Abstract

Nanomaterials and nanotechnology have garnered significant attention in the realm of agricultural production. Carbon dots (CDs), as a class of nanomaterials, play a crucial role in the field of plant growth due to their excellent properties. This review aims to summarize recent achievements on CDs, focusing on their methods of preparation and applications in plants systems. The effects of CDs on seed germination, growth, photosynthesis, nutritional quality, and stress resistance were studied. It has been demonstrated that CDs can promote seed germination and growth, as well as improve photosynthetic efficiency, ultimately leading to increase plants yield. The nutritional quality of the plants treated with CDs was significantly improved. Specifically, the levels of essential mineral elements, vitamins, amino acids, and other constituents that are beneficial to human health increased notably. Additionally, CDs show positive effects on augmenting plant resistance against environmental stresses, such as drought conditions, heavy metal toxicity, and high salinity. Finally, the prospects and challenges of the application of CDs in plant systems are also discussed, which provide a scientific basis for the future application of CDs in agricultural production.

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
