Résumé
Chromium (Cr), one of the hazardous pollutants, exists predominantly as Cr(VI) and Cr(III) in the environment. Cr(VI) is more toxic than Cr(III) due to its high mobility and solubility. Elevated levels of Cr in agricultural soil due to various anthropogenic activities cause Cr accumulation in plants, resulting in a significant reduction in plant yield and quality due to Cr-induced physiological, biochemical and molecular alterations. It can infiltrate the food chain through crop plants and cause harmful effects in humans via biomagnification. Cr(VI) is linked to cancer in humans. Therefore, mitigation strategies are required to remediate Cr-polluted soils and limit its accumulation in plants for safe food production. Recent research on metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) has shown that they can effectively reduce Cr accumulation and phytotoxicity. The effects of these NPs are influenced by their type and dose, exposure method, plant species and experimental settings. In this review, we present an up-to-date compilation and comprehensive analysis of the existing literature regarding the process of uptake and distribution of Cr and impact and potential mechanisms of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles led mitigation of Cr-induced stress in plants. We have also discussed recent developments, existing research gaps and future research directions in the field of Cr stress mitigation by NPs in plants. Overall, this review can provide valuable insights in reducing Cr accumulation and toxicity using metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, thereby promoting safe and sustainable cultivation of food and phytostabilization of Cr-polluted soil.
