Unveiling the mechanism of micro-and-nano plastic phytotoxicity on terrestrial plants: A comprehensive review of omics approaches

Environment International, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 195, P. 109257 - 109257

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Micro-and-nano plastics (MNPs) are pervasive in terrestrial ecosystems and represent an increasing threat to plant health; however, the mechanisms underlying their phytotoxicity remain inadequately understood. MNPs can infiltrate plants through roots or leaves, causing a range of toxic effects, including inhibiting water nutrient uptake, reducing seed germination rates, impeding photosynthesis, resulting oxidative damage within system. The effects complex influenced by various factors size, shape, functional groups, concentration. Recent advancements omics technologies such as proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, microbiomics, coupled with emerging like 4D omics, phenomics, spatial single-cell offer unprecedented insight into physiological, molecular, cellular responses exposure. This literature review synthesizes current findings regarding MNPs-induced phytotoxicity, emphasizing alterations gene expression, protein synthesis, metabolic pathways, physiological disruptions revealed analyses. We summarize how interact structures, disrupt processes, induce stress, ultimately affecting growth productivity. Furthermore, we have identified critical knowledge gaps proposed future research directions, highlighting necessity for integrative studies elucidate pathways toxicity plants. In conclusion, this underscores potential approaches MNPs-phytotoxicity develop strategies mitigating environmental impact on health.

A pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of polyethylene (PE), a broadly utilized polymer type, on soil properties and lettuce growth. Two Zn- Cd-contaminated samples were obtained from urban rural areas Greece, respectively. PE fragments (<5 mm) added at different concentrations (2.5%, 5% w/w). Lettuce seeds then planted in pots completely randomized experiment. Plant growth patterns tissue metal accumulation investigated. The presence soils resulted reduction pH, significantly enhanced organic matter content, increased cation-exchange capacity. availability both metals also increased. Metal migration plant determined using appropriate tools indexes. higher concentration detected roots compared with that edible leaves. MPs (2.5% w/w) amount available Zn more than Cd highly contaminated soils. When agricultural soil, leaves by 9.1% 21.1% (5% Considering microplastics cannot be easily quickly degraded, fact less toxic is plants encouraging. Taking into account physicochemical features, decision makers may able limit risks human health coexistence heavy

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(11), P. 4643 - 4643

Published: May 28, 2024

Microplastics contribute to various environmental issues and serve as carriers for a wide range of toxic compounds such pesticides, pharmaceuticals, metal ions. Consequently, there is gradual shift towards replacing them with biodegradable plastics (bioplastics). However, require specific conditions complete biodegradation, their biodeterioration often leads the rapid production smaller fragments, known microbioplastics. In this review, we summarize selected related impact plastic particles on soil properties microbiome. Findings from numerous studies indicate that both microplastics microbioplastics induce adverse changes in microbiology, potentially increasing abundance soil-borne pathogens. Based these observations, argue could colonies Furthermore, use bioplastics may exacerbate issue due easier faster formation, increased support biofilms, more pronounced effects biota. further research necessary either substantiate or refute perspective.

Effects of microplastic pollution on agricultural soil and crops based on a global meta‐analysis

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 35(2), P. 551 - 567

Published: Oct. 22, 2023

Abstract Agricultural soil serves as a crucial reservoir for microplastics (MPs), necessitating an understanding of their global‐scale environmental impacts and potential risks that they pose to agricultural crops. Little is known about the impact MPs in soils, compared with aquatic sediments, especially effects on crop traits. The purpose our study was explore whether different types, concentrations, sizes, exposure time MPs, well conditions (such pH or organic matter concentration), have properties In addition, differences between enzymes response were detail. Network analysis used understand current research progress soil. Furthermore, utilizing 63 publications 3268 observations, meta‐analysis conducted analyze Our result showed China has contributed most MP research.
