TL;DR: It was found that citric acid was the principal reducing agent for the nanosynthesis process and the probable stabilizing agent for silver nanoparticles as demonstrated by FT-IR spectral studies.

TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles could penetrate plant system and may impair stages of cell division causing chromatin bridge, stickiness, disturbed metaphase, multiple chromosomal breaks and cell disintegration, and the findings suggest that plants as an important component of the ecosystems need to be included when evaluating the overall toxicological impact of the nanoparticles in the environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of process variables like reductant concentrations, reaction pH, mixing ratio of the reactants and interaction time on the morphology and size of silver nanoparticles synthesized using aqueous extract of Azadirachta indica (Neem) leaves was investigated.

TL;DR: Basil oil (Ocimum basilicum) nanoemulsion was formulated using non-ionic surfactant Tween80 and water by ultrasonic emulsification method and evaluated for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli by kinetics of killing experiment.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that ZnO NPs can be a clastogenic/genotoxic and cytotoxic agent and the A. cepa cytogenetic test can be used for the genotoxicity monitoring of novel nanomaterials, which is used in many consumer products.
