Nanomaterials in plant tissue culture: the disclosed and undisclosed

Abstract

Nanomaterial integration into tissue culture for prospective uninterrupted progressive plant tissue culture.

Modulation of callus growth and secondary metabolites in different Thymus species and Zataria multiflora micropropagated under ZnO nanoparticles stress

“…The seeds of three accessions from Thymus genus ( T. vulgaris , T. daenensis , and T. kotschyanus ) and Z. multiflora (two accessions) were collected from different geographical regions of Iran including T. vulgaris (Marvdasht, Fars, Iran), T. daensis (Aligoodarz, Lorestan, Iran), T. kotschyanus (Lahijan, Gilan, Iran), Z. multiflora (Dehbala, Yazd, Iran), and Z. multiflora (Abadeh, Fars, Iran). The accessions were identified using Flora Iranica by the experts of “Pakan Bazr,” a Botanical Research Institute in Isfahan, Iran.…”

“…Nanotechnology has increasingly entered various areas of plant biotechnology and has enormous applications in the fields of food, cosmetics, and medicine . Nanoparticles (NPs) are potent chemical elicitors as signaling agents that effect a great diversity of physiological and biochemical processes in plant metabolism and plant secondary metabolites production . NPs are capable of increasing cell membrane permeability, stimulating defensive mechanisms in plant cells, and subsequent increase in secondary metabolites content .…”

“…Recent studies have shown that plant growth, development, and physiology are significantly affected by NPs; however, their role on plant secondary metabolism, especially regarding callus culture, is still obscure . The inclusion of NPs to tissue culture media could enhance the morphogenetic potential of explants , somaclonal variation , and changes the content of bioactive compounds . For instance, the content of important drugs like diosgenin and hyperforin is enhanced in cell cultures treated with NPs.…”

Enhancement of somaclonal variations and genetic diversity using graphite nanoparticles (GtNPs) in sweet potato plants

“…The chemical composition, concentration, size and physical properties of NPs can determine their efficiency on plants (Ma et al, 2010;Khodakovskaya et al, 2012). Nanoparticles application led to the induction of microbefree explants and demonstrated the positive role of NPs in callus induction, organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, somaclonal variation, genetic transformation and secondary metabolite production (Kim et al, 2017).…”

Use of Nanoparticles Based on Metals in the Composition of Modified Media for Microclonal Reproduction of Woody Plants: Preliminary Results

“…В последнее время был продемонстрирован потенциал использования наночастиц в микроклональном размножении растений. НЧ влияли на культуры растительных клеток и в связи с этим могут существенно повлиять на различные аспекты биотехнологии растений, в том числе методы дезинфекции клеточных культур, дифференцировки каллуса, генетических трансформаций, сомаклональных вариаций и производства вторичных метаболитов [12]. Примером могут служить результаты экспериментов с НЧ серебра [13,14], применяемых для дезинфекции эксплантов.…”
