BELLO-BELLO, Jericó Jabín y SPINOSO-CASTILLO, José Luis. Use of silver nanoparticles in plant micropropagation. Mundo nano [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.30, e00063. Epub 14-Ago-2023. ISSN 2448-5691. https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485691e.2023.30.69692.
Micropropagation or in vitro propagation is the asexual propagation of plants using plant tissue culture (PTC) techniques. Despite the advantages of these techniques, the explants contamination, the asepsis in culture medium and the in vitro accumulation of ethylene in some species, have been a problem that affects the micropropagation. The recent application of silver nanoparticles (NPsAg) in micropropagation has become an effective tool for solving these issues. In addition, in laboratory studies it has been showed that NPsAg, at low concentrations, have a dose-respond effect on plant development, define as hormesis. In this article we reviewed the NPsAg effects on contamination reduction, inhibition of ethylene effects and development stimulation during micropropagation. Besides, they are an alternative to others applications in PTC and modern agriculture.
