Abstract
Seed germination is the critical stage in plant's life cycle, assisting sapling development, survivorship, and population trends. Plants, as sessile life forms, are easily exposed to abiotic stresses like heat, salinity, cold, soil alkalinization, drought. The interaction of nano-materials with the plant, soil, and the holobiont systems is critical for understanding their behaviors within every complicated ecosystem. The use of nanoparticles has a beneficial impact on germinating seeds and also plant growth and development. Titanium based nanoparticles triggers the development of carbohydrates, which promotes rates of photosynthesis and plant growth. It is hoped that nanotech will provide long-term remedies by replacing conventional bulk fertilizers with nano-particulate counter parts that have excellent characteristics for overcoming current problems such as mineral bio-availability and absorption. Nano-priming could be practiced to seeds to preserve them during storage, enhance germination rate, germination synchronization, and plant growth, and also enhance resistance of crop to biotic and abiotic stressful conditions.
