Physiological impact of phyto-synthesized Ananas comosus L. var. queen crown extract silver bionanoparticle on the storage grain moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton)
Keywords:
Ananas comosus, Bio-efficacy, Corcyra cephalonica, Protein concentration, Silver bionanoparticles.Abstract
In the present study, biosynthesis of silver bionanoparticles, its characterization and effect of the synthesized biogenic silver bionanoparticles on storage pest Corcyra cephalonica were investigated. Using the aqueous extract of the crown of Ananas comosus, silver bionanoparticles were rapidly synthesized and the reduction of Ag+ to Ag0 was observed within 30 minutes. Results obtained from UV-visible spectrum, FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDAX supported the synthesis and characteristics of silver bionanoparticles. Further, the bio-efficacy of the synthesized silver bionanoparticles was checked on the storage pest Corcyra cephalonica, by observing the developmental stage in all the experimental groups and protein content of various tissues, namely epidermis, fat body, gut and hemolymph. The protein content of different larval tissues gradually decreased with increasing concentrations (0.005, 0.015, 0.025, 0.035 and 0.045%) of synthesized silver bionanoparticles. The results highlight the strong potential of aqueous crown extract for the synthesis of silver bionanoparticles and its ability to prolong the developmental stages or as a preventive measure, which may be due to its interference in various metabolic pathways of C. cephalonica.
