Data_Lozano etal_MPs and seed germination.csv
AI summary Read the abstract
This CSV dataset contains data from an experiment measuring the effects of microplastics of different shapes and polymer types on the germination of Daucus carota seeds, tracking germination velocity, synchrony, and final germination percentage over a 49-day period.
Microplastic effects on seed germination of Daucus carota. Shapes ( fibers, films, foams, and fragments) each one made of 3 different polymer types. Germination was measured on days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49. Germination parameteres were calculated using Germinationmetrics (Percentage of final germination, velocity, and synchrony).

Microplastics of different shapes increase seed germination synchrony while only films and fibers affect seed germination velocity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that microplastics of various shapes — fibers, films, foams, and fragments — increased seed germination synchrony in carrot seeds, while only films and fibers specifically reduced germination speed, suggesting shape-dependent effects on plant establishment.
Lettuce seed germination in the presence of microplastic contamination
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined the effects of microplastic contamination on lettuce seed germination, finding that microplastics in soil altered physiological processes such as water retention and chlorophyll production, with implications for food safety and agricultural ecosystems.
Effects of Microplastics on Germination and Seedlings Growth of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested the effects of different microplastics on wheat seed germination and seedling growth and found that all treatments reduced plant development compared to controls. Polythene-containing microplastic treatments had the most negative impact, with significant reductions in both shoot and root length across wheat varieties.
