Drug Delivery in Plants: Targeted Drug Delivery in Plants: Enzyme‐Responsive Lignin Nanocarriers for the Curative Treatment of the Worldwide Grapevine Trunk Disease Esca (Adv. Sci. 15/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1802315, Jochen Fischer, Frederik R. Wurm, and co-workers report the first nanocarrier-mediated drug delivery in plants. Enzyme-degradable lignin nanocarriers are injected into the trunks of grapevine plants. They release a fungicide selectively inside of the plants and are able to cure the worldwide fungal plant disease Esca for the first time. This strategy will reduce the extensive spraying of pesticides in agriculture. Image credit: Katharina Maisenbacher.
