Abstract

Research progress and level of interest have occurred since the discovery of nanotechnology in December 1959. Plant in vitro culture is increasingly in demand because of its potential for applying this technology on industrial production scales. For instance, adding nanoparticles is essential to improve secondary plant metabolites. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been recognized as abiotic elicitors that function as signaling agents regulating numerous processes in plant metabolism, including antibacterial activities, secondary metabolite enhancement, and increasing plant biomass and productivity. This review highlights and summarizes current attempts to evaluate the application of AgNPS through the plant in vitro culture to enhance secondary plant metabolites. Here, we focus on medicinal plants and industrial crops: Stevia rebaudiana and Saccharum spp. We emphasized this study review on the impact of AgNPs supplementation on plant growth, physiological, and phytochemical aspects. Interestingly, the use of AgNPs is tightly correlated with their concentrations. This updated review might provide a new perspective and alternative tools to enhance plant productivity and has the potential to be developed for the commercial manufacture of pharmacologically active metabolites.
