Abstract

Plant seeds are an important input in agriculture; however, environmental stresses can adversely affect seed vitality, development, and crop production during their developmental stages which results in decreased crop production. High salinity, drought, and climate change-resistant seeds can increase crop yield. The “NanoTech-Agril” era is novel in nano-based technology, having solutions to climate change-related problems in agriculture, empowering farmers to produce a greater number of crops while avoiding problems associated with climate change. Nanoparticle-based seed priming can improve seed metabolism and signaling pathways, helping improve seed growth. Nano-priming induces the formation of nanopores in shoots, aiding in water absorption, activates (ROS)/antioxidant mechanisms in seeds, forms hydroxyl radicals to loosen cell walls, and acts as an inducer for starch hydrolysis present chapter aims to provide an overview of nanoparticle-based seed priming for sustainable agriculture.
