Cont-Control, SNP-Biogenic silver nanoparticles lone, AB-A. brassicicola infected plants, AB+SNP-A. brassicicola infected, treated with SNP, FW-fresh weight, DW-Dry weight. Values are the means ± SD of three replicates. Means sharing different alphabets “a”, “b” differ significantly from each other at p ≤ 0.05.
