Enzymatic synthesis of silver nanoparticles: Mechanisms and applications

Biosynthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles by Caricaceae (Papaya) shell extracts for antifungal application

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs) were prepared by Caricaceae (Papaya) Shell extracts. The Nanoparticles were analyzed by UV–Vis spectrums, X-ray diffractions, and energy-dispersive X-rays spectroscopy analyses with a scanning electron microscope. An antifungal study was carried out for TiO₂ NP in contradiction of S. sclerotiorums, R. necatrixs and Fusarium classes that verified a sophisticated inhibitions ratio for S. sclerotiorums (60.5%). Germs of pea were individually preserved with numerous concentrations of TiO₂ NPs. An experience of TiO₂ NPs (20%, 40%, 80% and 100%), as well as mechanisms that instigated momentous alterations in seed germinations, roots interval, shoot lengths, and antioxidant enzymes, were investigated. Associated with controls, the supreme seeds germinations, roots and plant growth were perceived with the treatments of TiO₂ NPs. Super-oxide dis-mutase and catalase activities increased because of TiO₂ NPs treatments. This advocates that TiO₂ Nanoparticles may considerably change antioxidant metabolisms in seed germinations.
