Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting effects of engineered carbon nanotubes on plants: a review
Meththika Vithanage,Meththika Vithanage,Mihiri Seneviratne,Mahtab Ahmad,Binoy Sarkar,Binoy Sarkar,Yong Sik Ok +6 more
TL;DR: CNT is transpiring as a novel nano-carbon fertilizer in the field of agricultural sciences and can further modify the balance between plant-toxic metals in soil, thereby enhancing the translocation of heavy metal(loids) into the plant system.
