Stress Responses of Wetland and Aquatic Plants to Silver Nanoparticles
摘要
Nanotechnology is an emerging approach gaining attention in the design, production, and manipulation of tiny particles ranging from 1 to 100 nm in size. Among various metal nanoparticles, Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) are of utmost importance due to their distinctive capabilities which can play a part as antimicrobial agents, biosensor materials, cosmetics, composite fibers, etc. As previous research concluded, numerous biotic and abiotic factors perform principal roles in evaluating the transportation, toxicity profile, and mechanism of action of AgNPs in water and soil. AgNPs when mixed into land and hydrated environments set serious health issues and environmental hazards leading to instigating stress responses in aquatic and wetland plants. These include poor growth of plant, low quality, and yield of crop due to stress responses induced by AgNPs.
