Abstract:

Nano plant breeding, or nano-osmics, is an advanced field that merges nanotechnology with plant science to develop superior crops by manipulating materials at the atomic scale, using nanoparticles as precise delivery vehicles for genes, nutrients, and growth regulators to enhance traits like yield, stress tolerance, and nutritional value, essentially enabling "atomic engineering" of plants for faster, more targeted genetic improvement than traditional methods.
