ナノスケールの粒子は、農業や環境の持続可能性に貢献する可能性があります。特に「ナノキャリア」と呼ばれる粒子は、農業を気候変動に強くし、持続可能にすることが期待されています。パデュー大学のカート・リストロフ助教授らは、ナノ粒子を植物に用いる研究を進めています。彼らの研究は、ナノキャリアを使って植物に活性物質を精密に届ける技術が農業を変革すると示していますが、技術的課題も多いと指摘しています。植物細胞と動物細胞の違いを考慮しつつ、ナノメディシンの技術を植物に応用することが求められます。金属ナノ粒子は追跡が容易であり、研究では植物内での移動経路や変換を解明することが重要です。リストロフ教授は、ナノキャリアの製造可能性と経済的実現可能性にも注目しています。

研究者が農業を改善するためのナノテクノロジー手法を検討(Researchers examine nanotechnological methods for improving agriculture)

Abstract

Nanocarriers (NCs) that can precisely deliver active agents, nutrients and genetic materials into plants will make crop agriculture more resilient to climate change and sustainable. As a research field, nano-agriculture is still developing, with significant scientific and societal barriers to overcome. In this Review, we argue that lessons can be learned from mammalian nanomedicine. In particular, it may be possible to enhance efficiency and efficacy by improving our understanding of how NC properties affect their interactions with plant surfaces and biomolecules, and their ability to carry and deliver cargo to specific locations. New tools are required to rapidly assess NC–plant interactions and to explore and verify the range of viable targeting approaches in plants. Elucidating these interactions can lead to the creation of computer-generated in silico models (digital twins) to predict the impact of different NC and plant properties, biological responses, and environmental conditions on the efficiency and efficacy of nanotechnology approaches. Finally, we highlight the need for nano-agriculture researchers and social scientists to converge in order to develop sustainable, safe and socially acceptable NCs.

Abstract

Abstract Image

Nanodelivery vehicles (NDVs) are engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) that, within the agricultural sector, have been investigated for their ability to improve uptake and translocation of agrochemicals, control release, or target specific tissues or subcellular compartments. Both inorganic and organic NDVs have been studied for agrochemical delivery in the literature, but research on the latter has been slower to develop than the literature on the former. Since the two classes of nanomaterials exhibit significant differences in surface chemistry, physical deformability, and even colloidal stability, trends that apply to inorganic NDVs may not hold for organic NDVs, and vice versa. We here review the current literature on the uptake, translocation, biotransformation, and cellular and subcellular internalization of organic NDVs in plants following foliar or root administration. A background on nanomaterials and plant physiology is provided as a leveling ground for researchers in the field. Trends in uptake and translocation are examined as a function of NDV properties and compared to those reported for inorganic nanomaterials. Methods for assessing fate and transport of organic NDVs in plants (a major bottleneck in the field) are discussed. We end by identifying knowledge gaps in the literature that must be understood in order to rationally design organic NDVs for precision agrochemical nanodelivery.
