• Barriers, pathways and processes for uptake, translocation and accumulation of nanomaterials in plants – Critical review (2016, background): “Foliar application of NPs (including insoluble nano-TiO2) resulted in NP translocation from stomatal cavities to plant tissues such as adjacent cells, the vasculature and roots (Larue et al., 2014a,b; Wang et al., 2013c).”
• Green Synthesis of Metallic Nanoparticles: Applications and Limitations (2021, background): “NPs present in the atmosphere can enter into the plant body through the stomatal openings on leaves [286], while those present in soil and water can be selectively up taken by the plant roots [287].”
• Fortification of micronutrients for efficient agronomic production: a review (2016, background): “…from both root (Zhu et al. 2008; Dimkpa et al. 2012b, 2013a, b; Wang et al. 2012a, b; Ghafariyan et al. 2013; Bandyopadhyay et al. 2015) and foliar (Wang et al. 2013a, b) applications in wheat, watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), corn, alfalfa, pumpkin (C. pepo), and soybean, among other crops.”
• Nano chitosan-NPK fertilizer enhances the growth and productivity of wheat plants grown in sandy soil. (2016, background): “Their results suggested that the stomatal pathway is highly capacitive because of its large size exclusion limit above 10 nm and its high transport velocity (Wang et al., 2013).”
• A review of the use of engineered nanomaterials to suppress plant disease and enhance crop yield (2015, background): “Wang et al. (2013) reported on the rapid dissolution of ZnO NPs in the rhizosphere of cowpea, prior to uptake of the ionic Zn into plant tissues.”
