Abstract
Climate change affected crop growth and development which reduced crop production. Decreasing crop production can create food security-related problems. Nanotechnology is a new era of technology for the solution of climate change-related problems in agriculture we can say the "NanoTech-Agril" era that helps the farmer to produce a larger number of crops without any problem related to climate change problems like salinity, drought, flood etc. Nanoparticle-based seed priming can enhance the seed metabolism and signalling pathways, that not only enhanced seed germination but also help in the establishment of plants for the entire lifecycle. Nano-seed priming also enhanced the metabolic, biochemical, antioxidant and phytohormone pathways resulting in the promotion of abiotic and biotic stresses that cut off the need for pesticides and fertilizers. The present review provides an overview of the nanoparticle application for sustainable agriculture.
