Abstract
Engineered Nano Materials are designed nanoparticles used in industry, agriculture, electronics, textiles, and maybe other fields. In agriculture, nanoparticles are used in different parts of plants’ life cycles and their effect on seed, germination, plant growth and development, and pathogen determination are considered. Reactive oxygen species production can break seed dormancy or even increase guard cells when the pathogen infects the plants. Engineered Nano Materials produces Reactive Oxygen Species, which can also damage cell membranes through lipid peroxidation, which disrupts cell metabolism but some of these nanoparticles can also activate more antioxidants and protect chlorophyll and carotenoids from Reactive Oxygen Species. Elements in Nano size can have different effects from their actual size. Nanoparticles can change the cell physiologically and stop its antioxidant defense system. In this review, the effects of nanoparticles on oxidative stress and also its effect on improving the negative effects of other stress have been discussed. Future studies should explore how nanoparticles impact ROS production in diverse plants, including medicinal varieties, in various environments. Improved research methods are crucial for a clearer understanding of these effects on plant health.
