<abstract>Nanopriming is a seed treatment method that uses nanoparticles to improve seed germination, seedling growth, and stress tolerance in plants. It involves soaking seeds in a solution containing nanoparticles of materials like metals or metal oxides, which enhances nutrient uptake, enzyme activity, and antioxidant defenses compared to traditional priming methods. This technique shows promise for boosting crop resilience and yield but requires more research to understand its full mechanisms and long-term environmental impact.</abstract>
