      abstract = {This book presents a collection of cross-disciplinary  research, with contributions addressing all key features of  the plant/microbe/ENP nexus in agro-ecosystems. The uptake,  transport and transformation of nanoparticles in plants  have attracted more and more attention in the past several  years. Especially, the impact of Engineered Nanoparticles  (ENPs) on bioprocesses; low-, medium- and high-level dose  responses in the microbial community of soil; and long-,  medium- and short-term exposure responses, particularly  microbial nitrogen transformations, are just a few of the  aspects involved. Since ENPs are used in many industries,  including cosmetics, agriculture, medicine, food technology  and waste management, their transport through  biogeochemical cycles is an important focus of many studies  today. Specifically, ENPmicrobe interaction has been  analysed with regard to disease treatment for plants; it  plays a vital role in disease inhibition by releasing metal  ions that act through many pathways e.g. reactive oxygen  species (ROS) generation, DNA transformation and disruption  of the cell cycle to stop cell growth in the pathogen. Due  to these properties, ENPs are also used as slow release or  delayed release pesticides and fungicides, and as carrier  systems for growth-promoting hormones. Despite their  multiple uses in various industries, the negative effects  of ENPs are still a major concern for the scientific  community and consumers alike. For example, their transport  to various food chains has been reported to have adverse  effects. This raises a degree of doubt concerning a rapidly  growing scientific field with major applications in many  industries. From a sustainable development perspective and  particularly to ensure food security in light of the  uncertainty accompanying climate change, it is imperative  to address this divergence by focusing on the  plant/microbe/ENP nexus.},
