Chapter 21 Use of plants in biotechnology: Synthesis of metal nanoparticles by inactivated plant tissues, plant extracts, and living plants

The synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant-derived materials is a simple yet effective method for the production of nanoparticles and proven that biological materials provide an environmentally friendly or green chemistry method to produce invaluable materials because the biosynthesis eliminates the need to use harsh or toxic chemicals.
