Coding and non-coding transcripts modulated by transparent and blue PET micro-nanoplastics in Arabidopsis thaliana
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to transparent and blue PET micro-nanoplastics and analyzed changes in gene expression, including long non-coding RNAs. They found that both colors of plastic particles reduced root growth and altered hundreds of coding and non-coding genetic transcripts. The study reveals that microplastic color and chemical composition may influence how plants respond at the molecular level.
Micro- and Nanoplastics on Plant Functionalities
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics affect plant physiology and function — including germination, root growth, photosynthesis, and nutrient uptake — across a range of crop and wild plant species. Plant uptake of plastic particles is a key mechanism by which microplastic contamination moves from soil into the human food supply, making these effects central to understanding dietary exposure risks.
Physiological and Biochemical Effects of Polystyrene Micro/Nano Plastics on Arabidopsis Thaliana
The effects of Micro/Nano-plastics exposure on plants and their toxic mechanisms: A review from multi-omics perspectives.
AI summary Read the abstract
A multi-omics review of micro/nanoplastic effects on plants found that plastic exposure disrupts gene expression, protein function, and metabolic pathways across multiple plant systems, with potential consequences for crop yield and agricultural food safety.
Navigating microplastic-induced stress in plants: adaptations from physiology to gene regulation
AI summary Read the abstract
A bibliometric analysis of 84 studies (2017-2025) found that microplastic exposure in plants triggers stress pathway upregulation, reduces seed germination by up to 20%, disrupts nutrient uptake, and elevates antioxidant enzyme activity. These plant-level disruptions matter for human health because microplastic contamination of agricultural systems can degrade food quality, reduce crop yields, and create exposure pathways through the vegetables and grains people eat.
