AB  - The demand for agricultural crops continues to escalate with the rapid growth of 
      the population. However, extreme climates, pests and diseases, and environmental 
      pollution pose a huge threat to agricultural food production. Silica 
      nanoparticles (SNPs) are beneficial for plant growth and production and can be 
      used as nanopesticides, nanoherbicides, and nanofertilizers in agriculture. This 
      article provides a review of the absorption and transportation of SNPs in plants, 
      as well as their role and mechanisms in promoting plant growth and enhancing 
      plant resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. In general, SNPs induce 
      plant resistance against stress factors by strengthening the physical barrier, 
      improving plant photosynthesis, activating defensive enzyme activity, increasing 
      anti-stress compounds, and activating the expression of defense-related genes. 
      The effect of SNPs on plants stress is related to the physical and chemical 
      properties (e.g., particle size and surface charge) of SNPs, soil, and stress 
      type. Future research needs to focus on the "SNPs-plant-soil-microorganism" 
      system by using omics and the in-depth study of the molecular mechanisms of 
      SNPs-mediated plant resistance.
