Original Abstract

In this paper we presented a method for the preparation and characterization of glutathione-coated near infrared (NIR) QDs (CdSeTe/CdS) with core-shell structure. The preparation method is based on surface modification of hydrophobic core/shell CdSeTe/CdS by glutathione, which makes the QDs water-soluble and stabilized in aqueous solution. The particles were further added to cultivation solution with plants to study their toxicity on one hand and to track their fate with a plant model organism on the other.
