Silica nanoparticles protect rice against biotic and abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

By 2050, the world population will increase to 10 billion which urged global demand for food production to double. Plant disease and land drought will make the situation more dire, and safer and environment-friendly materials are thus considered as a new countermeasure. The rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, causes one of the most destructive diseases of cultivated rice worldwide that seriously threatens rice production. Unfortunately, traditional breeding nor chemical approaches along control it well. Nowadays, nanotechnology stands as a new weapon against these mounting challenges and silica nanoparticles (SiO₂ NPs) have been considered as potential new safer agrochemicals recently but the systematically studies remain limited, especially in rice.
