Nanoparticles to immunize plants against heat stress – Phys.org

Civil and Environmental Engineering’s Greg Lowry and his team are creating nanoparticles (NP) and NP coatings that will revolutionize the agricultural industry. Already, his research has demonstrated that NPs that are coated with the right polymers can be applied to plant leaves with 99 percent uptakeorders of magnitude more efficient than current agrochemical delivery methods. Their NP’s are also able to target specific plant structures with pinpoint accuracy.
Now, as the next step in the emer…
