Description
Summary:[...]these unique properties of metal tolerance by plants have been exploited with respect to nanoparticles' synthesis.6 Plant mediated synthesis of nanoparticles is conferred due to the presence of biomolecules such as proteins, amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, terpeniods, and organic acids such as citrates etc. present in the plants as their phyto chemicals. [...]in this regard new technologies offer isolation of biomolecules responsible for synthesis of nanoparticles and challenge synthesizing the nanoparticles forming template based synthesis of nanoparticles.
