Abstract

Carbon dots (CDs) have drawn attention due to their enticing physical, chemical, and surface properties. Besides, good conductivity, low toxicity, environmental friendliness, simple synthetic routes, and comparable optical properties are advantageous features of CDs. Further, recently, CDs have been explored for biological systems, including plants. Among biological systems, only plants form the basis for sustainability and life on Earth. In this Review, we reviewed suitable properties and applications of CDs, such as promoting the growth of agricultural plants, disease resistance, stress tolerance, and target transportation. Summing up the available studies, we believe that the applications of CDs are yet to be explored significantly for innovation and technology-based agriculture.
