Silver nanoparticles are increasingly common in modern technology. Their use in applications such as fertilizers and makeups may provide them with a pathway into runoff. However, little is known about the impact of the silver in this runoff on ecosystems. Bok choy (<i>Brassica rapa</i>) has not been the subject of many studies, due in part to its slower growth cycle, making it an interesting candidate to examine. A method to examine silver concentration in plant leaves will be identified and optimized for use examining the uptake of silver nanoparticles in bok choy. The impact of silver uptake in bok choy on root length and height will also be investigated.
