Selective penetration of fullerenol through pea seedcoat mitigates osmosis-repressed germination via chromatin remodeling and transcriptional reprograming.

Collectively, our study suggests that fullerenol alleviates osmotic stress on various fronts, encompassing antioxidant, transcriptional, and epigenetic levels, which advances our understanding on the working mechanism of this nanomaterial within plant cells.
