Carbon-based nanomaterials have potential applications in nanoenabled agriculture. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying single-walled carbon nanohorn (SWCNH)-mediated plant growth remain unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of SWCNHs onArabidopsisgrown in1/4-strength Murashige and Skoog medium via physiological, genetic, and molecular analyses. Treatment with 0.1 mg/L SWCNHs promoted primary root (PR) growth and lateral root (LR) formation; 50 and 100 mg/L SWCNHs inhibited PR growth. Treatment with 0.1 mg/L SWCNHs increased the lengths of the meristematic and elongation zones, and transcriptomic and genetic analyses confirmed the positive effects of SWCNHs on root tip stem cell niche activity and meristematic cell division potential. Increased expression ofYUC3andYUC5and increased PIN2 abundance improved PR growth and LR development in 0.1 mg/L SWCNH-treated seedlings. Metabolomic analyses revealed that SWCNHs altered the levels of sugars, amino acids, and organic acids, suggesting that SWCNHs reprogrammed carbon/nitrogen metabolism in plants. SWCNHs also regulate plant growth and development by increasing the levels of several secondary metabolites; transcriptomic analyses further supported these results. The present results are valuable for continued use of SWCNHs in agri-nanotechnology, and these molecular approaches could serve as examples for studies on the effects of nanomaterials in plants.
