Synthesis optimization of quantum dots! Successfully used as fertilizer to make plants (mizuna) emit light under ultraviolet irradiation!
We would like to introduce our "quantum dot-type nano fertilizer" that we handle. In situations where plants are under stress due to some external environment (such as diseases, weather, or hunger), it has been difficult to visually detect when crops weaken, leading to wasted crops that do not grow. If our product binds to substances (such as H2O2, Ca2+, NO, etc.) generated within the plant due to stress, it will stop emitting light under ultraviolet irradiation, or the state of the spectrum will change. This allows for early detection of crop stress, even if it is not visually apparent. As a result, it enables timely countermeasures, allowing crops to grow healthily until harvest without loss. By detecting these luminescent phenomena, it can be applied to smart agriculture and remote farming. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Features】 ■ Capable of detecting excessive residual pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, etc. ■ Contains and supports essential metal elements for plant growth, such as Zn (zinc), Cu (copper), and Fe (iron), allowing for efficient uptake by plants. ■ Enables efficient delivery of recombinant genes and nucleic acids into plant cells, and they emit light, allowing for tracking. ■ Quantum dots on the leaf surface may have the potential to convert ultraviolet light from sunlight into blue and red light, which accelerates plant growth. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
We are a chemical company that researches, develops, manufactures, and sells cutting-edge materials and technologies in the environmental and energy sectors aimed at building a decarbonized society. We are developing various advanced materials and technologies, including natural biomass-based biodegradable plastics (resins), biomass coating materials, biomass inks, next-generation solar cells, next-generation secondary batteries, next-generation fuel cells, quantum dots, metal-organic frameworks, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, and cellulose nanofibers. Our original brand, Nano Sakura, under GS Alliance, significantly enhances the functional properties of raw materials by "compositing" cellulose nanofibers, which are the main component of plants, with various existing resin materials, resulting in an environmentally friendly, next-generation high-performance advanced material. We also offer products made from 100% natural materials derived from natural biomass waste resources such as wood, plants, bamboo, paper, recycled paper, seaweed, and starch, aiming for a grade with zero petroleum usage, striving to create materials that are as environmentally friendly as possible. We have been selected as a startup support program company by UNOPS, a United Nations-related organization. UNOPS S3i Innovation Centre Japan
