We report investigations on the use of graphene quantum dots for growth enhancement in coriander (Coriandrum sativam L.) and garlic (Allium sativum) plants. The as-received seeds of coriander and garlic were treated with 0.2 mg mL(-1) of graphene quantum dots for 3 h before planting.
Graphene quantum dots enhanced the growth rate in coriander and garlic plants, including leaves, roots, shoots, flowers and fruits, when the seeds were treated with graphene quantum dots.
Our investigations open up the opportunity to use graphene quantum dots as plant growth regulators that can be used in a variety of other food plants for high yield.
我们报告了关于使用石墨烯量子点促进香菜（Coriandrum sativam L.）和大蒜（Allium sativum）植株生长的研究。将收获的香菜和大蒜种子在种植前用0.2毫克/毫升的石墨烯量子点处理3小时。
当种子用石墨烯量子点处理后，石墨烯量子点提高了香菜和大蒜植株的生长速率，包括叶片、根系、茎、花和果实。
我们的研究为将石墨烯量子点用作植物生长调节剂开辟了机会，这种调节剂可用于多种其他食用植物以实现高产。
