Abstract:The enormous potential of carbon dots (CDs) in agriculture has been widely reported, whereas their accurate distribution, transformation, and metabolic fate and potential soil health effects are not clearly understood. Herein, 13 C-labeled CDs ( 13 C-CDs) were sprayed on maize leaf, accumulated in all tissues, and promoted photosynthesis. Specifically, 13 C-CDs were internalized to participate in the synthesis of glucose, sucrose, citric acid, glyoxylate, and chlorogenic acid, promoting tricarboxylic acid cycl… Show more
