Title A name given to the resource Tb-doped strontium aluminate nanophosphor: Cytotoxicity, phytotoxicity, and bioimaging in plant cells Subject The topic of the resource Cytotoxicity; Phosphor; Phytotoxicity; Plant cell imaging; Strontium aluminate Description An account of the resource This study explores the novel application of terbium-doped strontium aluminate nanoparticles for fluorescence imaging in plant cells. The study encompasses microwave assisted solid state synthesis as well as the structural and optical characterization of terbium-doped strontium aluminate nanophosphors, their toxicity studies in plant and animal cells and their use as a fluorescent dye for plant imaging. The X-ray diffraction pattern analysis, along with Rietveld refinement studies, show the formation of SrAl2O4 as a dominant crystalline phase. Photoluminescence investigations demonstrate green emission from Tb3+ transition levels. In vitro biocompatibility of terbium-doped strontium aluminate nanophosphors was studied using L929 fibroblast cells. The plant Clitoria ternatea was used to examine phytotoxicity. The samples' potential for bioimaging was further investigated. Our findings reveal improved growth of seedlings, positioning these nanoparticles as promising tools in plant-related research. This study advances our understanding of nanoparticle-plant interactions and holds potential for transformative applications in agriculture. 2024 The Authors Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Thomas N.M.; George N.; Viji M.O.; Anila E.I.
