Microplastic stress in plants: effects on plant growth and their remediations

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14

Microplastic (MP) pollution is becoming a global problem due to the resilience, long-term persistence, and robustness of MPs in different ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems, plants are exposed MP stress, thereby affecting overall plant growth development. This review article has critically analyzed effects stress plants. We found that stress-induced reduction physical accompanied by two complementary effects: (i) blockage pores seed coat or roots alter water nutrient uptake, (ii) induction drought increased soil cracking MPs. Nonetheless, physiological under four excessive production ROS, alteration leaf root ionome, (iii) impaired hormonal regulation, (iv) decline chlorophyll photosynthesis. Considering that, we suggested targeting redox regulatory mechanisms could be beneficial improving tolerance plants; however, antioxidant activities highly dependent on species, tissue, type, dose. also indirectly reduces altering productivity. However, MP-induced negative vary presence surface functional groups particle sizes. end, utilization agronomic approaches, including application regulators, biochar, replacing plastic mulch with crop residues, diversification, biological degradation, ameliorate The efficiency these methods MP-type-specific dose-dependent.

Effect of conventional and biodegradable microplastics on the soil-soybean system: A perspective on rhizosphere microbial community and soil element cycling

Environment International, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 190, С. 108781 - 108781

As an exogenous carbon input, microplastics (MPs), especially biodegradable MPs, may significantly disrupt soil microbial communities and element cycling (CNPS cycling), but few studies have focused on this. Here, we assessing the effects of conventional low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), polylactic acid (PLA) MPs rhizosphere CNPS in a soil-soybean system. The results showed that PBAT-MPs PLA-MPs were more detrimental to soybean growth than LDPE-MPs, resulting reduction shoot nitrogen (14.05% 11.84%) biomass (33.80% 28.09%) at podding stage. In addition, dissolved organic (DOC) increased by 20.91% 66.59%, while nitrate (NO

Higher potential leaching of inorganic and organic additives from biodegradable compared to conventional agricultural plastic mulch film

Journal of Hazardous Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 488, С. 137147 - 137147

Plastic mulch films support global food security, however, their composition and the potential release rates of organic, metal metalloid co-contaminants remains relatively unknown. This study evaluates low molecular weight organic additives, content leaching from density polyethylene (LDPE) biodegradable plastic films. We identified 59 non-intentionally added substances in new LDPE (39.8 mg m-2) 60 (129 m-2). The compounds high concern for ecosystem human health (e.g. phthalates, organophosphite antioxidants) was comparable to those (fatty acids, fatty amides, alkanols). However, majority leached have undergone no regulatory scrutiny environmental fate toxicity remain Leaching heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb) relative inert fillers (Ca, Na). higher both metal/metalloid additives (74.6 than (23.7 untargeted approach allowed assessment chemical burden posed individual farms, based on existing use patterns films, with coming raising pollution swapping. research emphasises need include complex mixture when assessing risks presented by balancing yield benefits protection our agricultural soils.
