Nanotechnology permits advance research in several areas and opens a large scope in the field of biotechnology and agriculture industry due to unique physiochemical properties. To fulfill the increasing demand of world population higher agricultural productivity is needed to boost the yield. This review presents the current literature and key role of nanoparticles on plant growth, development and yield. The synthesis of nanoparticles by green method with the use of plant extract which is nontoxic, cost effective, ecofriendly over physical and chemical methods. Phytochemical constituents in the plant extract such as phenols, proteins, flavonoids, carbohydrates, alkaloids and amino acids is responsible for the reduction of size of nanoparticles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
