| Description |
The aim of this review is to critically analyze the role of
silver nitrate (AgNO3) in modulating plant growth and
development. In recent years, basic studies on ethylene
regulation opened new vistas for applied research in the
area of micro-propagation, somatic embryogenesis, in
vitro flowering, growth promotion, fruit ripening, and
sex expression. Silver nitrate has proved to be a very
potent inhibitor of ethylene action and is widely used in
plant tissue culture. Few properties of silver nitrate
such as easy availability, solubility in water, specificity
and stability make it very useful for various applications
in exploiting plant growth regulation and
morphogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Silver ion mediated
responses seem to be involved in polyamines, ethyleneand
calcium- mediated pathways, and play a crucial
role in regulating physiological process including
morphogenesis. The molecular basis for regulation of
morphogenesis under the influence of silver nitrate is
completely lacking. This review compiles published
reports of silver nitrate-mediated in vitro and in vivo
studies and focuses on fundamental and applied aspects
of plant growth modulation under the influence of silver
nitrate.
