Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Nanotubes Induce Growth Enhancement of Tobacco Cells
Mariya V. Khodakovskaya,Kanishka de Silva,Alexandru S. Biris,Enkeleda Dervishi,Hector Villagarcia +4 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have the ability to enhance the growth of tobacco cell culture in a wide range of concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Chemistry of Carbon Nanotubes Impacts the Growth and Expression of Water Channel Protein in Tomato Plants
Hector Villagarcia,Enkeleda Dervishi,Kanishka de Silva,Alexandru S. Biris,Mariya V. Khodakovskaya +4 more
TL;DR: The correlations among the level of aggregation, the type of functional group on the surface of the carbon nanotubes, and the growth performance of tomato plants are documented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Effects of the Long-Term Exposure of Agricultural Crops to Carbon Nanotubes
Mohamed H. Lahiani,Zeid A. Nima,Hector Villagarcia,Alexandru S. Biris,Mariya V. Khodakovskaya +4 more
TL;DR: The results confirmed the significant potential of CBN in plant agriculture, however, the documented presence of MWCNTs in different organs of all exposed crops highlighted the importance of detailed risk assessment of nanocontaminated plants moving into the food chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of tomato growth by expression of truncated ERECTA protein from Arabidopsis thaliana
Hector Villagarcia,Anne-Claire Morin,Anne-Claire Morin,Elena D. Shpak,Mariya V. Khodakovskaya +4 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the significance of ERECTA family genes for development and stress responses in tomato and suggest that truncated ERECTa can be used to manipulate the growth of crop species.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo plant flow cytometry: A first proof‐of‐concept
Dmitry A. Nedosekin,Mariya V. Khodakovskaya,Mariya V. Khodakovskaya,Alexandru S. Biris,Daoyuan Wang,Yang Xu,Hector Villagarcia,Ekaterina I. Galanzha,Vladimir P. Zharov +8 more
TL;DR: In vivo plant flow cytometry is proposed for the real‐time noninvasive study of nanomaterial transport in xylem and phloem plant vascular systems and the use of a portable fiber‐based photoacoustic flow cytometer for studies of plant vasculature was demonstrated.
