Abstract

The    present    studies    were    conducted    to    develop    in    vitro    cost-effective    micropropagation,    ex    vitro    seed    germination,    and    the    effectiveness    of    green    ZnO    nanoparticles    on    Zinnia    elegans.    Cost-effective    micropropagation    was    performed    using    three    types    of    media.    MS1    medium    supplemented    with    (NAA    0.5mg/l    and    BA    1mg/l),    MS2    medium    supplemented    with    (NAA    0.5mg/l    and    BA    1.5    mg/l),    and    Isabgol    cost-effective    media    supplemented    with    (0.5mg/l    NAA    and    BA    1    mg/l)    were    used    for    in    vitro    establishment    of    the    culture.    Tap    water    was    used    instead    of    distilled    water    and    table    sugar    instead    of    sucrose    powder    for    production.    It    was    observed    that    the    production    rate    is    slower    than    with    standard    MS    media.    Ex-    vitro    seed    germination    was    done    on    the    best    six    plants    of    Zinnia    elegans.    Data    was    noted    for    seed    germination    percentage,    seed    vigour,    Max    average    shoot    length,    Max    average    root    length,    and    Max    average    secondary    root    length.    P-value,    dry    weight,    and    wet    weight    of    an    ex-vitro    seed    germination    were    noted    down.    Effects    of    green    ZnO    nanoparticles    on    Ex-    vitro    seed    germination    were    obtained    by    using    three    plant    extracts    Rhododendron    arboretum,    Cannabis    sativa,    and    Santalum    album.
