This inventive way offers several advantages over traditional seed treatments because it allows for the precise and targeted delivery of various substances, including nutrients, pesticides, and growth-promoting compounds. Nanopriming is a subset of nanotechnology applied to agriculture, and it can have a significant influence on crop production and sustainability. Nanopriming can be exploited to deliver essential nutrients to seeds, such as zinc, iron, and other micronutrients, in a highly efficient manner. This improves the nutrient content of the crop and ensures better plant development. Nanopriming can accelerate the germination process, leading to faster and more uniform emergence of seedlings. This is especially beneficial in situations with limited water availability or adverse environmental conditions. By improving the overall health and vigor of the plants, nanopriming can lead to increased crop yields and better-quality produce.. Nanopriming is still a relatively new field of research, and scientists are continuously exploring its potential applications and safety considerations. Notably, while nanopriming offers exciting possibilities, nanoparticle mediated environmental and health associated risks are nonnegligent. Researchers and farmers should conduct rigorous testing and follow best practices to ensure the safe and responsible use of nanoparticles in agriculture. Seed dormancy can be reduced through various priming techniques, including salt solutions (halo-priming), water (hydro-conditioning), osmotic agents (osmo-priming), plant hormones (hormonal priming), valuable microbes (biopriming), magnetic fields (magneto-priming), solid carriers (matri-conditioning), and nanoparticles (nano-priming). Modern priming methods like hydro-priming, osmo-priming, hormonal priming, nutri-priming, and bio-priming have demonstrated benefits such as improved germination, growth, stress tolerance, and crop yield. Each priming method has specific traits that must be optimized for different crop species. Nanopriming, using nanoparticles smaller than 100 nm, has emerged as a highly promising approach, outperforming traditional methods by enhancing germination and stress tolerance in various crops. This strategy has been effective in improving seed germination and vigor, making it useful for forest reclamation projects and addressing dormancy issues in forest species Mechanism of Nanopriming: How Nanoparticles Enhance Germination Nanopriming involves soaking seeds in solutions containing nanoparticles (NPs), which can penetrate seed coat and interact with seed tissues. These nanoparticles enhance germination through several mechanisms: 1. Nanoparticles improve water absorption by increasing the seed's permeability, leading to better hydration, faster imbibition, and enhanced metabolic activity during germination.2. NPs trigger mild oxidative stress that primes the seed's antioxidant defense systems. This prepares the plant to better handle environmental stresses like drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures.3. Nanoparticles stimulate key enzymes involved in breaking down stored nutrients within the seed, such as amylase and protease, which provide essential energy for seedling growth.4. NPs help enhance the mobilization of essential nutrients from the seed to the emerging seedling, ensuring faster and healthier growth.5. Certain nanoparticles can influence phytohormonal pathways, promoting growth signals that accelerate the seed's transition from dormancy to active germination.By enhancing these physiological and biochemical processes, nanopriming not only improves germination rates but also boosts seedling vigor and stress resistance, paving the way for more resilient and productive crops.Types of Nanoparticles Used in Seed Nanopriming Several types of nanoparticles (NPs) have been used in seed nanopriming, each offering distinct advantages in enhancing seed germination and plant growth. Recent study conducted on wheat (Triticum aestivum), silver nanoparticles were found to improve seed germination and seedling vigor by enhancing water uptake and enzyme activity. AgNPs also exhibited antimicrobial properties that protected seeds from pathogens during germination. In 2023 a study by demonstrated that AgNPs, at optimal concentrations, positively influenced the germination rate of maize by promoting antioxidant enzyme activity, while high concentrations led to phytotoxicity.Moreover, ZnO-NPs have been reported to improve germination rates, seedling growth, and yield in crops like rice and wheat by enhancing nutrient uptake and providing stress tolerance. In 2022 study on cucumber seeds treated with ZnONPs showed improved seed germination and root elongation due to better absorption of zinc, a crucial micronutrient.SiO2 nanoparticles have been shown to enhance seed germination under saline conditions by mitigating salt stress.This has been demonstrated in wheat and chickpea crops. In a 2023, mung bean (Vigna radiata), SiO2-NPs were reported to reduce oxidative stress and improve water retention during seed germination under drought conditions.Recently, a study highlighted the role of Fe3O4-NPs ng wheat growth by increasing chlorophyll content and photosynthesis efficiency.These studies highlight the significant potential of nanoparticles in boosting and enhancing stress resilience, though their use must be carefully optimized to avoid toxicity.Future Prospects: Scaling Up Nanopriming for Sustainable Agriculture Scaling up nanopriming for sustainable agriculture holds great promise for enhancing crop productivity, resilience, and efficiency.The future prospects for nanopriming are vast, yet challenges remain in its large-scale implementation. It can be fine-tuned to improve crop yields by enhancing tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and pests. This approach has already demonstrated its potential in improving seed germination rates and seedling vigor in a variety of crops.Nanopriming offers the potential for precise delivery of nutrients and stress relievers directly to the seed, optimizing the resource use efficiency.As the agriculture industry increasingly adopts precision farming techniques, nanopriming could play a key role in synchronizing inputs like fertilizers and pest control agents for optimal plant growth. It is also seen as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional seed treatments. By reducing the need for excessive chemical inputs, nanopriming can contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices. However, addressing concerns about nanoparticle accumulation in soil and water systems is essential for ensuring environmental safety. For widespread adoption, nanopriming must become commercially viable. Developing scalable, cost-effective production techniques and ensuring that nanopriming materials are affordable for farmers will be critical.
