Nanomaterials, a group of novel materials with at least one dimension smaller than 100 nm, display great usage potential in multiple scientific disciplines such as drug design, cancer therapy, and improved crop production. This review focuses on nanomaterials and their applications in the plant field. The synthesis and classification of nanomaterials are first introduced, and the possible absorption and transport routes of nanomaterials in plants are discussed. Subsequently, the article summarizes recent advances in the utilization of nanomaterials and nano-mediated delivery systems in genetic transformation, growth and development regulation, and disease and pest insect control in plants, particularly those with agronomic importance. Several key research directions are finally proposed to advance the future application of nanobiotechnology in crop production.
