Abstract

The recent technological advancement in nanotechnology has opened new avenues for research and development in the field of herbal and medicinal plants biology. Development of reliable and eco-friendly processes for synthesis of nanoparticles is an important step for introduction of applications of nanotechnology into herbal research. In the past decade, there has been much concern about the methodological advancement of technology for synthesis and characterization of herbal and medicinal plants mediated nanoparticles. The present article provides a comprehensive review on the recent advances brought into methodology for biological and eco-friendly synthesis and characterization of herbal and medicinal plants mediated nanoparticles.

Keywords
