Description Nanobiotechnology deals with the synthesis of nanostructures using living organisms. Among the use of living organisms for
nanoparticle synthesis, plants have found application particularly inmetal nanoparticle synthesis. Use of plants for synthesis of
nanoparticles could be advantageous over other environmentally benign biological processes as this eliminates the elaborate
process of maintaining cell cultures. Biosynthetic processes for nanoparticles would be more useful if nanoparticles were
produced extracellularly using plants or their extracts and in a controlledmanner according to their size, dispersity and shape.
Plant use can also be suitably scaled up for large-scale synthesis of nanoparticles. In view of this,we have reviewed here the use
of plants or their extracts in the synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles for various human applications.
