Abstract

The phytotoxicity of synthetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on plant growth has been documented. However, the physiological mechanisms associated with it are not clear. The activity of TOR signaling pathway and phytoregulators balance play key roles in plant growth regulation and their stress response.
