Nanopriming technology for enhancing germination and starch metabolism of aged rice seeds using phytosynthesized silver nanoparticles

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 7(1)

Published: Aug. 9, 2017

Application of nanomaterials for agriculture is relatively new as compared to their use in biomedical and industrial sectors. In order promote sustainable nanoagriculture, biocompatible silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been synthesized through green route using kaffir lime leaf extract nanopriming agent enhancing seed germination rice aged seeds. Results various characterization techniques showed the successful formation AgNPs which were capped with phytochemicals present plant extract. Rice seeds primed phytosynthesized at 5 10 ppm significantly improved performance seedling vigor unprimed control, AgNO3 priming, conventional hydropriming. Nanopriming could enhance α-amylase activity, resulting higher soluble sugar content supporting seedlings growth. Furthermore, stimulated up-regulation aquaporin genes germinating Meanwhile, more ROS production was observed treatment control other priming treatments, suggesting that both aquaporins play important roles germination. Different mechanisms underlying nanopriming-induced proposed, including creation nanopores enhanced water uptake, rebooting ROS/antioxidant systems seeds, generation hydroxyl radicals cell wall loosening, nanocatalyst fastening starch hydrolysis.

Nutrient deficiency in food crops is seriously affecting human health, especially those the rural areas, and nanotechnology may become most sustainable approach to alleviating this challenge. There are several ways of fortifying nutrients such as dietary diversification, use drugs industrial fortification. However, affordability sustainability these methods have not been completely achieved. Plants absorb from fertilizers, but conventional fertilizers low nutrient uptake efficiency. Nanofertilizers are, therefore, engineered be target oriented easily lost. This review surveys effects addition macro- nanonutrients soil, interaction, absorption capability plants, environmental effect content nutrients.
