Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary having significant role in modern science. Myconanotechnology is an emerging field, where fungi are being used for the synthesis of nanoparticles with desirable size and shape. Fungi have an added advantage over bacteria as well as actinomycetes, as fungi are excellent secretors of proteins leads to a higher yield of nanoparticles which are highly stable, cost-effective, eco-friendly and non-toxic. Currently, a wide range of potential fungi are being screened to create different nanoparticles, such as silver, selenium, platinum, gold, silica, zirconium, zinc oxide, copper, titanium, chitosan, and magnetite had also been reported by various researchers. Mycogenic nanoparticles in phytopathogen management are still in early stage of research. | Novel facets and challenges in the management of phytopathogens using myconanoparticles
