The Effect of Nanoparticles on the Production and Quality of Medicinal Plants

Abstract

Nanotechnology is applied in various fields, such as medicine, electronics, and agricultural sciences, and studies with nanoparticles (NPs) have intensified in agriculture, especially in recent years. Numerous perspectives have been considered while examining the benefits and drawbacks of applying nanoscience to several branches of botany, including seed germination, seedling development, plant production and quality, and plant physiology. This review study aimed to reveal the potential of NPs for use in medicinal plants. To this end, in this review article, the effects of nanofertilization with nanomaterials and nano-priming applications on the physiological, morphological, yield, and quality parameters of medicinal plants were examined and discussed from various aspects.
