Dataset on the shooting and rooting ability of Morus alba using waste tea residue derived carbon dots as an alternative of growth plant stimulator

The data article ex vitro (vegetative plant propagation) culture techniques are sustainable alternatives to the large-scale production of economically important plant species. Morus alba is an essential species that is mainly considered to be economically important due to their potential use as silk production, medicine and food. In this work, we evaluated the data of effects of different concentration of Waste Tea Residue Carbon Dots (WTR-CDs) on the ex vitro growth of morus. This dataset can be beneficial for researchers finding alternative eco-friendly, biodegradable and cost-friendly substitute for plant growth stimulator that are helpful for plant propagation during plant production program. Time consuming and low germination ratio of seeds are the most restricting triggers for commercial use for large-scale cultivation of plant species. Use of WTR-CDs in ex vitro culture technology is an appropriate alternative approach for large-scale production of plants within a short period of time.
