Use of biosynthetic silver nanoparticles in the surface sterilization of Pyracantha coccinea stem explants

Effects of surface sterilisation with green synthesised silver nanoparticles on Lamiaceae seeds

“…2): 369 and 430 nm, respectively. Similar results and observations about the colour changes and UV–Vis chromatograms were reported in green synthesis of silver nanoparticle studies [15, 16, 25, 26].…”

“…Pyracantha coccinea stem explants were exposed to green sterilisation with Alkanna‐NP. The percentages of sterile explants were 62.96 and 53.70%, when Alkanna‐NP was implemented for 20 and 40 min, respectively [16]. Rubia tinctorum cell culture extract was also used for the bioreduction of silver ions and its colloidal solution was utilised for the surface sterilisation of Rosmarinus officinali s stem explants.…”

“…Silver nanoparticles have been used in preventing contamination of medical products [14]. Recently, they have also been used in plant biotechnology as a surface sterilisation agent and an elicitor [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Evaluation of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles Using Moringa oleifera on MCF-7 and HUVEC Cell Lines

“…After 24 h, the sample taken from the AgNPs solution was examined using a UV–vis spectrophotometer at wavelengths in the range of 320–500 nm. The pH value of the synthesized AgNPs was also measured using a pH meter at the time of creating the first mixture and at the end of 24 h [ 52 , 53 ]. The formation, particle shape and size of the synthesized AgNPs were examined by SEM analysis and the characteristic diffraction of each crystal was analyzed by XRD analysis [ 54 ].…”

GREEN SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES (AgNPs) FROM MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.)

“…The green technology used in the production of metal nanoparticles has become popular in recent years because of its being rapid, easy, cheap, sustainable and ecofriendly. Green synthesis, as an alternative to physical and chemical synthesis studies for the production of AgNPs, is considered as an environmentally friendly and costeffective method used by researchers from many different fields of science (Banerjee et al, 2014;Nartop, 2016;Majeed et al, 2018). In the biological synthesis of nanoparticles, organisms such as bacteria, fungi, seaweeds, plants, yeasts, and viruses are used (Khan et al, 2018).…”
