“…Apart from the green synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles, they can also be prepared using biological substances likebacterial species (e.g., Alcaligenes faecalis). These were effective in suppressing the growth of microbes, decreased the production of ethylene, and reduced stomatal conductance which showed improved vase life of roses [64].…”

Horticulture is a branch of Agricultural science where it is defined as the science and art of cultivating and handling fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants and several plants having unique medicinal and aromatic values. Horticultural crops provide farmers with high income and have good export quality, but they have a concern about postharvest losses. Hence, increasing productivity and decreasing post-harvest losses by using scientific studies and techniques like biotechnology and nanotechnology could be the simplest possible solution to the above-mentioned problems. Using nanotechnology which is having the characteristics of nanoparticles is proven to be very useful in science and technological applications. Nanotechnology-based formulations increase the product quality and the shelf life of horticultural products and provide multiple ways of inhibiting the growth and development of microorganisms. It is precisely a new edible packaging coverage (film) that controls the exchange of gases and prevents damage from harmful rays such as ultraviolet radiation to a greater extent. Increasing strength by using nano biosensors for labeling products is considered a fundamental process to automated control of storage products. Postharvest rotting of vegetables is recognized to be an oxidative reaction and microbial deterioration as well. This review will address all such nanotechnology-based advancements for minimizing post-harvest losses of horticultural crops and enhancing the socio-economical progress of growers in particular.

Gladiolus is a commercial cut flower whose demand is 6000-8000 spikes/day and increasing day by day because of its majestic spikes. Long vase life is one of the important attributes of cut flowers but due to lack of proper aftermath effects and management flower does not remain consumable for long. This review focuses on different approaches to increase the vase life of the gladiolus cut flower. Cultivation practices, nutrients applied and maturity judgment during cultivation were found as responsible factors to determine the vase life. However, vase solutions containing different concentrations of 8-HQC, salicylic acid, Humic acid, silver nanoparticles, and sucrose (energy source) influence the vase life considerably. The number of Gamma rays and light also determines the vase life of gladiolus cut spikes by diminishing chromosomal aberration was seen higher responsible for improving flower opening and vase life. Gladiolus is extremely sensitive to Fluoride, so it is better not to use water from contaminated sources during the preparation of the preservative solution.

“…In comparison with microbial biosynthesis, phyto‐synthesis has furnished a novel dimension to material chemistry by manufacturing biocompatible silver nano‐structures. This method is green, economical, and reproducible, due to the diversified availability of the materials, ease of manipulation, and minimal impediments [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. In this regard, phyto‐synthesised AgNPs containing alkaloids and flavonoids can be used for bactericidal activity of pathogens found in humans [ 15 ].…”

Published studies indicate that virtually any kind of botanical material can be exploited to make biocompatible, safe, and cost-effective silver nanoparticles. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that plants possess active bio-ingredients that function as powerful reducing and coating agents for Agþ. In this respect, a phytomediation method provides favourable monodisperse, crystalline, and spherical particles that can be easily purified by ultra-centrifugation. However, the characteristics of the particles depend on the reaction conditions. Optimal reaction conditions observed in different experiments were 70-95°C and pH 5.5-8.0. Green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have remarkable physical, chemical, optical, and biological properties. Research findings revealed the versatility of silver particles, ranging from exploitation in topical antimicrobial ointments to in vivo prosthetic/organ implants. Advances in research on biogenic silver nanoparticles have led to the development of sophisticated optical and electronic materials with improved efficiency in a compact configuration. So far, eco-toxicity of these nanoparticles is a big challenge, and no reliable method to improve the toxicity has been reported. Therefore, there is a need for reliable models to evaluate the effect of these nanoparticles on living organisms.
