Effect of hybrid nanostructures based on derivatives of fullerene C60 and vitamin B12 on the germination of wheat seeds (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

The results of this experiment showed the effect of hybrid nanostructures (HNS) based on amino acid derivatives of fullerene C60 and derivatives of vitamin B12 (T1 , T2 ) on the growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds in laboratory. Seeds treated with distilled water were used as the control (T0 ). Seeds treated by complexes T1–T3 pump spraying at the concentration of 10−5 M increased germination to 10–14%, while shoots height increased to 21–34% compared to the control. Treatment with these complexes enabled plants to survive water stress. The relative water content RWC in these samples was 11–21% higher than in the control. The results obtained demonstrate the possibility of using these hybrid compounds to achieve better seedlings and increase the drought resistance of wheat.
