With increasing plastic manufacture and consumption, microplastics/nanoplastics (MP/NP) pollution has become one of the world's pressing global environmental issues, which poses significant threats to ecosystems human health. In recent years, sharp researches have confirmed that MP/NP had direct or indirect effects on vegetative growth sexual process vascular plant. But potential mechanisms remain ambiguous. particles can be adsorbed and/or absorbed by plant roots leaves thus cause diverse This holistic review aims discuss plant, with special emphasis changes metabolic molecular levels. alter substance energy metabolism, as well shifts in gene expression patterns. Key aspects affected stress include carbon nitrogen amino acids biosynthesis hormone signal transduction, related genes, metabolism those involved pathogen defense. Additionally, provides updated insights into physiological responses plants exposed MP/NP, encompassing phenomena such seed/spore germination, photosynthesis, oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity. By examining impact from both perspectives, this sets stage for future investigations complex interactions between pollutants.
