Abstract
The controlled and promoted plant growth has been a challenge for the growers worldwide. In this study, we have developed a nanomaterial-assisted green strategy for accelerated plant growth. Although sometimes nanomaterials have been shown to be slightly toxic to plants, but here it is demonstrated that graphene oxide (GO) can be used as a regulator tool for enhancing plant growth and stability. Graphene oxide different concentrations were added to the soil of mung bean.it is proved that with an appropriate amount supplied, graphene oxide had a positive effect on plant growth in terms of increasing the length of roots and shoot, number of leaves, flower initiation, number of root nodules per plant, number of pods and seeds per pod. We believe that bio fabricated graphene oxide may be used as a strategy for enabling the acceleration of both plant growth and rapid and increased number of seeds per plant.
