Comparison of the toxicity of silver nanoparticles and silver ions on the growth of terrestrial plant model Arabidopsis thaliana

H Qian, X Peng, X Han, J Ren, L Sun, Z Fu - Journal of environmental …, 2013 - Elsevier
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most widely used nanomaterials, but the
mechanism of AgNP toxicity in terrestrial plants is still unclear. We compared the toxic effects
of AgNPs and Ag+ on Arabidopsis thaliana at the physiological, ultrastructural and
molecular levels. AgNPs did not affect seed germination; however, they showed stronger
inhibitory effect on root elongation than Ag+. The results of transmission electron microscopy
and metal content analysis showed that AgNPs could be accumulated in leaves. These …
