Effects of the Impact of Water-Soluble Forms of Fullerenes and Their Derivatives on Metabolism of Plants and Yield of Agricultural Crops.

The search for effective and environmentally friendly plant growth regulators in modern conditions makes it possible to identify and reduce the impact on plant development, its metabolic processes, the biomass of its various parts, and crops. Substances with the least toxicity to living organisms are of particular interest in this field; in particular, these include C₆₀ and C₇₀ fullerenes and their derivatives. This paper describes the impact of both fullerenes themselves and their derivatives on plant growth, yield, and metabolic and morphological changes observed depending on the processing methods, the chemical structure of the derivative, and the amount of substance used for processing.
