Melatonin-enhanced biosynthesis of antimicrobial AgNPs by improving the phytochemical reducing potential of a callus culture of Ocimum basilicum L. var. thyrsiflora

Abstract

We describe the synthesis of AgNPs using<italic>Ocimum basilicum</italic>L. var.<italic>thyrsiflora</italic>leaf derived callus extracts formed in response to thidiazuron alone and a combination of TDZ melatonin which act both as reducing and stabilizing agents.
