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) analysis. Finally, the toxicity assays at the give concentration showed that Cu2-xSe NPs lead to non-significant toxicity as compared to control. This technology may find an advantage in fertilizer application.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of 50 nm diameter particle size with a pore size of approximately 14.7 nm were functionalized with amino groups (Am-MSNs) and the effects of exposure to these positively charged Am-MSNs on each of the life cycle stages of Arabidopsis thaliana were investigated. After growth in half strength MS medium amended with Am-MSNs (0-100 μg/mL) for 7 and 14 days, seed germination rate and seedling growth were significantly increased compared with untreated controls. The seedlings were then transferred to soil and irrigated with Am-MSNs solutions every 3 days until seed harvesting. After four weeks growth in soil, Am-MSNs treated plants showed up-regulation of chlorophyll and carotenoid synthesis-related genes, an increase in the content of photosynthetic pigments and an amplification of plant photosynthetic capacity. All these changes in plants were closely correlated with greater vegetative growth and higher seed yield. In all the experiments, 20 and 50 μg/mL of Am-MSNs were found to be more effective with respect to other treatments, while Am-MSNs at the highest level of 100 μg/mL did not result in oxidative stress or cell membrane damage in the exposed plants. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report evaluating both physiological and molecular responses following exposure to plants of these specific Am-MSNs throughout their whole life cycle. Overall, these findings indicate that following exposure Am-MSNs play a major role in the increase in seed germination, biomass, photosynthetic pigments, photosynthetic capacity and seed yield in A. thaliana.

Abstract
This work focused on designing a novel redox-responsive nanocarrier synthesized from carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin-modified nanosilica, which could load and release plant hormones, such as salicylic acid (SA), in plant cells. When the SA-loaded nanoparticles cross the plant cell wall, the disulfide bond can be broken to form sulfhydryl groups under the action of reduced glutathione (GSH), thus releasing SA. Meanwhile, the resulting thiol groups exhibited strong affinity toward several heavy metal ions, mercury ions in particular, thus playing a role similar to phytochelatins for detoxification. The results of SA release in vitro proved that the release proceeded much faster in GSH-rich than in GSH-free environments. The adsorption behaviors of the redox-responsive nanoparticles toward heavy metal ions, after phytohormones release, were systematically investigated. Moreover, the synergetic effects on sustained release and metal ion capture enable the redox-responsive cyclodextrin-modified silica to be an effective and dual-functional nanocarrier that has great potential for agricultural applications.

Abstract
It is highly desirable to construct stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for improving pesticides targeting and preventing the pesticides premature release. In this work, a novel redox and α-amylase dual stimuli-responsive pesticide delivery system was established by bonding functionalized starch with biodegradable disulfide-bond-bridged mesoporous silica nanoparticles which loaded with avermectin (avermectin@MSNs-ss-starch nanoparticles). The results demonstrated that the loading capacity of avermectin@MSNs-ss-starch nanoparticles for avermectin was approximately 9.3 %. The starch attached covalently on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles could protect avermectin from photodegradation and prevent premature release of active ingredient. Meanwhile, the coated starch and disulfide-bridged structure of nanoparticles could be decomposed and consequently release of the avermectin on demand when nanoparticles were metabolized by glutathione and α-amylase in insects. The bioactivity survey confirmed that avermectin@MSNs-ss-starch nanoparticles had a longer duration in controlling Plutella xylostella larvae compared to avermectin emulsifiable concentrate. In consideration of the superior insecticidal activity and free of toxic organic solvent, this target-specific pesticide release system has promising potential in pest management.

Abstract
As the world is striving hard towards sustainable agricultural practices for a better tomorrow, one of the primary focuses is on effective pest management for enhanced crop productivity. Despite newer and potent chemicals as pesticides, there are still substantial crop losses, and if by any means this loss can be tackled; it will alleviate unwanted excessive use of chemical pesticides. Scientific surveys have already established that pesticides are not being utilized by the crops completely rather a significant amount remains unused due to various limiting factors such as leaching and bioconversion, etc., resulting in an adverse effect on human health and ecosystems. Concerted efforts from scientific diaspora toward newer and innovative strategies are already showing promise, and one such viable approach is controlled release systems (CRS) of pesticides. Moreover, to bring these smart formulations within the domain of current pesticide regulatory framework is still under debate. It is thus, paramount to discuss the pros and cons of this new technology vis-à-vis the conventional agrarian methods. This review deliberates on the developmental updates in this innovative field from the past decades and also appraises the challenges encumbered. Additionally, critical information and the foreseeable research gaps in this emerging area are highlighted.

