Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and nano-silica (nano-SiO2 ) are widely used in the field of life science because of their special physical and chemical properties. In this study, the effects of different concentrations of MWCNTs (0 mg·L-1 , 200 mg·L-1 , 400 mg·L-1 , 800 mg·L-1 and 1200 mg·L-1 ) and nano-SiO2 (0 mg·L-1 , 150 mg·L-1 , 800 mg·L-1 , 1500 mg·L-1 and 2500 mg·L-1 ) on maize seedling growth and relative mechanisms were explored. The main results are as follows: MWCNTs and nano-SiO2 can promote the growth of maize seedlings, and promote plant height, root length, the dry and fresh weight of seedlings, root-shoot ratio and so on...
