The agronomic application of nanotechnology in plants (phytonanotechnology) has the
potential to alter conventional plant production systems, allowing for the controlled release …

Uptake, transport and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into plant cells are
complex processes that are currently still not well understood. Parts of this problem are the …

Fine and ultrafine metallic particulate matters (PMs) are emitted from metallurgic activities in
peri-urban zones into the atmosphere and can be deposited in terrestrial ecosystems. The …

Advances in nanotechnology have raised concerns about possible effects of engineered
nanomaterials (ENMs) in the environment, especially in terrestrial plants. In this research …

Bioimaging using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS)
offers the capability to quantify trace elements and isotopes within tissue sections with a …

Nanoparticle (NP) physiochemical properties, including surface charge, affect cellular
uptake, translocation, and tissue localization. To evaluate the influence of surface charge on …

Understanding the distribution of elements within plant tissues is important across a range of
fields in plant science. In this review, we examine synchrotron-based x-ray fluorescence …

Loading of nutrients and contaminants is increasing in wetlands due to anthropogenic
