Özet

Nanodrug delivery systems have emerged as a promising method to overcome physiological challenges, enhance therapeutic effects, and achieve controlled release of active components. By encapsulating these components within protective nanostructures, their bioavailability can be improved while minimizing potential negative effects. The primary challenge in drug delivery lies in ensuring the precise, safe, and reproducible release of drug agents to specific target sites. To effectively exert their therapeutic effects, active components must navigate through any unfavorable physiological conditions to reach their intended targets, ensuring the appropriate dosage reaches the target cells. The concept of nanomaterials holds promise in enhancing the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of biologically active components, thereby yielding improved efficacy. Nanomaterials such as nanoemulsions (NEs), liposomes, micelles, metallic nanoparticles (NPs), mesoporous silica NPs, solid lipid NPs, nanocapsules, dendrimers, nanocrystals, niosomes, fullerenes, and nanogels exhibit potential applications in agriculture, enabling controlled distribution of agrochemicals, promoting growth, managing diseases, and ensuring post-harvest quality control. This chapter articulates novel approaches to the functioning of different nanomaterials in drug delivery systems for plants.
