The global community decided in 2015 to improve people's lives by 2030 by setting 17 global goals for sustainable development. The second goal of this community was to end hunger. Plant seeds are an essential input in agriculture; however, during their developmental stages, seeds can be negatively affected by environmental stresses, which can adversely affect seed vigor, seedling establishment, and crop production. Seeds resistant to high salinity, droughts and climate change can result in higher crop yield. The major findings suggested in this review refer nanopriming as an emerging seed technology towards sustainable food amid growing demand with the increasing world population. This novel growing technology could influence the crop yield and ensure the quality and safety of seeds, in a sustainable way. When nanoprimed seeds are germinated, they undergo a series of synergistic events as a result of enhanced metabolism: modulating biochemical signaling pathways, trigger hormone secretion, reduce reactive oxygen species leading to improved disease resistance. In addition to providing an overview of the challenges and limitations of seed nanopriming technology, this review also describes some of the emerging nano-seed priming methods for sustainable agriculture, and other technological developments using cold plasma technology and machine learning.
全球社会于 2015 年决定通过设定 17 个可持续发展全球目标，在 2030 年之前改善人们的生活。该社区的第二个目标是消除饥饿。植物种子是农业的重要投入物；然而，在其发育阶段，种子可能会受到环境胁迫的负面影响，这可能会对种子活力、幼苗定植和作物产量产生不利影响。具有耐高盐、耐旱和抗气候变化能力的种子可以提高作物产量。本综述中的主要研究结果表明，纳米引发作为一种新兴的种子技术，可以在世界人口不断增长的情况下，满足不断增长的需求，实现粮食的可持续供应。这项新技术可以通过提高新陈代谢来影响作物产量，并确保种子的质量和安全性，实现可持续发展。当纳米引发的种子发芽时，由于代谢增强，它们会经历一系列协同事件：调节生化信号通路、触发激素分泌、减少活性氧，从而提高抗病性。除了概述种子纳米引发技术的挑战和局限性外，本综述还描述了一些新兴的纳米种子引发方法，用于可持续农业，以及其他使用冷等离子体技术和机器学习的技术发展。