Abstract
The main challenges in drug delivery systems are to protect, transport and release biologically active compounds at the right time in a safe and reproducible manner, usually at a specific target site. In the past, drug nano-carriers have contributed to the development of precision medicine and to a lesser extent have focused on its inroads in agriculture. The concept of engineered nano-carriers may be a promising route to address confounding challenges in agriculture that could perhaps lead to an increase in crop production while reducing the environmental impact associated with crop protection and food production. The main objective of this review is to contrast the advantages and disadvantages of different types of nanoparticles and nano-carriers currently used in the biomedical field along with their fabrication methods to discuss the potential use of these technologies at a larger scale in agriculture. Here we explain what is the problem that nano-delivery systems intent to solve as a technological platform and describe the benefits this technology has brought to medicine. Also here we highlight the potential drawbacks that this technology may face during its translation to agricultural applications, based on the lessons learned so far from its use for biomedical purposes. We discuss not only the characteristics of an ideal nano-delivery system, but also the potential constraints regarding the fabrication including technical, environmental, and legal aspects. A key motivation is to evaluate the potential use of these systems in agriculture, especially in the area of plant breeding, growth promotion, disease control, and post-harvest quality control. Further, we highlight the importance of a rational design of nano-carriers and identify current research gaps to enable scale-up relevant to applications in the treatment of plant diseases, controlled release of fertilizers, and plant breeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Porous micro- and nanoparticles have the capacity to encapsulate a large quantity of therapeutics, making them promising delivery vehicles for a variety of applications. This review aims to highlight the latest development of inorganic and hybrid (inorganic/ organic) particles for drug delivery with an additional emphasis on combatting drug resistant cancer. We go one step further and discuss delivery applications beyond medicinal delivery, as there is generally a translation from medicinal delivery to botanic delivery after a short lag time. METHODS We undertook a search of relevant peer-reviewed publications. The quality of the relevant papers was appraised using standard tools. The characteristics of the papers are described herein, and the relevant material and therapeutic properties are discussed. RESULTS We discuss 4 classes of porous particles in terms of drug delivery and theranostics. We specifically focus on silica, calcium carbonate, metal-phenolic network, and metalorganic framework particles. Other relevant biomedically relevant applications are discussed and we highlight outstanding therapeutic results in the relevant literature. CONCLUSION The findings of this review confirm the importance of studying and utilizing porous particles for therapeutic delivery. Moreover, we show that the properties of porous particles that make them promising for medicinal drug delivery also make them promising candidates for agro-industrial applications.

Abstract
The decline in populations of insect pollinators is a global concern. While multiple factors are implicated, there is uncertainty surrounding the contribution of certain groups of pesticides to losses in wild and managed bees. Nanotechnology-based pesticides (NBPs) are formulations based on multiple particle sizes and types. By packaging active ingredients in engineered particles, NBPs offer many benefits and novel functions, but may also exhibit different properties in the environment when compared with older pesticide formulations. These new properties raise questions about the environmental disposition and fate of NBPs and their exposure to pollinators. Pollinators such as honey bees have evolved structural adaptations to collect pollen, but also inadvertently gather other types of environmental particles which may accumulate in hive materials. Knowledge of the interaction between pollinators, NBPs, and other types of particles is needed to better understand their exposure to pesticides, and essential for characterizing risk from diverse environmental contaminants. The present review discusses the properties, benefits and types of nanotechnology-based pesticides, the propensity of bees to collect such particles and potential impacts on bee pollinators.

Abstract
Treatment of plants with a variety of abiotic and biotic inducers causes induced resistance to pathogen attack. In this study, the effect of four resistance inducers on plant diseases caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi was screened in vivo initially by using lupin, a susceptible model plant. Lupin pretreated with 0.5 mM salicylic acid (SA) showed effective resistance against P. cinnamomi with restricted lesions. Then, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with particle size around 20 nm and approximate pore size of 3.0 nm were synthesized and functionalized for loading and importing SA to pineapple plantlets. Decanethiol gatekeepers were introduced to the surface of MSNs via glutathione (GSH)-cleavable disulfide linkages to cover the pore entrance, which was confirmed through using Raman spectroscopy. Through free diffusion, the loading efficiency of SA in MSNs gated with gatekeepers was 11.7%, but was lower in MSNs without gatekeepers (8.0%). In addition, in vitro release profile of SA from gatekeeper-capped MSNs indicated that higher concentrations of GSH resulted in more cargo release. Moreover, the experiments in planta showed that the application of MSNs as a resistance inducer delivery system significantly improved pineapple resistance to P. cinnamomi in terms of inhibiting lesion development and improving root growth of infected plants, compared to the use of free SA and MSNs without gatekeepers. The analysis of SA, GSH, and defense-related genes, of PR1 and PR5, further confirmed that the slow and prolonged release of SA from MSNs inside the roots of pineapple plants was achieved through a redox-stimuli release mechanism. Therefore, the application of MSNs with redox-responsive gatekeepers has shown great potential as an efficient tool for delivering chemicals into plants in a controllable way.

Abstract
Pesticides and fertilizers are widely used to enhance agriculture yields, although the fraction of the pesticides applied in the field that reaches the targets is less than 0.1%. Such indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides is disadvantageous due to the cost implications and increasing human health and environmental concerns. In recent years, the utilization of nanotechnology to create novel formulations has shown great potential for diminishing the indiscriminate use of pesticides and providing environmentally safer alternatives. Smart nano-based pesticides are designed to efficiently delivery sufficient amounts of active ingredients in response to biotic and/or abiotic stressors that act as triggers, employing targeted and controlled release mechanisms. This review discusses the current status of stimuli-responsive release systems with potential to be used in agriculture, highlighting the challenges and drawbacks that need to be overcome in order to accelerate the global commercialization of smart nanopesticides.
