ClearIntegrative phenotypic-transcriptomic analysis of soybean plants subjected to multifactorial stress combination
Researchers subjected soybean plants to combinations of three or more simultaneous abiotic stresses (multifactorial stress combination) and used integrative phenotypic-transcriptomic analysis to characterize responses, finding that MFSC caused more severe growth decline than any individual stress. The study identifies transcriptomic signatures of multifactorial stress and highlights how climate change-associated combined stressors threaten crop production.
Integrated Physiological, Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses of the Response of Rice to Aniline Toxicity
Researchers used physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses to study how rice plants respond to aniline, a chemical pollutant derived from plastics and industrial processes. They found that low concentrations slightly promoted growth, but higher levels significantly inhibited rice development and activated stress response pathways. The study provides molecular-level insights into how this common industrial contaminant affects crop plants.

This review synthesizes research on how pesticide exposure affects rice plants at the molecular level, drawing on transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studies. Researchers found that pesticides trigger detoxification enzymes, alter antioxidant defenses, and reprogram metabolic pathways in rice. The study highlights how integrating multiple omics approaches can provide a more complete picture of pesticide stress responses in crops.
Current methods and future needs for visible and non-visible detection of plant stress responses
This review examines current and emerging methods for detecting plant stress responses, from molecular-level techniques like genomics and metabolomics to whole-plant remote sensing approaches. Researchers highlight that climate change is creating more complex combinations of stresses that no single detection technology can fully capture. The study calls for integrative multi-omic approaches that connect cellular changes to visible plant-level symptoms for more effective agricultural stress management.
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.
Multi‐Omics Insights Into Phenylpropanoid and Lipid Barrier Biosynthesis in Maize Roots Under Salt and Microplastic Stresses
Researchers used transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to investigate how polystyrene microplastics and salt stress — individually and in combination — affect phenylpropanoid and lipid barrier biosynthesis in maize seedling roots, finding that combined stresses alter molecular defence pathways in ways distinct from either stressor alone.
A Spatially‐Resolved Framework Reveals Contrasting Root and Leaf Strategies to Nanoplastic‐Arsenic Stress in Rice
This study used a new statistical framework to show that rice roots and leaves respond very differently when exposed to both nanoplastics and arsenic simultaneously: roots mount a straightforward additive defense, while leaves show complex antagonistic molecular interactions centred on iron storage. The finding is important for food safety because it reveals that standard toxicity tests on individual stressors may underestimate the risks posed by contaminant mixtures in food crops.
Mitigation of microplastic toxicity in soybean by synthetic bacterial community and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi interaction: Altering carbohydrate metabolism, hormonal transduction, and genes associated with lipid and protein metabolism
Researchers found that inoculating soybean plants with a combination of mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria helped protect them from microplastic-induced stress, improving biomass, seed quality, antioxidant defenses, and hormone balance. The study suggests that soil microbe communities could be harnessed as a sustainable strategy to help crops cope with growing microplastic contamination in agricultural soils.
Integrative Physiological and Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Mechanism of Cd Tolerance in Sinapis alba
This paper is not about microplastics; it uses transcriptomics and physiological measurements to understand how white mustard (Sinapis alba) tolerates cadmium heavy metal stress at the molecular level.
The effects of multifactorial stress combination on rice and maize
Researchers studied how combinations of three or more simultaneous low-level stresses, termed multifactorial stress combination, affect commercial rice and maize crops. They found that even when individual stresses like salinity, heat, herbicide exposure, nutrient deficiency, and heavy metal contamination were each too mild to cause harm alone, their combination significantly reduced plant growth and biomass. The study reveals substantial genetic variability in crop responses to these combined stressors, suggesting some varieties may be more resilient than others.

Researchers used gel-free proteomic analysis to examine the combined effects of silver nanoparticles with nicotinic acid and potassium nitrate on plant physiology, revealing altered protein expression profiles that indicate distinct interaction mechanisms between inorganic and organic co-exposures. The findings highlight the complexity of nanoparticle toxicity in agricultural contexts where multiple agrochemicals are present.
Phytotoxicity Alleviation of Imazethapyr to Non-target Plant Wheat: Active Regulation Between Auxin and DIMBOA

Integrated physiological, metabolomic, and transcriptomic responses of maize (Zea mays) and soybean (Glycine max) to nanoplastic-induced stress
Researchers exposed maize and soybean crops to polyethylene and polypropylene nanoplastics in soil and found that high concentrations suppressed plant growth and caused oxidative stress in both species. The nanoplastics accumulated in plant roots and disrupted normal gene activity and metabolism, with soybeans being more sensitive than maize. These findings raise concerns about food crop quality and safety as nanoplastic contamination of agricultural soil increases.

Gene and metabolite analysis revealed that the combined stress severely disrupted energy production, antioxidant defenses, and hormone signaling in the plants. This is relevant to food security because microplastic-contaminated agricultural soils with high salt levels could dramatically reduce crop yields.
