Chitosan, Nanoparticles, Synthesis and Characterization of Chitosan Nanoparticles

Abstract

Nanoparticles have emerged as potential tools for improving plant health and its performance during biotic and abiotic stress. However, little to no studies were reported with a focus on application of chitosan loaded nanoparticles to understand the biochemical driven physiological studies in plants. Therefore, in the current review we have focused on synthesis and characterization of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) for improved plant growth and development during unfavorable conditions. Further, we have presented a broad range of nanoparticles that are widely used for plant studies as well. The CSNPs can potentially help in controlling post-harvest storage problems in several crop plants besides there involvement in routine growth and development of plants.
