Effect of SiO2 NPs on increase of active compounds in leave callus of Tagetes erecta L. (Marigold) plant in vitro.

Abstract

The present study was conducted in order to increase the production of some secondary metabolic compounds of Marigold plant Tagetes erecta L.invitro. Secondary metabolic compounds quantitative and qualitative analysis using chromatography device with high performance liquid (HPLC) and compared with the mother plant. In order to increase the production of secondary metabolites, silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles used with concentrations (con, 50, 100,150,200 mg/l). The results showed that the most concentrations of (SiO2) NPs led to high significant in the most secondary metabolites from leave callus of Tagetes erecta L.
