Quantum dots (QDs) are important in the research and industrial
fields due to their diverse properties and technological
importance. 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, but a comprehensive overview in book form has not been
available to date. This book provides detailed information on
synthesis, functionalization, and the use of various types of
quantum dots for plant systems. It also addresses the current state
of knowledge on sensing mechanisms of QD-based biosensors used for
microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and plant virus
detection. This book also offers in-depth knowledge related to QDs
used for plant growth, nutrients, and plant protection from
micro-organisms. This volume is beneficial as one comprehensive
resource for students, researchers, scientists, technicians,
academicians, and industrialists.
In this study the role of epicuticular wax in transmission of CLCuV
has been studied. Epicuticular waxes plays very important role in
hindering the attachment of insects to the leaves. In this study
the wax deficient mutant plants GaWM3 were used as experimental
plants while Gossypium arboreum (786) were used as negatively
controlled plants as it is reported that whitefly can not transmit
virus in it and G. hirsutum (MNH-93) were taken as negative and
positive control plants because it has severe viral attack in past.
It is important to mention here that GaWM3 were produced in our
laboratory at CEMB from Gossypium arboreum (786) with the only
difference of having 50% less wax than Gossypium arboreum (786). It
was found that the G. hirsutum (MNH-93) was CLCuV positive and G.
arboreum (786) was CLCuV negative. But most strikingly the wax
deficient GaWM3 mutant plants which contain 50% less than G.
arboreum (786) wax were CLCuV positive while the plants from which
these mutants were made (G. arboreum,786) were CLCuV negative. If
wax act act a barrier than, the damage of CLCuV on cotton can be
overcome by by increasing the wax content.
