Nematicidal Potential of Green Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Aqueous Root Extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra.

ABSTRACT: Meloidogyne incognita (root-knot nematode) is a devastating soil-borne pathogen which can infect almost all cultivated plants around the globe, expediting huge pecuniary losses. The purpose of current study was to use the aqueous root extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (GRAgNPs) and assess their nematicidal potential against M. incognita by in vitro methods, including hatching inhibition and mortality assays. The active uptake of FITC labeled GRAgNPs by the nematode and their effect on the expression of selected genes involved in oxidative stress and DNA damage repair were also studied. An HRTEM micrograph confirmed their spherical morphology with sizes ranging from 9.61 nm to 34.735 nm. Complete inhibition of egg-hatching was observed after 48 h of treatme
