Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences Kamel A. Abd-Elsalam Ram Prasad Editors Nanobiotechnology Applications in Plant Protection Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences Series Editor Ram Prasad School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China Amity Institute of Microbial Technology, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida, UP, India Nano and biotechnology are two of the 21st century’s most promising technologies. Nanotechnology is demarcated as the design, development, and application of materials and devices whose least functional make up is on a nanometer scale (1 to 100 nm). Meanwhile, biotechnology deals with metabolic and other physiological developments of biological subjects including microorganisms. These microbial processes have opened up new opportunities to explore novel applications, for example, the biosynthesis of metal nanomaterials, with the implication that these two technologies (i.e., thus nanobiotechnology) can play a vital role in developing and executing many valuable tools in the study of life. Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, from developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale, to investigating whether we can directly control matters on/in the atomic scale level. This idea entails its application to diverse fields of science such as plant biology, organic chemistry, agriculture, the food industry, and more. Nanobiotechnology offers a wide range of uses in medicine, agriculture, and the environment. Many diseases that do not have cures today may be cured by nanotechnology in the future. Use of nanotechnology in medical therapeutics needs adequate evaluation of its risk and safety factors. Scientists who are against the use of nanotechnology also agree that advancement in nanotechnology should continue because this field promises great benefits, but testing should be carried out to ensure its safety in people. It is possible that nanomedicine in the future will play a crucial role in the treatment of human and plant diseases, and also in the enhancement of normal human physiology and plant systems, respectively. If everything proceeds as expected, nanobiotechnology will, one day, become an inevitable part of our everyday life and will help save many lives.

Traditional plant protection strategies often prove insufficient, and application of chemical-based pesticides has negative effects on animals and human beings apart from causing decline in soil fertility. Recent industrial advancements have led to the fabrication of nanomaterials of diverse sizes and shapes. These innovations are the base for further engineering to create unique properties targeted toward spe- cific applications. Nanotechnology would deliver green and efficient alternatives for the management of plant diseases without harming the nature, while the most favor- able strategies, in recent scenario, are the use of micro- and nanotechnology to promote a more efficient assembly and then release of specific and environmental sustainable active principles. The wide range of nanotechnology applications in agriculture also includes nanopesticides for the control of plant pathogen interac- tions and provides new techniques for crop disease control. However, use in agricul- ture, especially for plant protection and production, is an under-explored area in the research community. Nanotechnology has many applications in all stages of pro- duction, processing, storing, packaging, and transport of agricultural products. Nanotechnology will revolutionize agriculture and food industry by innovation of new techniques such as precision farming techniques, enhancing the ability of plants to absorb nutrients, improving seed germination and growth, more efficient and targeted use of inputs, plant protection, pathogen detection, control diseases, pesticide/herbicide residue detection, and withstand environmental pressures and effective systems for processing, storage, and packaging. This book deals with the application of nanotechnology for quicker, more cost- effective, and precise diagnostic procedures of plant diseases. Additionally, the combination of nanotechnology with microfluidic systems has been effectively applied in molecular plant pathology and can be adapted to detect specific patho- gens and toxins. Moreover, the application of nanotechnology in plant disease v vi Preface control, antimicrobial mechanisms, and nanotoxicity on plant ecosystem have been discussed in detail. The first chapter by Sabry and Ragaei reviews nanotechnology and its applica- tions in insect’s pest control. Chapter 2 highlights the nanoparticles-based plant disease management tools for agricultural sustainability presented by Yadav and Yadav. In Chap. 3, Gabal et al. describe copper nanostructures and their applications in plant protection. Nanoantimicrobials for phytopathogens control by mechanistic approaches and potential applications are described by Mohamed and Abd–Elsalam in Chap. 4. In Chap. 5, Kaushal highlights on the role of microbes in plant protec- tion using intersection of nanobiotechnology. Chapter 6 highlights on the role of nanoemulsions as antimicrobial agents in plant protection by Hashim et al. In Chap. 7, Mohamed et al. describe the application of nano-carbon in plant growth promo- tion and protection. In Chap. 8, Jampílek and Kráľová highlight on benefits and risks factor of nano- technology applications in crop protection. In Chap. 9, Gupta et al. highlight on applications of silver nanoparticles in plant protection. Tahsin Shoala details on positive impacts of nanoparticles in plant resistance against different stimuli in Chap. 10. In Chap. 11, Mostafa et al. give an overview of nanoantimicrobials mech- anism of action. Sustainable nanotechnology approaches for mycotoxin detection and protection are discussed in Chap. 12 by Thipe et al. Finally, application of chitosan- based nanostructures in plant protection has been discussed by Al-Dhabaan et al. in Chap. 13. We wish to thank Springer officials, particularly William F.
