Absorption of Carbon-13 Labelled Fullerene (C) on Rice Seedlings and Effect of Phytohormones on Growth.

This study explores the effects of nanomaterials in rice seedlings using carbon 13 (C)-labelled fullerene (C). The experiment consisted of three groups, one CK and two nano particle groups with C: 100 mg L and 20 mg L. Mass spectrometry indicated higher C abundances in the nano particle groups compared with the CK.

Engineered Nanomaterials Suppress the Soft Rot Disease () and Slow Down the Loss of Nutrient in Sweet Potato.

About 45% of the world's fruit and vegetables are wasted, resulting in postharvest losses and contributing to economic losses ranging from $10 billion to $100 billion worldwide. Soft rot disease caused by leads to postharvest storage losses of sweet potatoes. Nanoscience stands as a new tool in our arsenal against these mounting challenges that will restrict efforts to achieve and maintain global food security.
