Targeted delivery of nanomaterials with chemical cargoes in plants enabled by a biorecognition motif

Targeted delivery of nanomaterials to subcellular compartments could allow precision engineering of plant function. Here, Santana et al. show that quantum dots functionalized with a rationally-designed targeting peptide are preferentially delivered to chloroplasts where they can be used to tune orga...
