Abstract:
Nanoparticles (NPs) have a number of unique properties associated with their ultrasmall size and exhibit many advantages compared with existing plant biotechnology platforms for delivery of proteins, RNA and DNA of various sizes into the plant cells (Arruda et al., 2015; Silva et al., 2010; Martin-Ortigosa et al., 2014; Mitter et al., 2017) [1], [2], [3], [4]. The data presented in this article demonstrate a delivery of biomolecules into Nicotiana benthamiana plant leaves using various types of NPs including gold, iron oxide and chitosan NPs and methods of biolistic bombardment and infiltration. The data demonstrate physical characteristics of NPs coated with fluorescently labeled protein and small RNA (size and zeta-potential) and visualization of nanocomplexes delivery into cells of N. benthamiana leaves by fluorescence microscopy.

Leaving Groups
In general, in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophile displaces a functional group, called the leaving group, from the substrate to give a substituted product. A leaving group departs the substrate molecule through heterolytic cleavage, taking the pair of electrons with it to become a relatively stable weak base in the form of an anion or a neutral molecule.

Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...

Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...
