    Abstract The current review highlights the complex behavior of thallium (Tl) in soil and plant systems, offering insight into its hazardous characteristics and far-reaching implications. The research investigates the many sources of Tl, from its natural existence in the earth crust to its increased release through anthropogenic activities such as industrial operations and mining. Soil emerges as a significant reservoir of Tl, with diverse physicochemical variables influencing bioavailability and entrance into the food chain, notably in Brassicaceae family members. Additionally, the study highlights a critical knowledge gap concerning Tl influence on legumes (e.g., soybean), underlining the pressing demand for additional studies in this crucial sector. Despite the importance of leguminous crops in the world food supply and soil fertility, the possible impacts of Tl on these crops have received little attention. As we traverse the ecological complexity of Tl, this review advocates the collaborative research efforts to eliminate crucial gaps and provide solutions for reducing Tl detrimental impacts on soil and plant systems. This effort intends to pave the path for sustainable agricultural practices by emphasizing the creation of Tl-tolerant legume varieties and revealing the complicated dynamics of Tl-plant interactions, assuring the long-term durability of our food systems against the danger of Tl toxicity.

    Abstract Since less attention has been paid to the physiological effects of manganese-based nanomaterials (Mn-based NMs) on plants, it is necessary to explore the application of Mn-based NMs in improving crop yield and the concentration range of Mn-based NMs that produce toxicity. The results showed that soil application of 100 mg/kg manganese oxide (MnO₂) and manganese tetroxide (Mn₃O₄) NMs could increase the shoot height of soybean by 51.8% and 31.8%, respectively, compared with the control. In addition, 100 mg/kg MnO₂ NMs increased catalase (CAT) activity in roots by 62.2%, and 50 mg/kg Mn₃O₄ NMs increased CAT activity in roots by 200%, thereby increasing the stress resistance of soybean. However, at the highest concentration of 500 mg/kg, Mn-based NMs increased the Mn content in soybean extremely so that the absorption of mineral elements such as potassium, phosphorus, and calcium in the root was inhibited. This research lays the foundation for the safe application of Mn-based NMs in agriculture, benefiting the development of nanotechnology and agriculture globally.

    Abstract The micro and nano bubble (MNB) technology, due to its promising features and advantages, has become increasingly popular in agriculture. MNB-treated water positively impacts plant growth, especially when it is treated with a combination of gas-like carbon dioxide (CO₂), injected through the MNB generator. Therefore, this study used MNB water with CO₂ that are small bubbles of nanometer and micrometer diameters having several unique physical properties that make them useful for water treatments. This research evaluates the effect of MNBs and CO₂-treated water on leafy vegetable Amaranth green (Amaranthus viridis). The experiment divided the Amaranth plants into three major groups, G1, G2, and G3, irrigated by MNB water with dissolved CO₂, MNBs with only Air, and simple tap water, respectively. The first treatment group (G1) (MNBs with CO₂) was further divided into three sub-divisions, i.e., G1A, G1B, G1C, and the second treatment group G2 (MNBs with Air) was divided into three sub-groups, i.e., G2A, G2B, and G2C, while the third group G3 with only one category as only controlled group. These sub-divisions of treatment groups G1 and G2 were done to investigate the impact of MNBs and CO₂ treated water with different time durations. For example, in G1A, the water treatment with MNBs and CO₂ was kept five minutes, for G1B 10 minutes, and G1C 15 minutes. Similar method was adopted for G2 as well. According to the results, water treated with MNB and CO₂ has a significant (90%) impact on the Amaranth germination rate and plant growth. Specifically, pots irrigated with the MNBs + CO₂-treated water showed better germination and plant growth rate than the MNBs + Air treated water. Overall, both treatment groups, G1 and G2, showed significantly higher impacts than the CK groups (simple water). Further, this experiment showed that the 10 and 15 minutes treatment of water (G1B, G1C and G2B, G2C) increased the stem height and root size compared to the 5 minutes treated water (G1A, G2A). This study concludes that the water with MNBs has a positive impact on the vegetables and can be an effective technology to improve crop yield.

    Abstract Potassium fertilizer is indispensable for ensuring crop production, which in turn supports global food supply and safe farming practices. Potassium resources are primarily located in the Northern Hemisphere, leading to a current shortage of affordable potash and severe soil deficiencies in certain regions of the Southern Hemisphere. There is a shift away from mined salts in favor of locally available potassium resources. Utilizing potassium-rich silicates, for instance, could be a viable option to address this situation. The imperative of enhancing crop productivity and quality necessitates either increasing potassium availability or utilizing potassium more efficiently. Geneticists may find the development of plants that use potassium more effectively to be a valuable pursuit. Nanomaterials are increasingly becoming part of people's professional lives as a novel material category. This technology is gradually finding applications in agriculture to boost crop yields while reducing environmental pollution. This paper reviews the applications of common potassium-containing materials, explores the effects and mechanisms of nano-fertilizers on plants, and offers insights into future applications of nano-potassium fertilizers in agriculture. All in all, the application of nanotechnology in the production and utilization of potassium fertilizers is both necessary and effective. However, there are still many gaps in the current field of nano-potassium fertilizer application that require further research. It is hoped that this review can serve as a valuable reference for researchers working in this field.

