Abstract:

Nanotechnology is one of the most important emerging technique to control the metal toxicity of soil and water. Ameliorating potential of silver nanoparticles against the cadmium stress in the callus culture of Saccharum officinarum (cvs. HSF 240) was studied under in-vitro condition. Fresh young inner whorls of leaves were used as explant to induce the callus on the MS basal medium supplemented with 3mg/l of 2, 4-D. The Cd was applied in five different concentrations 0.1. 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mM. The low concentration of cadmium (0.1 and 0.2 mM) increased the avarage weight of callus. Application of Silver nanoparticles (20ppm and 40ppm) mitigate the cadmium stress and maximum average weight of callus (1g) was observe at 40 ppm of silver nanoparticles. These results suggest that AgNPs lower the formation of ROS and promote the growth of callus by increasing nutrient uptake from the media.
