Integrated physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses provide insights into zinc-doped carbon quantum dot-mediated alleviation of cadmium toxicity in lettuce.

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in crops seriously threatens agricultural productivity and food safety, highlighting the need for effective strategies to mitigate Cd toxicity. Uniformly dispersed zinc-doped carbon quantum dots (Zn-CQDs; 2.67 ± 0.36 nm) were synthesized in this study. The synthesized dots demonstrated enzyme-...
