"'The students and researchers of plant molecular biology, plant physiology, agriculture, botany, biochemistry, biotechnology, environmental biology, microbiology, and forestry will be hugely benefitted by the contents of this book as it provides basic understanding of the interactions of NPs in plant system'. The book is also useful to NGOs dealing with civic problems caused by rapid environmental degradation." (Mansi Bakshi, H. B. Singh and P. C. Abhilash, Journal of Cleaner Production, Vol. 113, 2016)
