Plant Exposure to Engineered Nanoparticles: Uptake, Transformation, Molecular and Physiological Responses discusses the long-term exposure of plants, including agronomic crops, to nanomaterials in terrestrial environments. Chapters discuss changes in metabolite profiles in plants exposed to engineered nanomaterials, as well as modifications in elemental content of edible portions of plants. Biochemical pathways, root profiles, generational exposure, and biomass productivity are also analyzed in detail.
Subsequent chapters cover risks to trophic transfer, as well as human health and

Produktbeschreibung
Plant Exposure to Engineered Nanoparticles: Uptake, Transformation, Molecular and Physiological Responses discusses the long-term exposure of plants, including agronomic crops, to nanomaterials in terrestrial environments. Chapters discuss changes in metabolite profiles in plants exposed to engineered nanomaterials, as well as modifications in elemental content of edible portions of plants. Biochemical pathways, root profiles, generational exposure, and biomass productivity are also analyzed in detail.

Subsequent chapters cover risks to trophic transfer, as well as human health and ecological functions, before concluding with future approaches to plant-nanomaterial research. The book covers important aspects of the interactions between plant and nanomaterials and will be a valuable resource to scientists and researchers in plant physiology, nanotechnology, agronomy and environmental science.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Cyren Rico is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry at Missouri State University. Previously, he was a National Research Council Fellow at the US Environmental Protection Agency in Corvallis, Oregon. Dr Rico obtained his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Texas at El Paso in 2014. His dissertation, Effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles on cereals: Insights on toxicity and macromolecular modifications, was supervised by Dr. Jorge L. Gardea-Torresdey. He earned his MS degree in Agriculture from Kyungpook National University, Korea in 2007, and his BS degree in Chemistry from the University of the Philippines Los Baños in 2000. He works on understanding the ecological effects of nanomaterials, and his goal is to build a career in the field of analytical and environmental chemistry.
