“…This study exclusively examined the in vitro antimicrobial activity of AgNPs and did not assess their efficacy in preventing diseases caused by pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Furthermore, AgNPs, when used as elicitors, can enhance various plant growth parameters, including bud and root length, leaf area, biochemical characteristics, and secondary metabolite concentrations in medicinal plants [ 58 ]. Future investigations will prioritize exploring these aspects.…”

“…The obtained results proved that AgNPs had a positive influence on improving the vegetative growth, yield, and fruit quality of lemon ( C. limon L.). AgNPs are promising materials that have a good influence on the development of crops, particularly by improving the flowering rate, the proportion between root and shoot systems, the growth of seeds, and the formation and rigidity of roots ( Ma et al, 2011 ; Fouda et al, 2020a ; Dutta et al, 2022 ; Ghareeb et al, 2022 ; Mahajan et al, 2022 ). The application of NPs in the agricultural sector improved the resistance to diseases, increased the efficiency of plant elements uptake, pests’ control, raised the ecological pressures tolerance, and provided a processing and storage coefficient system to increase crop productivity ( Mousavi and Rezaei, 2011 ).…”

“…Nanoparticles (NPs) go inside the plant system and transfer via the vascular system ( Corredor et al, 2009 ). AgNPs have a positive influence on improving the growth and development of plants ( Shah and Belozerova, 2009 ; Jaskulski et al, 2022 ; Kannaujia et al, 2022 ; Mahajan et al, 2022 ). In combinations with carriers, NPs can be transferred inside the plant ( Kurepa et al, 2010 ).…”

Ten-year-old lemon (Citrus limon L. cv. Eureka) was used during the 2019 and 2020 seasons to investigate the effect of AgNPs at control, 5, 7.5, and 10 mg/L as a foliar application on vegetative growth, yield, and fruit quality. The selected trees were subjected to agricultural practices applied in the field during the study. The results indicated that the foliar application of AgNPs positively improved the shoot length, total chlorophyll, flower, and fruit set percentage, fruit yield, physical and chemical characteristics of fruits, and leaf mineral composition from macro and micronutrients compared to control in both seasons. The foliar application of AgNPs at 10 mg/L showed the highest mean values followed by 7.5 and 5 mg/L, respectively, for the previous characteristics. The treated leaves and fruit peels were hydrodistillated to extract the essential oils (EOs), and GC–MS analysis of leaf EOs. The analysis of leaves EOs showed the presence of neral, geranial, neryl acetate, and limonene as the main abundant bioactive compounds. While in peel the main compounds were neral, geranial, neryl acetate, D-limonene, geraniol acetate, linalool, and citronellal. Toxin effect of both EOs from leaves and peels were evaluated on the rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae) and the results indicated a higher effect of lemon peel EOs than leaves based on mortality percentage and the values of LC50 and LC95 mg/L. Melia azedarach wood samples loaded with the produced lemon EOs were evaluated for their antifungal activity against the molecularly identified fungus, Fusarium solani (acc # OL410542). The reduction in mycelial growth was increased gradually with the applied treatments. The most potent activity was found in lemon leaf EOs, while peel EOs showed the lowest reduction values. The mycelial growth reduction percentages reached 72.96 and 52.59%, by 0.1% leaf and peel EOs, respectively, compared with control.

“…Additionally, NMs have been used in plant in vitro cultures as novel elicitors to enhance the synthesis of secondary metabolites, with applications in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries ( Rivero-Montejo et al , 2021 ). There are other applications of NMs in plant in vitro cultures, including the induction of callus production, somatic embryogenesis, organogenesis, biomass accumulation, and flower/fruit production ( Khan et al , 2019 ; Mahajan et al , 2022 ; Phong et al , 2022 ).…”

Due to their unique properties, nanomaterials (NMs) behave peculiarly in biosystems. Regarding plants, the interactions of NMs can be interpreted on a spatial scale: from local interactions in cells to systemic effects on whole plants and on ecosystems. Interpreted on a time scale, the effects of NMs on plants may be immediate or subsequent. At the cellular level, the composition and structure of the cell wall and membranes are modified by NMs, promoting internalization. The effects of NMs on germination and seedling physiology and on the primary and secondary metabolisms in the shoot are realized at organ and organism levels. Nanomaterials interact with the beneficial ecological partners of plants. The effects of NMs on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and legume-rhizobia symbiosis can be stimulating or inhibitory, depending on the concentration and type of NM. Nanomaterials exert a negative effect on arbuscular mycorrhiza, and vice versa. Pollinators are exposed to NMs, which may affect plant reproduction. The substances released by the roots influence the availability of NMs in the rhizosphere and components of plant cells trigger internalization, translocation, and transformation of NMs. Understanding of the multilevel and bidirectional relationship between plants and NMs is of great relevance in practice.
