Phytoremediation of AgNPs.

Plant	Type of NPs	Description	Effect	Reference
Phragmites australis	AgNPs	It accumulated silver only in roots and in leaves and stems there was no metal accumulation	Phytoremediation in estuarine areas, Phytostabilization	[49]
Pistia stratiotes	AgNPs	Extracted silver from source in short period of time, Easy handling and can be used in polyculture	Phytoremediation of water source	[51]
Egeria densa	AgNPs	Plants absorbed AgNPs at concentrations as low as 5 ppm, bioaccumulation proportional to concentration of NPs	Phytoremediation of water source	[56]
Phanerochaete chrysosporium	AgNPs	Uptake of NPs in presence of cysteine amino acids	Phytoremediation of aquatic source	[144]
Zea mays	AgNPs	NPs increase the bioremediation potential of three PGPRs isolated from municipal wastewater	Phytoremediation of municipal wastewater	[134]
Ipomoea carnea, Plantago major, Camellia sinensis	AgNPs	Green synthesized NPs from few medicinal plants displayed bioremediation potential	Fipronil (an insecticide) contaminated water	[145]
Lagerstroemia speciosa	AgNPs	methyl orange and methylene blue showing 310- and 290-min degradation time, respectively	methyl orange and methylene blue dyes	[146]
Aloe barbedensis, Azadirachta indica and Coriandrum sativum	AgNPs and CuNPs	Green synthesized NPs from three plants decontaminated naphthalene in water	Wastewater remediation	[147]
