Abstract: 

The research was crried out in the plant tissue culture laboratory and the green house of Department of plant Biotechnology in College of Biotechnology/AL-Nahrain University. The aim of it, is the Green-synthesis of silver nanoparticles by using an aqueous extract of Citrus aurantium leaves and characterizied the silver nanoparticles, using visible method depend on colour changing of the solution(mixture of aqueous extract of C. aurantium leaves and 1mMol of AgNO₃ under 60C ̊), UV-Visible spectroscopy method and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), then study the effects of foliar spray of of AgNPs on some vegetative and physiological characteristics of Fenugreek Plant (Trigonella foenum- graecum L.), such as fresh and dry weight, length of shoot, carbohydrates, proteins and proline. The result showed the positive effect of using AgNPs on these characteristics.
