Postharvest application of single, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and nanographene oxide improves rose keeping quality

Masoumeh Ahmadi-Majd et al.

Summary: The postharvest application of single-walled, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and nanographene oxide can improve the keeping quality of roses, with single-walled carbon nanotubes promoting water uptake and nanographene oxide inhibiting chlorophyll degradation and lipid peroxidation. Both nanomaterials enhance antioxidant status, while single-walled carbon nanotubes additionally improve water relations.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes prevent high temperature-induced damage by activating the ascorbate-glutathione cycle in Paeonia ostii T. Hong et J. X. Zhang

Daqiu Zhao et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the beneficial role of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in enhancing the growth performance of Paeonia ostii under high temperature conditions. MWCNTs prevented oxidative damage and activated the ASA-GSH cycle in response to high temperature stress, leading to improved high-temperature tolerance and enhanced photosynthesis. Additionally, the upregulation of genes related to the ASA-GSH cycle further supported the protective effects of MWCNTs on P. ostii under high temperature.

Effects of Postharvest Treatments with Nanosilver on Senescence of Cut Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shinn.) Flowers

Ewa Skutnik et al.

Summary: The experiments showed that the nanosilver (NS) preservative with sucrose extended the vase life of lisianthus flowers more effectively than the standard preservative containing 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (8-HQC) and sucrose (S). Conditioning did not have a significant effect on flower longevity, but NS + S solution had the highest water uptake intensity and transpiration rate. Conditioning reduced the fresh weight of the flowers, but did not induce the accumulation of soluble or reducing sugars in petals.

Antimicrobial and anti-adhesive properties of carbon nanotube-based surfaces for medical applications: a systematic review

Rita Teixeira-Santos et al.

Summary: The study found that surfaces containing modified CNTs, especially CNTs conjugated with different polymers, exhibited strong antimicrobial and anti-adhesive properties, protecting cells from protein adsorption. However, due to the unresolved toxicity of CNTs on the human body, they cannot yet compete with traditional strategies in fighting biofilms. This review may be helpful for the development of new engineered medical surfaces.

Hydrogen gas increases the vase life of cut rose 'Movie star' by regulating bacterial community in the stem ends

Hua Fang et al.

Summary: The study showed that hydrogen gas has significant effects on postharvest preservation of cut roses by regulating the bacterial community on the stem ends, consequently prolonging vase life and improving ornamental quality. High-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene confirmed an increase in beneficial bacteria abundances on the stem-end cut surface due to hydrogen-rich water.

Partitioning of transpiration to cut flower organs and its mediating role on vase life response to dry handling: A case study in chrysanthemum

Dimitrios Fanourakis et al.

Summary: The study found that variations in vase life response to prior desiccation in cut chrysanthemum were mainly attributed to differences in leaf stomatal characteristics among different cultivars. Decreased whole-cut flower transpiration during dehydration was associated with low vase life decrease in response to prior desiccation.

Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Modify Leaf Micromorphology, Chloroplast Ultrastructure and Photosynthetic Activity of Pea Plants

Violeta Velikova et al.

Summary: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have shown promising applications in biomedicine, pharmacology, and precision agriculture. Our study revealed that SWCNTs have a concentration-dependent effect on photosynthesis, with lower doses being beneficial for plant growth, while higher doses may impair photosynthetic function. Therefore, SWCNTs could be a potential nanocarrier for substances beneficial for plant growth in the future.

Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes Promote the Growth of Maize (Zea mays) by Regulating Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in Leaves

Yanmei Hu et al.

Summary: The study found that 100 mg/L MWCNTs can enhance maize growth by upregulating key enzymes involved in carbon and nitrogen metabolism, leading to increased accumulation of carbohydrates, proteins, and nitrogen in plants. This provides insight into the molecular mechanism of how MWCNTs positively affect plant growth and offers a basis for potential agricultural applications.

The Effect of Carbon Nanomaterials on Senescence of Cut Flowers in Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.)

Di Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that fullerenes and graphene quantum dots can prolong the lifespan of carnations by approximately 10%, while single-walled carbon nanotubes can block vascular tissue and decrease lifespan. Additionally, fullerenes and graphene quantum dots can effectively inhibit the generation of hydroxyl radicals, delaying cellular aging.

Inhibition of browning problem during the callogenesis of Spartium junceum L.

Mina Taghizadeh et al.

Summary: The study focused on preventing browning and contamination in Spartium junceum nodal explants during in vitro culture. It found that a combination of 70% ethanol (30s) and 20% home bleach (10min) was most effective in controlling contamination and browning. Additionally, the use of 0.5% PVP in the medium helped control browning during callus induction, and optimal callus formation was achieved with a medium supplemented with 0.5 mg L-1 2,4-D under dark conditions.
