In this study, a comprehensive assessment of the effect of pre-sowing treatment of wheat seeds with fullerenol (PHF [C60(OH)24], 0.1 mg\/L) solution on a number of physiological and biochemical parameters in seedlings under optimal and low temperature (LT, 4 \u00b0C, 5 days) conditions was carried out. Seedlings primed with PHF differed from control variant in accelerated growth (by 27\u201334%), increased biomass (by 10%), larger area of chloroplasts and mesophyll cells (by 40%), more intensive photosynthesis (1.5-fold higher), increased content of chlorophyll a (by 11%), proteins (by 28%) and ascorbic acid, reduced level of MDA and H2O2, decreased SOD activity (by 45%) and a higher level of COR-genes (WCOR15, WCOR726) transcription (p &lt; 0.05). Under LT conditions, PHF nanopriming enhanced photosynthesis intensity by increasing chloroplast area, content of chlorophyll b (by 22%) and proportion of chlorophyll in LHC (by 11%), as well as increasing the expression of RBCS (fourfold higher), content of proline, and COR-gene expression (p &lt; 0.05). All these changes are adaptive and expand the adaptive potential of plants. It is concluded that nanopriming with PHF is an active metabolic modulator that reduces ROS generation and enhances cold acclimation of wheat.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants15172704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T09:20:43Z","timestamp":1788427243000},"page":"2704","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Use of Fullerenol as a Seed Treatment to Maintain the Intensity of Physiological and Biochemical Processes of Wheat in Control and Low-Temperature Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3290-6777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Deryabin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"K.A.
