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].
