Magnetite nanoparticle coating chemistry regulates root uptake pathways and iron chlorosis in plants

Significance The global agriculture and food security are facing a wide range of challenges. Nanotechnology has come out as an exciting and challenging solution for sustainable agriculture. Before the practical application, we should understand the fundamental interactions between nanoparticles and plants. Here, we show that magnetite nanoparticle–coating chemical identity controls the regulation for plant iron chlorosis. We associate mutants with different root components and nanoparticles with different surface properties to analyze the uptake and transformation. In addition, we identified the intermolecular force between root exudates and nanoparticles with different surface properties, as well as root acidification level. Our results improve the understanding of nanoparticle–root interactions to development precise design strategies of nanotechnology for controlled delivery of fertilizer or pesticide.
