Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites Exposures to Plants

Introduction

This book looks at the interaction between plants and nanomaterials/nanocomposites, and their effects on ecology, the food chain, and human health. It focuses on nanomaterials/nanocomposites phytotoxicity, which is an important precondition to promote the application of nanotechnology and to avoid the potential ecological risks.

Content Overview

It describes the influencing factors of nanotoxicity of nanomaterials and the mechanisms of these toxic effects and defense mechanisms in plants. The chapters in this book are written by internationally renowned researchers and professionals and provide exciting and remarkable information (on the above-mentioned topics) to the scientist, researcher, and student working in the fields of plant biology, agricultural science, nanobiotechnology, plant biochemistry, plant physiology, plant biotechnology, and many other interdisciplinary subjects.
