The authors have overlooked a few mistakes when rearranging the Table 1 and Table 2 and references at the final stages, which were carried-over to the published version of the review. Consequently the authors wish to make at this time the following corrections to the paper [1]:
Table 1.
Plant components possibly involved in the green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) from various plant species.
| Plant Species | NPs | Metabolites Identified in the Extract/NPs | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ocimum sanctum | Ag | Eugenols, linalool, terpenes | [49] |
| Helianthus annuus | Ag | Fatty acids, triglycerides, phenolics, tocopherols | [54] |
| Solanum xanthocarpum | Ag | Alcohols, phenols, carboxylic anions | [67] |
| Morinda pubescens | Ag | Flavonoids, triterpenoids, polyphenols | [71] |
| Carica papaya | Ag | Proteins, alcohols, phenolics | [72] |
| Piper betle | Ag | Amide, aromatic amine | [84] |
| Eucalyptus | Fe | Alcohol, phenols, alkylaldehyde | [81] |
Table 2.
Bioactivities of green-synthesized NPs.
| NPs | Plant Species Used | Bioactivity Reported | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ag | Lansium domesticum | Antibacterial | [104] |
Page 11, final paragraph: Citation [208] should be read as [218].
