We have investigated the capability of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to penetrate the call wall and cell membrane of Intact plant cells. Confocal fluorescence Images revealed the cellular uptake of both SWNT/fluorescein isothiocyanate and SWNT/DNA conjugates, demonstrating that SWNTs also hold great promise as nanotransporters for walled plant cells. Moreover, the result suggested that SWNTs could deliver different cargoes into different plant cell organelles.
