摘要
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were found to penetrate tomato seeds and affect their germination and growth rates. The germination Was found to be dramatically higher for seeds that germinated on medium containing CNTs (10-40 mu g/mL) compared to control. Analytical methods indicated that the CNTs are able to penetrate the thick seed coat and support water uptake inside seeds, a process which can affect seed germination and growth of tomato seedlings.
