Abstract Poly (α-l-lysine)(PLL) is a class of water-soluble, cationic biopolymer composed of α-
l-lysine structural units. The previous decade witnessed tremendous progress in the …

There is a wide range of application for nanotechnology in agriculture, including fertilizers,
aquaculture, irrigation, water filtration, animal feed, animal vaccines, food processing, and …

The delivery of genetic material into plants has been historically challenging due to the cell
wall barrier, which blocks the passage of many biomolecules. Carbon nanotube-based …

The selective infiltration of cell membranes and tissue barriers often blocks the entry of most
active molecules. This natural defense mechanism prevents the invasion of exogenous …

The initiation of RNA interference (RNAi) by topically applied small interfering RNA has
potential applications for plant functional genomics, crop improvement and crop protection …

RNAi technique was used to regulate Fusarium crown and root rot in tomatoes caused by F.
oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL), by targeting three essential genes namely …

Genetic engineering of plants has revolutionized agriculture and has had a significant
impact on our everyday life. It has allowed for the production of crops with longer shelf lives …

Biological applications of nanomaterials as delivery carriers have been embedded in
traditional biomedical research for decades. Despite lagging behind, recent significant …

Delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to intact plants for gene silencing mainly relies on
viral vectors and Agrobacterium‐mediated transformation due to the barrier of intact plant …

The delivery of DNA to plants is crucial for enhancing their ability to produce valuable
compounds and adapt to climate change. Peptides can provide a versatile tool for delivering …
