ABSTRACT

The recent development and implementation of new technologies have led to new era, the nano- revolution which unfolds role of plants in bio and green synthesis of nanoparticles which seem to have drawn quite an unequivocal attention with a view of synthesizing stable nanoparticles. Although nanoparticles can be synthesized through array of conventional methods biological route of synthesizing are good competent over the physical and chemical techniques. Green principle route of synthesizing have emerged as alternative to overcome the limitation of conventional methods among which plant and microorganisms are majorly exploited. Plants extracts provide rapid, cost effective and eco-friendly sources for fabrication of metallic nanoparticles. Employing plants towards synthesis of nanoparticles are emerging as advantageous compared to microbes with the presence of broad variability of bio-molecules in plants can act as capping and reducing agents and thus increases the rate of reduction and stabilization of nanoparticles. Biological synthesized nanoparticles have upsurge applications in various sectors. Hence this review envisions on biosynthesis of nanoparticles from plants which are emerging as nanofactories.
