AI Article Synopsis
- A dangerous plant pest linked to Pine Wild Disease (PWD) prompted research into the physiological effects of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) synthesized using glucose through hydrothermal reactions.
- The properties of these CQDs varied based on the temperature and time of the reaction, and transcriptome analysis revealed their potential to stimulate detoxification and fatty acid degradation in the pest.
- Observations showed that CQDs significantly affected the pest's locomotion, reproduction, and targeted the intestine as the main organ of influence.
Article Abstract
() is a dangerous plant pest which could result in Pine Wild Disease (PWD). To investigate the physiological activity of and utilize the fluorescent properties of quantum dots, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using glucose as precursor were synthesized through a hydrothermal reaction. The properties of the CQDs strongly depended on the reaction temperature and reaction time. The transcriptome analysis was implemented to study the molecular toxicology mechanism of CQDs on . Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that CQDs have the potential to stimulate the detoxification process and fatty acid degradation mechanism of . Through observing the biodistribution of CQDs, lifespan, locomotion and egg-laying behavior of , the intestine was the main target organ of the CQDs, and the CQDs could affect the locomotion and reproduction activities of .
