Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles in Photosynthetic Plants (2014, methodology): “Brassica juncea had better metal accumulating ability and later assimilating it as nanoparticles, Brassica juncea when hydroponically grown in solution of AgNO 3 , Na 3 Ag(S 2 O 3 ) 2 , and Ag(NH 3 ) 2 NO 3 synthesized AgNPs of 2–35 nm [17].”
Potential of plant as a biological factory to synthesize gold and silver nanoparticles and their applications (2012, positive): “It has been shown by Prathna et al. (2011) in the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles by Citrus limon (lemon) aqueous extract that by increasing the mixing ratio between plant biomass and metal solutions, nanoparticles with smaller size were formed.”
