Exposure of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana B.) to silver nanoparticles in vitro: transport and accumulation

Abstract The impact of nanotechnology in the field of agricultural sciences creates the need to study in greater detail the effect of products offering nanoparticles for application in plant species of agricultural interest. The objective of this study was to determine the response of stevia (Stevia...
