Raspberry subcultured tissue seedlings were used as test materials for the effect of different concentrations of graphene on the growth of raspberry seedlings and the development of adventitious roots. The graphene was characterized by a laser particle size analyzer, STEM, TEM, XPS and Raman spectroscopy. A root analysis system and SEM were used to systematically characterize the seedling height, root length, root specific surface area, number of branches, number of root tips and root micromorphology, thus determining the optimum concentration of graphene for the growth of raspberry tissue culture seedlings. The results showed that with increasing graphene concentration, the seedling height, root length, root tip number and root specific surface area of the seedlings all showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. The optimum concentration of graphene was 2 mg·L-1, the seedling height of tissue culture seedlings was 1.46 times that of the control group, and the root length, specific surface area, number of root tips and their bifurcation number were about twice that of the control group.
