Summary
This study found that both polyethylene and PVC microplastic stress caused oxidative damage in soybean plants, impairing the structure and function of photosystem II and ultimately reducing net photosynthesis rates, with implications for crop productivity in microplastic-contaminated agricultural soils.
PE and PVC microplastic stress led to oxidative stress in soybean, which affected the structure and function of photosynthetic PSII in soybean, ultimately leading to a decrease in net photosynthetic rate in soybean.
