Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles as a Stress Alleviator in Plants: A Mechanistic Overview

Fozia Abasi et al.

Summary: The growth and yield of crops are currently limited by global ecological stresses. Biogenic generation of nanomaterials plays an important role in the development of environmentally friendly nanotechnology. Silver-based nanomaterials have shown significant physical, chemical, and biological features, making them highly applicable. Green synthesized Ag nanomaterials are considered eco-friendly and environmentally biocompatible, and can enhance crop yield by reducing stress. Climate change, including droughts, altered precipitation, salinity, and increased temperature, has resulted in decreased crop yields worldwide. The role of biogenic Ag nanomaterials in enhancing stress tolerance in plants has been well studied, but the specifics of silver nanomaterials-mediated stress tolerance have not been thoroughly reviewed. Therefore, there is a need to better understand plant responses to stress conditions and utilize Ag nanoparticles to enhance crop tolerance. This review article discusses the mechanistic approach of biogenic Ag nanomaterials in alleviating stresses, and evaluates the most significant activities of exogenous Ag nanomaterials in enhancing plant tolerance to salt, low and high temperature, and drought stresses.
