Key Points

This research aims to examine the effects of carbon quantum dots on root growth and stress tolerance in dragonhead under cadmium toxicity.
Evaluated the impact of carbon quantum dots on dragonhead roots exposed to cadmium.
Measured root growth and physiological responses after treatment with CQDs.
Analyzed cadmium uptake in treated and untreated plants.
CQDs led to a significant increase in root growth under cadmium exposure.
Cadmium uptake was reduced in plants treated with CQDs, enhancing stress tolerance.
Physiological responses were restored to healthier levels in CQD-treated dragonhead.

Implication

Shows improved root physiology in dragonhead under cadmium exposure, suggesting CQDs as a protective intervention.

Abstract

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) improved root growth and stress tolerance in Cd-exposed dragonhead by reducing Cd uptake and restoring physiological responses.
