Plant cells of many plant species, grown in large industrial vats, find extensive use in producing medical and commercial products and plants for agriculture.
Carbon nanotubes can double growth of cell cultures important in industry
ACS Nano
A dose of carbon nanotubes more than doubles the growth rate of plant cell cultures — workhorses in the production of everything from lifesaving medications to sweeteners to dyes and perfumes — researchers are reporting. Their study, the first to show that carbon nanotubes boost plant cell division and growth, appears in the journal ACS Nano.
