Currently, carbon quantum dots have attracted significant attention due to their unique properties and desirable advantages such as high crystallinity, water solubility, good dispersibility, small size, low toxicity, inexpensive raw materials, high chemical stability, environmental compatibility, low cost, stability under light, desirable charge transfer with advanced electronic conductivity, special thermal and mechanical properties. Carbon quantum dots have diverse applications in various fields, including the fabrication of precise chemical and biological sensors, bioimaging, solar cells, drug tracking, nanomedicine, solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and electrocatalysis. Carbon quantum dot-based biosensors have been used to detect various species such as metal ions, acids, proteins, biotinols, poly peptides, DNA and miRNA, water pollutants, hematin, drugs, vitamins, and other chemicals. In this study, while referring to the properties of carbon quantum dots and some of their fabrication and application methods, the effect of carbon quantum dots on important factors in plants such as growth and development, photosynthesis, absorption and translocation of substances, resistance to biological and non-biological stresses, as well as their application in agriculture, has been investigated.
