The extensive use of plastic products and rapid industrialization have created a universal concern about microplastics (MPs). MPs can pose serious environmental risks when combined with heavy metals. However, current research on the effects hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] plants is insufficient. Herein, 14-day hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate impact PVC (100 200 mg/L) Cr(VI) (5, 10, 20 μM) alone in combination sweet potato. Results showed that affected plant growth parameters significantly, but did not. application resulted decrease height (24-65%), fresh biomass per (36-71%), chlorophyll content (16-34%). bioaccumulation increased increase its doses, highest concentration leaves (16.45 mg/kg), stems (13.81 roots (236.65 mg/kg). MPs-induced inhibition varied doses. Osmolytes antioxidants, lipid peroxidation, H2O2 contents were significantly increased, while antioxidant enzymes except CAT decreased increasing mixed treatments. presence promoted accumulation potato plants, which clearly severe toxic their physio-biochemical characteristics, as indicated by negative correlation between these parameters. not inhibit findings this study provide valuable implications for proper management plants.
