With the advancement of nanotechnology, the usage of nanoscale materials in industrial applications has increased exponentially, which is triggering the release of nanomaterials into the environment deliberately or accidentally.
This book provides a detailed review on the interactions of nanomaterials with plants, nanodelivery systems in agriculture, the impacts of nanomaterials on seed germination, nanosensors for plant disease diagnosis and toxicity aspects of nanomaterials towards plants. In addition, nanomaterials synthesis and nanomaterials characterisation techniques, are discussed. This book also highlights practical aspects related to these subsections. The content of this text will help a diverse group of researchers to apply nanotechnology concepts in life sciences.

Although there are numerous books available on the subject, they mostly discuss recent research findings and very few covers the fundamentals and applications. This book will be advantageous for budding scientists who are interested in the field of plant nanomaterial interactions. It is obvious that current literature on nanotechnology has a bias towards chemistry and physics which creates a barrier for biologists to pursue nanosciences. This book attempts to address the aforementioned challenge.

Nadeesh M. Adassooriya is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemical & Process Engineering, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. He received his PhD in Engineering (Materials) from University of Cambridge, UK. Ryan Rienzie is presently a Lecturer attached to the Department of Agricultural Biology, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. He received his bachelors and master's from the same university. Nadun H. Madanayake is a Lecturer at the Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. He obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) Degree in Microbiology from University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka.
