Abstract:

Quantum dots have attracted increasing attention for their special fluorescence properties. The study of quantum dots as labels has emerged as an interdisciplinary subject,involving in physics,chemistry,materials,biology,and beyond. Quantum dots as novel fluorescent probes are becoming a new method of choice for fluorescent labeling in plant biology,and are destined to replace traditional organic fluorescents in cellular and molecular labeling applications. This paper described the advantages,synthesis and bio-adaptive modification,as well as the application,of quantum dots in plant molecule fluorescent labeling. The developing trends and prospects of the application of quantum dots in plant cellular and molecular biology were also discussed in detail.

Key words: quantum dot, fluorescent probe, molecule labeling, plant
