Nanopriming Using Plastic-Derived Carbon Nanomaterials: Boosting Growth and Salt Tolerance of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

“…Nevertheless, CD and CNT priming at both concentrations still demonstrated positive effects on facilitating pea seed germination. Conversely, several prior studies showed the inhibitory effects of CDs and CNTs at higher concentrations on seed germination and plant growth. Besides, there is a significant increase of moisture content in seeds primed with CNM solutions when compared to the control (Figure b), indicating elevated water uptake capability of seeds during nanopriming.…”

Plant-based carbon dots are a sustainable alternative to conventional nanomaterials for biomedical and sensing applications

“…In recent years, nanotechnology has witnessed a revolution with the rise of plant-based carbon dots (CDs)these tiny nanoparticles [1][2][3]. Composed of carbon and boasting functional surface groups, it has a diameter of fewer than 10 nanometers.…”

Synthetic strategies, properties and sensing application of multicolor carbon dots: recent advances and future challenges

“…Since then, developing fascinating CDs with versatile properties has received great attention in many fields. [7][8][9][10][11] The most predominant characteristic of CDs is that they have remarkable properties, such as tunable photoluminescence, 12 high fluorescence quantum yield (QY), 13,14 ease of surface functionalization, 15 good aqueous solubility, 16 superior biocompatibility, 17 and high photostability, 18,19 have received immense research attention, which enables CDs to be an excellent alternative to semiconductor quantum dots (QD) with a wide variety of promising applications in the fields of sensing, 20 bioimaging, 21 biomedicine, 22 electronic devices, 23 and anti-counterfeiting. 24 In the initial development stage of CDs, the main research focuses on the preparation of carbon dots, utilizing a large number of carbon sources and numerous approaches.…”
