“…In the recent years, flower extracts like Tagetes erecta [ 50 ], Nyctanthes arbortristis [ 51 ], Caesalpinia pulcherrima [ 52 ], Argemone mexicana , Turnera ulmifolia [ 53 ], Fagonia cretica [ 54 – 56 ] among many others have also been used to synthesize AgNPs that display antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer properties. For example, in a recent study, Chlorophytum borivilianum was used as a source of reducing agent to develop AgNPs with roughly spherical shape and were well-dispersed with an average diameter of 52 nm [ 57 ].…”

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess unmatched chemical, biological, and physical properties that make them unique compounds as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer agents. With the increasing drug resistance, AgNPs serve as promising entities for targeted drug therapy against several bacterial, fungal, and viral components. In addition, AgNPs also serve as successful anticancer agents against several cancers, including breast, prostate, and lung cancers. Several works in recent years have been done towards the development of AgNPs by using plant extracts like flowers, leaves, bark, root, stem, and whole plant parts. The green method of AgNP synthesis thus has several advantages over chemical and physical methods, especially the low cost of synthesis, no toxic byproducts, eco-friendly production pathways, can be easily regenerated, and the bio-reducing potential of plant derived nanoparticles. Furthermore, AgNPs are biocompatible and do not harm normally functioning human or host cells. This review provides an exhaustive overview and potential of green synthesized AgNPs that can be used as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer agents. After a brief introduction, we discussed the recent studies on the development of AgNPs from different plant extracts, including leaf parts, seeds, flowers, stems, bark, root, and whole plants. In the following section, we highlighted the different therapeutic actions of AgNPs against various bacteria, fungi, viruses, and cancers, including breast, prostate, and lung cancers. We then highlighted the general mechanism of action of AgNPs. The advantages of the green synthesis method over chemical and physical methods were then discussed in the article. Finally, we concluded the review by providing future perspectives on this promising field in nanotechnology.

“…Among the various inorganic nanomaterials, the antimicrobial activity including the antimycotic potential of the noble metal nanoparticles (Au/Ag NPs) against plant pathogenic microbes was identified initially [ 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. Later, nanoparticles/nanomaterials of Group IIa metals including magnesium [ 56 , 57 ]; calcium [ 58 ]; other transition metals such as copper [ 57 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ], iron [ 61 ], manganese [ 57 ], nickel [ 63 , 64 ], titanium [ 61 , 65 ], zinc [ 56 , 57 , 60 , 62 , 66 , 67 , 68 ], and zirconium [ 21 , 69 ]; and nonmetals such as silicon [ 57 ], selenium [ 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 ], and tellurium [ 74 , 75 ] have been evaluated for their antimicrobial potentials. However, chemically, physically, and biologically synthesized noble metal NPs (Au/Ag NPs), copper/copper oxide, zinc/zinc oxide NPs, and magnesium NPs have been mostly reported for the plant pathogenic microbes, whereas the rest of the NP-microbe studies involved evaluation of antimicrobial activity against human or food pathogenic microbial cultures.…”

A facet of nanorenaissance in plant pathology hailed the research on the development and application of nanoformulations or nanoproducts for the effective management of phytopathogens deterring the growth and yield of plants and thus the overall crop productivity. Zinc nanomaterials represent a versatile class of nanoproducts and nanoenabled devices as these nanomaterials can be synthesized in quantum amounts through economically affordable processes/approaches. Further, these nanomaterials exhibit potential targeted antimicrobial properties and low to negligible phytotoxicity activities that well-qualify them to be applied directly or in a deviant manner to accomplish significant antibacterial, antimycotic, antiviral, and antitoxigenic activities against diverse phytopathogens causing plant diseases. The photo-catalytic, fluorescent, and electron generating aspects associated with zinc nanomaterials have been utilized for the development of sensor systems (optical and electrochemical biosensors), enabling quick, early, sensitive, and on-field assessment or quantification of the test phytopathogen. However, the proficient use of Zn-derived nanomaterials in the management of plant pathogenic diseases as nanopesticides and on-field sensor system demands that the associated eco- and biosafety concerns should be well discerned and effectively sorted beforehand. Current and possible utilization of zinc-based nanostructures in plant disease diagnosis and management and their safety in the agroecosystem is highlighted.
