Accounting for ALA Natural Mutations Enhances the Efficiency of Graphene Oxide Nanopriming in Bar-Modified Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Environmental stress poses significant challenges to global agriculture, highlighting the need for resilient crops with optimized stress responses. Nanopriming and genetic modification technologies offer promising solutions. However, the differential effects of nanopriming on genetically modified (GM) and wild-type (WT) plants remain unexplored. Using natural α-linolenic acid (ALA) metabolism mutations as a reference, genetic variation influences resilience under graphene oxide (GO) priming is examined in Arabidopsis thaliana. GO priming increased chlorophyll content by 91.6% in WT plants and 29.6% in GM (bar-gene) plants. Photosynthetic efficiency and quantum yield improved in the WT plants but declined in the GM plants. ALA metabolism mutations exacerbate lipid metabolism disruptions in