    Abstract Nanotechnology has emerged as a key empowering technology for agriculture production due to its higher efficiency and accurate target delivery. However, the sustainable and effective application of nanotechnology requires nanomaterials (NMs) to have higher stability and less aggregation/coagulation at the reaction sites. This can ideally be achieved by modifying NMs with some surfactants or capping agents to ensure higher efficiency. These modified nanomaterials (MNMs) stabilize the interface where NMs interact with their medium of preparation and showed a significant improvement in mobility, reactivity, and controlled release of active ingredients for nano-enabled agriculture. Several environmental factors (e.g., pH, organic matter and the oxidation-reduction potential) could alter the interaction of MNMs with agricultural plants. Firstly, this novel review article introduces production technologies and a few frequently used modification agents in synthesizing MNMs. Next, we critically elaborate the leveraging progress in the modified nano-enabled agronomy and unveil their phytoremediation potential. Lastly, we propose a framework to overcome current challenges and develop a strategy for safe, effective and acceptable applications of MNMs in nano-enabled agriculture. However, the long-term effectiveness and reactivity of MNMs should be investigated to assess their technology effectiveness and optimize the process design to draw definite conclusions.

    Abstract Nanotechnology has enormous potential for sustainable agriculture, such as improving nutrient use efficiency, plant health, and food production. Nanoscale modulation of the plant-associated microbiota offers an additional valuable opportunity to increase global crop production and ensure future food and nutrient security. Nanomaterials (NMs) applied to agricultural crops can impact plant and soil microbiota, which offers valuable services to host plants, including the acquisition of nutrients, abiotic stress tolerance, and disease suppression. Dissecting the complex interactions between NMs and plants by integrating multi-omic approaches is providing new insights into how NMs can activate host responses and functionality as well as influence native microbial communities. Such nexus and moving beyond descriptive microbiome studies to hypothesis-driven research will foster microbiome engineering and open up opportunities for the development of synthetic microbial communities to provide agronomic solutions. Herein, we first summarize the significant role of NMs and the plant microbiome in crop productivity and then focus on NMs effects on plant-associated microbiota. We outline three urgent priority research areas and call for a transdisciplinary collaborative approach, involving plant scientists, soil scientists, environmental scientists, ecologists, microbiologists, taxonomists, chemists, physicists, and stakeholders, to advance nano-microbiome research. Detailed understanding of the nanomaterial-plant-microbiome interactions and the mechanisms underlying NMs-mediated shifts in the microbiome assembly and functions may help to exploit the services of both nano-objects and microbiota for next-generation crop health.

    Abstract The production of lithium (Li) has attracted global attention in recent years due to unprecedented demand in modern industry. The effect of lithium exposure on plant sub cellular distribution, mineral homeostasis and root metabolomic is rarely reported. Current study shows that lethal concentration on physiological and photosynthetic indicator was measured to be 146–177 mg kg⁻¹. The higher mobility of Li was observed in shoots (383 fold) relative to the root (4.2 fold). Li was mainly deposited in vacuole (103–320%) followed by cell wall (78–203%), mitochondria (46–303%), nucleus (21–298%) and plastid (26–298%), which suggested that both compartments (vacuole and cell wall) act as crucial defensive barriers against Li stress in soybean. Additionally, high concentration of Li (100 and 200 mg kg⁻¹) in soil dramatically altered and down-regulated the specific root metabolites in ABC transporters, ascorbate metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis and pentose phosphate pathways leading to the poor soybean growth and development. Li exposure at 100–200 mg kg⁻¹ decreased Ca ∼27–43% and Mg ∼25–71% relative to control. These results provide valuable information for mechanistic understanding the biological impact of Li on plant physiology and root metabolites; such understanding pave a way forward for execution of emerging Li issues in agriculture.

    Abstract Steroid estrogens (SEs) accumulate in agro-food systems through wastewater treatment and dairy manure, but very little is known about their potential impact on plants and dietary risk to human health. We conducted a meta-analysis to address key questions including, how plants respond to SEs under different environmental conditions, what is the accumulation potential of SEs in distinct plant families, and associated daily dietary intake risks to humans. Based on 517 endpoints, we revealed that various crop species show a heterogeneous response to SEs types (n = 140), SEs concentrations (n = 141), and exposure medium (n = 166). A subsidy-stress response was observed in terms of SEs accumulation for plant growth. The bioaccumulation of SE in plants was shown to be greatest in sand, followed by soil, and hydroponic media. Plants exposed to SEs exhibit considerable changes in physiological and biochemical characteristics. Surprisingly, food crops such as carrot and potato were found as major source of SEs daily intake in food chain but their consequences remains largely unknown. Further field-oriented research is needed to unveil the threshold levels for SEs in soil-plant systems as it may pose a global threat to human health. The state of knowledge presented here may guide towards urgently needed future investigations in this field for reducing the risk in SEs in agro-food systems.
