The review examines the recent years’ data
pertaining to the interaction of plants with
nanoparticles of noble metals (gold and silver) and
with nanoparticles of magnesium as an element that
has a central role in the organization of the cellular
protein-synthesizing apparatus. Information is
presented about the effect of gold and silver
nanoparticles on plants and on possible nanoparticle
phytotoxicity. It is shown that magnesium
nanoparticles, as well as those of noble metals,
produce various effects on the growth and
productivity of plants, enabling the arsenal of
biologically active substances to be expanded.
Analysis is made of the involvement of magnesium
nanoparticles in cryobiological reaction of the
regular breakdown of plant RNA under conditions of ultra low temperatures, which is important not
only for the further developments of views of the
origin of life ob Earth but also for the purposes of
designing new markers for the analysis of the
biological peculiarities of agricultural crops on the
basis of studies of magnesium in the long-lived
RNA of their mature seeds. The presented critical
analysis of the literature data, which are often
incomplete and contradictory, suggest that a
coordinated research program is needed that would
detect correlation between particle parameters,
experimental design, and observed biological
effects
