In Vivo toxicity assessment of gold nanoparticles in Drosophila melanogaster (2011, background): “Several nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, metal and metal–oxide nanoparticles, have been recently observed to show significant toxicity [6–9], thus introducing the general perception of a possible size dependence of material toxicity [1, 10 ].”
Biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles using plant extracts and evaluation of their antibacterial properties (2018, background): “The mechanism of penetration of nanoparticles to the bacteria is not understood completely, but studies suggest that when bacteria are treated with zinc nanoparticles, changes taken place in its membrane morphology cause a significant increase in its permeability affecting proper transport through t”
Effects of Stabilized Nanoparticles of Copper, Zinc, Manganese, and Iron Oxides in Low Concentrations on Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Seed Germination: Nanotoxicants or Nanonutrients? (2016, background): “…claim that the MOx NPs tested were toxic to animals, plants, or microorganisms (Ma et al. 2013) either through release of toxic ions (Navarro et al. 2008; Auffan et al. 2009; Horie et al. 2012) and/or through generation of the cellular disruptive reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Navarro et al. 2008).”
Nanoparticles for pest control: current status and future perspectives (2017, background): “…pest control: definition, concepts, and perspectives Nanoparticles (NPs) can be defined as a subclass of ultrafine particles with characteristic dimensions from 1 to 100 nm and have properties that are not shared by non-nanoscale particles with the same chemical composition (Auffan et al. 2009).”
Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of silver nanoparticles in the human lung cancer cell line, A549 (2011, background): “Size, shape and chemical composition have been deemed important properties when investigating NP-mediated toxicity (AuVan et al. 2009).”
Perspectives for nano-biotechnology enabled protection and nutrition of plants. (2011, neutral): “Nanotechnology employs nanoparticles (NPs) having one or more dimensions in the order of 100 nm or less (Auffan et al., 2009).”
