Abstract: Provided is a carbon-based functional material (simply as FCN or FCN material) and applications thereof. The carbon-based functional material consists of three elements, namely carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, having sp2 carbons as the backbone and functional groups R formed on the surface and/or periphery of a carbon backbone substrate, the R functional groups being a combination of groups such as a hydroxyl, carboxyl, ether bond, epoxy, carbonyl, aldehyde, ester, and alkyl.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, which is used with trace amount, can initiate an active endogenous response of plants, and can obtain expected effects such as growth acceleration and yield increase of the plants. The present invention further provides preparation of a signal carrier material for implementing the method. In the method, by utilizing genetic information stored in the plants, the plants can adapt to an environment through a signal which makes the plants mistakenly perceive, thereby achieving an expected objective. The method is suitable for planting of crops in regions with poor natural conditions or severe climate changes.

Abstract: A novel carbon-based material (abbreviated N-FCN) composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen and application thereof. The raw materials of the novel carbon-based material are derived from natural or simple inorganic matter which provide the four elements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. A composite organic matter is formed at low voltage and low energy and comprises a carbon base in graphite structure, at least one or more composite organic functional groups and an organic small molecule, wherein at least two or more amino acids may be detected in the organic small molecule. The novel carbon-based material may induce an active response of an omanism. After a trace amount of the novel carbon-based material is released into a biological growth environment, the organism will actively respond to the novel carbon-based material.
