ClearMicroplastics in soil–plant systems: impacts on soil health, plant toxicity, and multiomics insights
This review synthesizes current knowledge on how microplastics affect soil health and plant growth in agricultural systems, with insights from advanced omics technologies. Researchers found that microplastics degrade soil structure, disrupt nutrient cycles, alter microbial communities, and can be taken up by plant roots, triggering oxidative stress and impaired growth. The study highlights how transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics are revealing the molecular-level stress responses plants mount against microplastic exposure.
The Role of Omics Technology in Evaluating Plastic Pollution’s Effects on Plants: A Comprehensive Review
This comprehensive review examines how omics technologies (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics) are being applied to understand the molecular mechanisms by which micro- and nanoplastics damage plants, including oxidative stress, stunted growth, and disrupted soil microbiomes.
Regulatory Mechanisms of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria in Alleviating Microplastic and Heavy Metal Combined Pollution: Insights from Plant Growth and Metagenomic Analysis
Researchers used metagenomic sequencing to investigate how plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) mitigate the combined toxicity of microplastics and heavy metals on plant growth. PGPB inoculation restored rhizosphere microbial function and reduced plant stress, revealing microbiome-mediated mechanisms for alleviating mixed pollutant toxicity.
Effects of micro and nanoplastics on plant-assisted bioremediation for contaminated soil recovery: A review
This review examines how the growing presence of micro- and nanoplastics in contaminated soils affects plant-assisted bioremediation, finding that microplastics disrupt the plant-microbe rhizosphere interactions that make phytoremediation effective for removing heavy metals and degrading organic pollutants.
Root traits and rhizosphere responses as emerging bioindicators of microplastic pollution in agricultural soils: A review
This review examines how microplastic pollution in agricultural soils disrupts root growth, nutrient uptake, and the beneficial interactions between plant roots and soil microbes. Researchers found that microplastics can alter root exudation patterns, change soil structure, and shift microbial communities around roots in ways that may impair crop productivity. The study proposes that root traits and rhizosphere responses could serve as early warning indicators of microplastic contamination in farmland.
Effect of microplastics on the soil-plant system: A perspective on rhizosphere microbial community and soil element cycling
This study provides supporting dataset for a review examining how microplastics affect soil-plant systems, with a focus on rhizosphere microbial community composition and element cycling processes in contaminated soils.
Multiomics Insights into the Ecotoxicological Effects of Soil Microplastics on Crop Plants
This review summarizes two decades of research on how soil microplastics affect crop plants, drawing on multiomics approaches including genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. Researchers found that microplastics absorbed by crop roots and leaves can travel to reproductive organs, causing oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and disrupted nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. The study highlights that microplastic concentrations in intensive farming regions have reached significant levels.
Aging microplastic aggravates the pollution of heavy metals in rhizosphere biofilms
Researchers found that aging microplastics aggravate heavy metal pollution in rhizosphere biofilms, with weathered MPs accumulating more metals and altering microbial community structure in the root zone, potentially increasing contaminant transfer to plants.
Transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics interventions prompt crop improvement against metal(loid) toxicity
This review examines how advanced molecular analysis tools -- transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics -- are helping scientists understand how plants respond to toxic metals in contaminated soil. While focused on metal toxicity rather than microplastics directly, these same tools are being used to study how microplastics interact with heavy metals to create combined threats to crop safety and human health.
Polyethylene microplastics induce microbial functional reprogramming via rhizosphere network disruption, accelerating soil decline
Researchers used metabolomics and metagenomics to study how polyethylene microplastics affect the rhizosphere ecosystem of the medicinal plant Angelica sinensis. The study found that increasing microplastic concentrations disrupted microbial network stability, shifted metabolic pathways toward stress adaptation, and reduced soil quality, with bacteria serving as primary regulatory hubs in mediating these ecosystem-level changes.
Phytoremediation of Co-Contaminated Environments: A Review of Microplastic and Heavy Metal/Organic Pollutant Interactions and Plant-Based Removal Approaches
This review examined how microplastics interact with heavy metals and organic pollutants in soil and how plants can be used to clean up these mixed contamination scenarios. Researchers found that microplastics can either increase or decrease the toxicity of co-pollutants depending on their chemical properties, and emerging approaches like genetically modified plants and microbial partnerships show promise for improving cleanup efforts.
Impact of Nanoplastic Contamination on Rhizosphere Microbiome and Plant Phenotype
This study examined how nanoplastic contamination affects the rhizosphere microbiome (soil bacteria around plant roots) and plant growth. Nanoplastic exposure altered soil microbial communities and reduced plant growth, suggesting these tiny plastic particles could disrupt the soil ecosystems that support food production.
Exploring omics solutions to reduce micro/nanoplastic toxicity in plants: A comprehensive overview
This review summarizes how advanced biological analysis techniques are being used to understand how micro- and nanoplastics harm crops by disrupting water uptake, nutrient absorption, and photosynthesis. Since these tiny plastic particles accumulate in agricultural soil and can enter the food chain, the research highlights a potential pathway for microplastics to reach humans through the food we eat.
Extraction of Microplastics from Rhizosphere
This chapter reviews methods for extracting microplastics from the rhizosphere -- the soil zone surrounding plant roots -- where microplastics from consumer products, synthetic textiles, tires, and mulching films accumulate. The authors discuss the hazardous impact of rhizospheric microplastic contamination and the analytical challenges of isolating particles from complex soil matrices.
Effects of nanoplastics and compound pollutants containing nanoplastics on plants, microorganisms and rhizosphere systems: A review
This review summarizes how nanoplastics, the tiniest plastic particles, affect plants, soil microorganisms, and the root zone where they interact. Nanoplastics can disrupt photosynthesis, alter gene activity, and reduce microbial diversity, and their harmful effects get worse when they combine with heavy metals or other pollutants. Since plant roots are a key pathway for nanoplastics to enter the food chain, these effects could ultimately impact the safety and nutritional quality of the food we eat.

Effects of micro(nano)plastics on higher plants and the rhizosphere environment
This review examines how micro- and nanoplastics affect higher plants and the soil environment around their roots. Researchers found that these particles can be absorbed through roots and transported to other plant tissues, causing oxidative stress and disrupting photosynthesis, metabolism, and gene expression. The study highlights that plastic pollution in soil threatens not only plant health but also the broader rhizosphere ecosystem that supports agriculture.
