ABSTRACT
Globally, thedemandforfoodwilldoubleby 2050. Plantpathogens, especiallyviruses, havedestroyedcropsaroundtheworld. Chemicalapplicationsforplant virus control haveenvironmentalpollutionconcerns, whilegeneticallymodifiedplants are not more fruitfulbecause of theirefficiencyconcerns, orbecausetheymay lead toanepidemic. Nanobiotechnologyis a usefultoolforupdatingdiseasemanagementstrategies. Developing eco-friendly material synthesistechnologiesis of considerable valuetoexpandingtheirbiologicalapplications. In today'sworld, a widerange of inorganicnanoparticleswithwell-definedchemicalcomposition, size, and morphologyhavebeensynthesizedusingvariousmicrobes. Theirapplications in manycutting-edgetechnologicalareas, such as plant virus diseasemanagement, havebeenthoroughlyexplored.Microbe-derivedorplant-derivednanoparticles are usuallyapplieddirectlytotheplantorinfectionsitefordiseasemanagement. However, dsRNA nano claysheets are another novel techniqueto induce theresistanceorelicittheRNAs.
