چکیده
Nanomaterials and nanotechnology have been widely applied in the world in this last decade. Nanotechnology provides the tool and the technological platforms for the study and transformation of biological systems. Few studies have focused on the effects and mechanisms of nanomaterials on plants. The results of these studies have been reported with the aim to provide further insight into connections between plants and nanomaterials.

A Glimpse on Silver Nanoparticles Genotoxicity in Higher Plants
Particles with sizes between 1 and 100nm are termed as nanoparticles and are used commercially across several industrial processes. Since last four decades, different varieties of nanostructures are produced and among them the market potential of AgNPs is predicted to rise from recent 0.79 billion to $2.54 billion by 2022 [1]. Different mode of applications of AgNPs makes them bioavailable in t...
متن کاملChanges in some physiological traits and mucilage yield of sour tea (Hibiscus Sabdariffa L.) under foliar application of magnesium and iron oxide nanoparticles
In order to investigate the effect of magnesium oxide (MgO) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) on physiological traits and the yield of sour tea (Hibiscus Sabdariffa L.), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications in 2018. MgO and Fe2O3 were used in concentrations of 0.01% and 0.03% as foliar application. The results show...
متن کاملRemoval of Metal Nanoparticles Colloidal Solutions by Water Plants
The ability of seven species of aquatic plants (Elodea canadensis, Najas guadelupensis, Vallisneria spiralis L., Riccia fluitans L., Limnobium laevigatum, Pistia stratiotes L., and Salvinia natans L.) to absorb metal nanoparticles from colloidal solutions was studied. It was established that investigated aquatic plants have a high capacity for removal of metal nanoparticles from aqueous solutio...
متن کاملUptake and distribution of ceria nanoparticles in cucumber plants.
The presence and release of nanoparticles (NPs) into the environment have important implications for human health and the environment. A critical aspect of the risk assessment of nanoparticles is to understand the interactions of manufactured nanoparticles with plants. In this study, the uptake and distribution characteristics of two types of ceria nanoparticles with sizes of ca. 7 nm and 25 nm...
متن کاملEvaluation of antioxidant potential and reduction capacity of some plant extracts in silver nanoparticle synthesis
The green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. In the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. Antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol Trolox equivalents g-1 DW (µmol TE g-1 DW), ranged from 116.0 ...
