In the current research zinc (Zn) NPs synthesis was carried out by using the fresh and healthy leaves of\n                    <jats:italic>Mentha arvensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    L. followed by characterisation through ultraviolet (UV)\u2013visible spectroscopy, X\u2010ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). UV\u2013visible spectroscopy confirmed the green synthesis of ZnNPs, while XRD confirmed the size of NPs, which was 30\u201370\u00a0nm. SEM shows that the shape of ZnNPs was irregular. The effects of green synthesised NPs on two different varieties of\n                    <jats:italic>Brassica napus<\/jats:italic>\n                    were evaluated. Exposure to ZnNPs (5, 15, and 25\u00a0mg\/l\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) caused a significant increase in root and shoot length of\n                    <jats:italic>B. napus.<\/jats:italic>\n                    The application of NPs significantly improved plant germination and triggered the production of secondary metabolite and antioxidant enzymes. ZnNPs showed a significant increase in chlorophyll, superoxide dismutase, total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant enzymes while total phenolic content was decreased when TFC increased. Thus, it has been concluded from the current study that ZnNPs may possibly trigger the production of antioxidant enzymes and various biochemical compounds.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1049\/iet-nbt.2018.5012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,29]],"date-time":"2018-08-29T06:49:06Z","timestamp":1535525346000},"page":"46-51","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["<i>In vitro<\/i>\n                    germination and biochemical profiling of\n                    <i>Brassica napus<\/i>\n                    in response to biosynthesised zinc nanoparticles"],"prefix":"10.1049","volume":"13","author":[{"family":"Sohail","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi 46300 Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Umme","family":"Amara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi 46300 Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salma","family":"Shad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry Hazara University Mansehra Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noshin","family":"Ilyas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi 46300 Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdul","family":"Manaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi 46300 Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naveed Iqbal","family":"Raja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi 46300 Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zia\u2010ur\u2010Rehman","family":"Mashwani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi 46300 Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"265","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1049\/iet-nbt.2015.0039"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-9781(03)00174-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2011.01.040"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2010.04.078"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/jf040045"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/59.5.1166S"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0278-6915(95)00017-V"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2009.10.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","first-page":"166","volume-title":"The new Oxford book of food plants","author":"Vaughan J.G.","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/jf990146l"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/jf9913458"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0891-5849(02)00883-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/17435390.2011.562327"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11270-008-9797-6"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","first-page":"9","article-title":"Metal nanoparticles and plants","volume":"20","author":"Masarovicova E.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ecol.
