Description
Summary:Using nanoparticles in agriculture requires a positive and eco-friendly response and a better understanding of their effects on plant cultures. Micropropagation is a recourse for the mass production and rescue of plant species that uses biotechnological tools in which it is possible to include nanoparticles for different purposes. In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZNPs) with an average size of 70 nm were biosynthesized with cell-free filtrate (CFF) from Mucor fragilis , the addition of ZNPs to the shoots of Agave salmiana var. Ayoteco, in their multiplication stage, was evaluated. Agave seedlings treated with ZNPs generally showed organogenesis after 20 days, with an optimal production of 18 shoots. Depending on the treatment applied, the combination of NPs and intermediate concentrations of the studied regulators caused a modification of the structures in the shoots and seedlings, mainly in the stomata, without the accumulation of ZnO. The antioxidant activity in shoots and seedlings depended on the stress generated by abiotic agents, such as growth regulators and NPs, to which they were exposed. Key message The combination of extracellular biogenic zinc oxide nanoparticles and growth regulators reduced the time required for shoot generation in A. salmiana while simultaneously preventing microbial contamination of the culture medium.
