Integration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in agriculture and plant biotechnology brought to light vast number of new findings, revealing the capacity of plant nanobiotechnology to support the development of a competitive bioeconomy. This knowledge can promote the adoption of new methodological strategies to empower the large-scale production of biomass from commercially important microalgae. Based on recent advances in plant nanobiotechnology, this study will explore the potential of CNT-based applications to enhance photosynthetic performance of microalgae and their fitness under stressful conditions commonly used to stimulate the production of high-value compounds.

Abstract
Integration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in agriculture and plant biotechnology brought to light vast number of new findings, revealing the capacity of plant nanobiotechnology to support the development of a competitive bioeconomy. This knowledge can promote the adoption of new methodological strategies to empower the large-scale production of biomass from commercially important microalgae. Based on recent advances in plant nanobiotechnology, this study will explore the potential of CNT-based applications to enhance photosynthetic performance of microalgae and their fitness under stressful conditions commonly used to stimulate the production of high-value compounds.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
