Nanocarrier spray: a nontransgenic approach for crop engineering

Nanocarrier spray: a nontransgenic approach for crop engineering - Trends in Plant Science, 28(3), p.259-261, 2023 .

Genetic modification allows engineering of important traits in crops through expensive and tedious procedures to alter their genetic background. Recently, Thagun et al. developed a nanocarrier-based foliar spray method to translocate bioactive molecules of interest into plant cells to engineer important traits without introducing a transgene.
