Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Multi-walled carbon nanotubes entered tomato seedling roots.
- Intervention effect MWCNT administration promoted tomato lateral root formation approximately dose dependently.
- Intervention effect MWCNTs triggered endogenous nitric oxide production.
- Intervention effect Removal of endogenous NO blocked nanotube-triggered NO synthesis.
- Intervention effect Removal of endogenous NO blocked nanotube-triggered lateral root formation.
- Intervention effect MWCNTs increased nitrate reductase activity.
- Intervention effect Tungstate inhibition of nitrate reductase impaired NO production.
- Intervention effect The NOS-like enzyme inhibitor l-NAME failed to influence lateral root formation.
- Mechanism The authors propose that NO acts downstream in MWCNT control of lateral root development, partly via nitrate reductase.
