“…By increasing the number of atoms on a surface, the total free energy will also increase, which can alter certain characteristics of the materials. Nanoparticles have the potential to be used as novel effective elicitors in plant biotechnology for the elicitation of secondary metabolites' production (Fakruddin et al, 2012). The study of Zhang et al (2013) highlighted the potential of nanosilver particles as a novel effective elicitor in plant biotechnology for the production of plant secondary metabolites.…”

“…This dipole moment triggers an electric field and with enough strength it can stimulate the opening of ion channels. Dipole moment occurs because of the charge separation between the electron and hole in the exciton of the QD (Figure 3) [14].…”
