Abstract

Plants have been using phytonanotechnology to boost their capacity to deal against adverse environmental conditions in recent years (e.g., nutritional insufficiency, pollution) and other hazardous compounds, as well as to introduce target-specific nanomaterials into the plant, increasing and improving production. This chapter gives an overview of phytonanotechnology, including its features and functions. This chapter will also look at how this technology affects the environment. The goal of this study is to get a fundamental knowledge of plant species and adjust their functions. Using a cross-analysis of papers measured the results are phytonanotechnology is helpful to our environment. By the use of phytonanotechnology was found to play the greatest role in making, environment and plants. This study definitely answers the questions regarding the correlation between proximity to nanotechnology to its applications and how is it beneficial. Improved development of phytonanotechnology may also ultimately result in the emergence of “advanced plants,” allowing humans to sense and comprehend individual plants and their environs, so ensuring the planet's long-term viability.
