Özet
Silver nanoparticles have recently become the most frequently encountered nanomaterials in many areas of biotechnology. They are known as eco-friendly nanomaterials and have some important impacts on plant growth. Their effects on seed germinations and biomass accumulations have rarely been investigated and remain unclear yet. In this study, clove-derived biosynthetic silver nanoparticles, at 1, 4, 7 and 10 mg/L concentrations were applied to determine the effects on seed germination and the growth of seedlings of Linum usitatissimum in in vitro conditions. The seed germination percentages were irresponsive to the rising concentration of biosynthetic silver nanoparticles. The addition of nanoparticles into the culture media increased the biomass accumulation in L. usitatissimum seedlings. Root and shoot fresh weights were enhanced 3.8 times and 1.6 times higher in 10 mg/L silver nanoparticle-added medium, respectively. Root and shoot dry weights were also enhanced in coordination with the ascending silver nanoparticle concentrations. The highest shoot fresh weight was approximately 1.2 times higher than the control group. The results exhibit the positive effects of biosynthetic silver nanoparticles on L. usitatissimum growth and suggest that eco-friendly biosynthetic silver nanoparticles can be used as plant biomass enhancers. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
