The effect of Silver nanoparticles on the activity of the catalase enzyme (unit. mg protein-1)in vegetative parts (shoots)
Source publication
It was important to understand the effects of biosynthesized (eco-friendly) silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous extract of Aloe vera on Wheat (Triticum aestivumL) which consider as an important crops in Iraq and the world in terms of importance and planted area, This study aimed to examine the effect of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles on...

... EDX analysis for the elemental percentage contents of biosynthesized AgNPs from M. parvi ora leaves extract.cultivars, that the highest catalase activity level diagnosed in 1.0 and 1.5 mg/ml (0.68 and 0.69 µg·gm −1 fresh weight) in comparison to the +ve control (0.61 mg protein −1 )[26]. ...
There are increasing needs for developing nontoxic, low-cost, high-yield, and eco-friendly procedures for manufacturing nanoparticles. Nanobiotechnology can be used in food security for improving crop production; nanoparticles could enhance the growth and yield of different crop plants; therefore, this work aimed to improve a new nutrition formula of a hydroponic system using green biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles and Malva parviflora aqueous extract. Results shown that AFM image of AgNP surface morphology provides good indicator for biosynthesizing AgNPs. UV-vis spectroscopy showed the presence of silver elements that proved the reduction of silver ion to an element in the presence of plant extract functional groups which act as a reduction reaction capping agent. AgNPs formation from 1 mM of AgNo3 and Malva parviflora filtrate can easily be characterized through visual observations by the change in the color of the reaction mixture from green to yellowish-brown. SEM showed that most of the Ag nanoparticles were spherical in shape, well dispersed, and were either arranged in clusters of particles with each other, or as small particles, and have been identified in a size range of 12–63 nm. The EDX characterization exhibited that the highest proportion of the element composition was for silver weighting (34.11%) in nanoparticle. Other elements such as aluminum (12.28%), carbon (8.62%), hafnium (18.12%), nitrogen (9.34%), sodium (10.01%), and oxygen (7.52%) may arise from Malva parviflora extract. Also, peroxidase and catalase enzyme activity, cabbage crop seedlings, fresh and dry weights, and proline and carbohydrate concentrations were significantly increased with the increase of biosynthesized AgNP concentrations but up to limit.
