Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a degradation product of chitosan, is easily accessible, highly bioactive, non-toxic, and well-soluble in water. The effects COS on the qualitative attributes tomato fruits were investigated current study. was administered to plants (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Ruixinghongniu) by foliar spray root irrigation alternate cycles at concentrations 0.5 g·L?1 0.16 g·L?1, r...

Abstract Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have been widely studied in biosensing, imaging, information encryption, and optoelectronic devices due to excellent optical properties, such as photostability, tunable luminescence range, resistance photobleaching. In recent years, CDs explored for use agriculture. Based on their light harvest conversion capacity, well characteristics of easy synthesis lo...

Apple ( Malus × domestica ) growers can incur significant economic losses when fruit drop before they be harvested [preharvest (PFD)]. In some years and cultivars, more than 30% of potential yield lost. Growers frequently apply plant bioregulators to reduce PFD, either via delay in maturity [aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), 1-methylcycolpropene] or inhibition production cell hydrolysis enzymes th...
