Beschreibung:
Quantum dots (QDs) is an important area in research and industry due to their diverse properties and increasingly important technological applications. Recently, QDs have been found to be suitable for biological, biomedical, agricultural, and food science applications. Many research articles, review papers, and internet sources have published on the use of QDs to improve plant growth and yield yet a comprehensive overview in book form has not been available before this volume.
