Abstract:
The marsh lands aquatic plant are thoroughly reported to contain various types of phytochemicals including polyphenolic compounds like flavonoids and tannins, alkaloids and glycosides, terpens, sugars, polysaccharides, vitamins, and proteins that are mostly exhibit antioxidant activity due to their structural reducing functionalities. Thus, their extracts are extensively reported to be used as reducing and/or capping agents for eco-friendly bio-synthesis of various elements nanoparticles of multiple biological influences. This survey is conducted to explore the utilization of aqueous and other extracts of aquatic plants detected in the marshlands southern of Iraq including Typha, Ranunculus, Potamogeton, Nymphaea, Nasturtium, Mentha species, Ceratophyllum demersum, Ranunculus laetus and Bacopa monnieri, besides, the biological activities of the synthesized nanoparticles.
