Nanobionics involves the improvement of plant or plant productivity using nanomaterials. Growth of a plant
from a seed encompasses various factors which are directly or indirectly dependent upon the imbibition of micro and
macro nutrients and vital elements from the soil. Since most of the nutrition is physiologically unavailable to the plants, it
leads to mineral deficiencies in plant and mineral toxicity in soil. Either ways, it is not a favourable situation for the microcosom. The new era of nanotechnology offers a potential solution to the availability of the nutrients to the plants due to
its unique chemical and physical properties of nanoparticles. Positive and negative impact of these nanoparticles on seed
quality and plant growth varies according to the specific properties of nanoparticles. The present review is an attempt to
summarize the impact of nanobionics in agriculture.
