Carbon nanoparticles are widely studied for affecting crop production in agriculture. Considering their potential threats to the crops, especially under drought stress, is important for carbon nanoparticle application. However, the influence of polyhydroxy fullerene-fullerol on drought tolerance at the physiological and molecular levels in Brassica napus remains unclear.

Although exogenous ALA could enhance photosynthesis and biomass accumulation in plants under stress conditions, the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms governed by ALA in promoting salt tolerance in Brassica napus L. are not yet clearly understood.
