It was investigated the impact of fullerene С60 carbon nanoparticles on the morphometric parameters of winter wheat. In agriculture, the main sources of carbon input to the soil are of organic origin, at the same time, nanoparticles are new promising means that can improve the assimilation of this element, and considering its functions, the productivity of plants. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of a colloidal solution of C60 fullerene in different concentrations (0.1; 0.2; 0.5; 1.0 μg/ml) on the morphometric indicators of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings. C60 fullerenes in an aqueous colloidal solution were synthesized and characterized in the Institute of Chemistry and Biotechnology of the Technical University of Ilmenau (Germany). Certified winter wheat seeds of two varieties Akter and Patras from the official distributor DSV (Germany) in Ukraine were used in the work. Pre-sowing treatment of the wheat seeds of the experimental groups included their sterilization and soaking in colloidal aqueous solutions of C60 fullerene in concentrations of 0.1 μg/ml, 0.2 μg/ml, 0.5 μg/ml, 1 μg/ml during 2 h 45 min. It was measured the following morphometric parameters: length of shoots, length of roots, total length and raw weight of the plant.
Fullerene C60 at the concentration of 0.2 μg/ml characterized the most pronounced effect on the length of shoots and roots of Akter wheat seedlings, a statistically significant increase of these indicators by 27.0% and 28.1%, respectively, compared to control (untreated) plants. In winter wheat plants of the Patras variety, the fullerene C60 at the concentration of 0.2 μg/ml also caused the most pronounced changes in morphometric indicators, which, however, were not similar in comparison with the Akter variety. On the contrary, the length of Patras wheat shoots decreased by 22.9%, while the total length of plants and their raw weight increased significantly - by 38.9% and 52.9%, respectively, compared to the control group. Thus, it can be proposed that the effects of fullerene C60 depend not only on the dose and method of application, but also on the individual characteristics of the plants and, in particular, their variety.
