The nano-carbon graphene has unique structural and physicochemical properties, which are conducive to various biomedical applications. We assessed the effect of graphene oxide (GO) on tomato plants at the seedling and mature stages in terms of morphological and biochemical indices. GO treatment significantly improved the shoot/stem growth of tomato in a dose-dependent manner by increasing the cortical cells number, cross-sectional area, diameter and vascular-column area. In addition, GO also promoted the morphological development of the root system and increased biomass accumulation. The surface area of root tips and hairs of tomato plants treated with 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L GO were significantly greater compared to the untreated control. At the molecular level, GO induced the expression of root development-related genes (SlExt1 and LeCTR1) and inhibited the auxin-responsive gene (SlIAA3). However, 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L GO significantly increased the root auxin content, which in turn increased the number of fruits and hastened fruit ripening compared to the control plants. Taken together, GO can improve the tomato growth when used at the appropriate concentration, and is a promising nano-carbon material for agricultural use |
