• The mechanism of metal nanoparticle formation in plants: limits on accumulation (2009, background): “Metal nanoparticles in plants have been observed for gold (Anderson et al. 1998; Sharma et al. 2007; Gardea-Torresdey et al. 2002 ), silver (Harris and Bali 2008; Brown et al. 1962), copper (Manceau et al. 2008), and of an alloy of gold–silver–copper (Haverkamp et al. 2007).”
• Biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles using plant derivatives and their new avenues in pharmacological applications – An updated report (2014, background): “The fungal cell membrane structure significant changes were observed by treating it with metallic nanoparticles (Gardea-Torresdey et al., 2002).”
• Biosynthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles by natural precursor clove and their functionalization with amine group (2010, methodology): “Amidst various methods for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, one approach which is often termed as ‘green method of growth of nanoparticles’ relies on the use of natural precursor (Shankar et al. 2003; Mandal et al. 2006; Gardea-Torresdey et al. 2002).”
• Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Extracts of Ananas comosus (2012, background): “Thus, the advantages of using plant and plant-derived materials for biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles have instigated researchers to investigate mechanisms of metal ions uptake and bioreduction by plants, and to understand the possible mechanism of metal nanoparticle formation in and by the plants”
• Potential of plant as a biological factory to synthesize gold and silver nanoparticles and their applications (2012, background): “Soft metal like Au(III) existing in the form of [AuCl4] - prefers to bind to the biomass mainly through soft ligands such as amino and sulfhydryl groups, especially when the soft ligands are positively charged at low pH (Gardea-Torresdey et al. 2002b; Shankar et al. 2004a).”
• Nanotechnology in agri-food production: an overview (2014, positive): “nanoparticles can be mechanically separated by dissolving the organic material (plant tissue) following harvest.(263)”
