Viral, bacterial, fungal, and nematode infections cause significant agricultural losses, with limited treatment options, necessitating novel approaches to enhance plant defense systems and protection against pathogens. Virus-like nanoparticles (VLPs), extensively used in animal and human therapies (e.g., vaccines and immune enhancers), hold potential for novel agricultural solutions and advancing plant nanotechnology. This study employed various methodologies, including VLP production, confocal microscopy, and real-time qPCR. Our findings demonstrated the presence of 30 nm Qβ-VLPs, fluorescently labeled, within the intercellular space of
