Soil Application of Hydroxylated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Alters the Leaf Transcriptome of Maize (Zea mays L.)
Transcriptomic responses intensified nonlinearly with dose, increasing from 248 differentially expressed genes at low dose to 4,970 at high dose, with a recurring set of defense-, signaling-, structural-, and metabolic modules being progressively amplified.
