A review on in vivo and in vitro nanotoxicological studies in plants: A headlight for future targets.

TL;DR: The results of the toxicological studies that have shown the in vitro and in vivo interactions of NMs with plants are summarized to broadly open up different aspects of nanotoxicological investigations.

Effects of graphene oxide on tomato growth in different stages.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of graphene oxide (GO) on tomato plants at the seedling and mature stages in terms of morphological and biochemical indices was assessed. And the results showed that GO treatment significantly improved the shoot/stem growth of tomato in a dose-dependent manner by increasing the cortical cells number, cross-sectional area, diameter and vascular-column area.

Graphene Oxide as an Effective Soil Water Retention Agent Can Confer Drought Stress Tolerance to Paeonia ostii without Toxicity.

TL;DR: GO did not have toxic effects on P. ostii and was an effective soil water retention agent; therefore, it could be economically beneficial for the production of plants under drought stress.

Graphene Quantum Dots' Surface Chemistry Modulates the Sensitivity of Glioblastoma Cells to Chemotherapeutics.

TL;DR: It is shown that surface chemistry modulates GQDs’ biocompatibility and can be adopted as a suitable delivery and therapeutic strategy for the treatment of glioblastoma by both directly destabilizing the cell membrane and indirectly increasing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs.

The rise of graphene

TL;DR: Owing to its unusual electronic spectrum, graphene has led to the emergence of a new paradigm of 'relativistic' condensed-matter physics, where quantum relativistic phenomena can now be mimicked and tested in table-top experiments.
