Book synopsis

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) reach plant ecosystems through intentional or unintentional pathways. In any case, after release, these materials may be transformed in the environment by physical, chemical, and biochemical processes. Once in contact with plant systems, biotransformation may still occur, affecting or stimulating plant metabolism. Since plants are the producers to the food chain, it is of paramount importance to understand these mechanisms at the molecular level. Physicochemical Interactions of Engineered Nanoparticles and Plants, Volume 4 in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series, presents foundational information on how ENMs interact with the surrounding environment. Key themes include source, fate and transport of ENMs in the environment, biophysicochemical transformations of ENMs, and chemical reactions and mechanisms of ENMs transport in plants. This will be an essential read for any scientist or researcher looking to understand the molecular interactions between ENMs and Plants. Presents data, predictions, and modelling regarding the presence of ENMs in air, water and soil Explains, at the molecular level, the biogeochemical cycle of ENMs before plant exposure Focuses on the reactions and mechanisms of ENMs and plants
