Comment on 'Carbon and fullerene nanomaterials in plant system'

J Nanobiotechnology. 2016 Apr 12:14:28. doi: 10.1186/s12951-016-0180-2.

Abstract

A recent review article entitled "Carbon and fullerene nanomaterials in plant system" published in this journal, misinterprets a component of our (published) work on the interactions of carbon nanotubes with plants. In this comment, we provide the rationale to counter this misconstruction.

Keywords: Carbon nanotubes; Fe(II); Fe(III); Iron oxidation.
