Author Description

Nanoparticles and Plant-Microbe Interactions: An Environmental Perspective; Volume Seven in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series; provides comprehensive coverage on how nanoparticles can impact plant-microbe interactions. Key themes include nanoparticle synthesis; nano-phytoremediation; nano-farming; the negative impacts of nanoparticles; and nanomaterials in mitigating stress. This will be an essential read for any scientist or researcher looking to assess and understand the potential toxicological risks associated with plant nanotechnology; with particular focus on plant-microbe interactions. Nanotechnology is an emerging field with a vast range of nano-based products for commercial exploitation. The interactions of nanoparticles; plants and microbes can be harnessed in several applications; including alleviating environmental pollution. In addition to the aforementioned content; the book also explores concerns surrounding the toxicity of nanoparticles themselves; an important aspect to be aware; along with potential negative effects. Discusses the latest advances in the use of nanotechnology in plants and plant-microbe interactions Considers the potential negative impacts of nanotechnology on the environment Presents the applications of nanomaterials; including their role in stress mitigation
