Transcriptomic analyses reveal carbon dot-based seed priming in regulation of root growth in rice
Carbon dots (CDs) can affect plant growth and disease resistance and assist siRNA/DNA delivery. Salvia miltiorrhiza-Derived Carbon Dots were recently found to facilitate plants to adapt to environmental stresses through amplifying Ca2+ signaling and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). More importantly, CDs can be degraded into CO2 and H2O within plant cells, thereby having fewer biosafety issues as compared to those undegradable ones and receiving more attentions in the plant community. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying effects of CD priming on plant growth and development have not been well characterized. In this study, we conducted transcriptomic assays and aim to reveal how CD priming affect root development through transcriptional reprogramming in rice. Overall design: RNA-seq
