Effect of Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes Functionalized with Indol-3-butyric Acid on the Development of Avena sativa

Microsc Microanal. 2023 Jul 22;29(Suppl 1):39-41. doi: 10.1093/micmic/ozad067.016.

Abstract

In pioneering research, it has been documented that the CNT influences the development of plants through the balance of phytoregulators. Therefore, in this work the objective is to evaluate the effects of CNT functionalized by non-covalent method with indole-3-butyric acid that they have on Avena sativa. The CNT was characterized by FTIR and Raman to confirm functionalization. It was observed that in the germination stage the seeds treated with IBA inhibited germination, however, when functionalizing the CNT with IBA it was observed that the CNT is contributing to counteract this inhibition.
