Yet another research planned to evaluate nanoecotoxicity did propose a new plant model starting from the rice plant. The model was drafted to consider the impact of engineered NPs (Ag, Co, Ni, CeO2, Fe3O4, TiO) on rice plants that were weakened by infections of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae bacteria. On completion of the study, it was found that some NPs increased the price sensitivity to the pathogen while others decrease the virulence of the pathogen. In addition, no enrichment in component metal concentration was detected in organs of rice, with the exception of Ni-NPs treatment [15].

Probenazole (3-allyloxy-1, 2-benzisothiazole-1, 1-oxide, M.W. = 223.2 g/mol, Figure 1) is a highly effective chemical inducer of systemic-acquired resistance. It is used widely to protect rice plants against the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea (Yu et al. 2010). Probenazole can also protect rice from other diseases, including rice bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Shimura et al. 1981). More importantly, it prevents pathogen infections in Arabidopsis and tobacco (Yoshioka et al. 2001). Improper and extensive use of the pesticide not only pollutes the cultivated soil and groundwater, but also leads to accumulation in the plants (Yu and Zhou 2005). LC50 (48 h) of Probenazole for carp is 6.3 mg/L. Therefore, the presence of Probenazole in ecosystem has led to searching effective methods for removal and decomposition into environmentally compatible compounds.
