To what degree nanoparticles are uptaken by plants and what their
effect is on plant development is an important issue in determining the environmental impact of nanomaterials
The interaction between nanoparticles and plants currently is poorly understood
Nanoparticles with at least one dimension of 100 nanometers or less fall in the transitional zone between individual atoms or molecules and the corresponding bulk material, which can drastically modify the physicochemical properties of the material and may generate adverse biological effects in organisms.
