ClearToxicological effects and transcriptome mechanisms of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under stress of quinclorac and polystyrene nanoplastics
Researchers found that combined exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics and the herbicide quinclorac caused greater toxicity to rice than either stressor alone, with transcriptome analysis revealing disrupted pathways in photosynthesis, oxidative stress response, and hormone signaling.
Molecular mechanisms of toxicity and detoxification in rice (Oryza sativa L.) exposed to polystyrene nanoplastics
Researchers studied how polystyrene nanoplastics affect rice seedlings at the molecular level. They found that nanoplastic exposure significantly reduced root and shoot growth by over 50%, while triggering oxidative stress and activating genes related to both toxicity and defense responses. The study provides new insights into how crop plants respond to nanoplastic contamination at the genetic and physiological level.

Researchers studied how polystyrene nanoplastics affect wheat plants at the molecular level using gene expression analysis. They found that nanoplastic exposure disrupted genes involved in photosynthesis, hormone signaling, and stress responses, ultimately reducing plant growth. The study provides new insights into how nanoplastic contamination in agricultural soils could harm crop development at a fundamental biological level.
Toxicity effects of nanoplastics on soybean (Glycine max L.): Mechanisms and transcriptomic analysis
Researchers exposed soybean plants to polystyrene nanoplastics and observed inhibited stem and root growth, increased oxidative stress, and disrupted photosynthesis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that nanoplastics altered the expression of genes involved in plant stress responses, hormone signaling, and metabolic pathways. The study suggests that nanoplastic contamination in agricultural soils could negatively affect crop growth and yield at the molecular level.
Effects of individual and combined polystyrene nanoplastics and phenanthrene on the enzymology, physiology, and transcriptome parameters of rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Researchers conducted a hydroponic experiment to evaluate how polystyrene nanoplastics and phenanthrene, individually and in combination, affect rice plants. The study examined effects on enzyme activity, plant physiology, and gene expression over seven days. Evidence indicates that the combination of nanoplastics with organic pollutants can produce different impacts on crop growth compared to either contaminant alone.
Metabolomics revealing the response of rice (Oryza sativa L.) exposed to polystyrene microplastics
Researchers used metabolomics to investigate how polystyrene microplastics affect rice plants through both laboratory and field experiments. The study found that microplastic exposure reduced shoot biomass in a dose-dependent manner and altered antioxidant enzyme activity, suggesting that microplastics in agricultural soil can stress crops through measurable metabolic changes.
[Physiological and Ecological Response Characteristics and Transcriptomic Change Characteristics of Rice （Oryza sativa）Under Different Microplastic Stresses].
Researchers used transcriptomic analysis to characterize physiological and ecological response characteristics of an aquatic organism exposed to microplastic stress, identifying gene expression changes in pathways related to immune function, oxidative stress, and energy metabolism.
Microplastics affect rice (Oryza sativa L.) quality by interfering metabolite accumulation and energy expenditure pathways: A field study
Researchers conducted a field study examining how polystyrene microplastics affect rice grain quality at the molecular level using metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis. They found that microplastic exposure interfered with metabolite accumulation and energy pathways in the rice plants, ultimately reducing grain quality. The study provides real-world evidence that microplastic contamination in agricultural soils can directly compromise the nutritional quality of a major food crop.
Effects of polystyrene nanoplastics with different functional groups on rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings: Combined transcriptome, enzymology, and physiology
Researchers exposed rice seedlings to polystyrene nanoplastics with different surface chemistries and found that all types reduced plant growth and photosynthetic ability. The amino-modified (positively charged) nanoplastics caused the most severe damage, reducing shoot growth by over 40% and dry weight by more than 70%. The study revealed that different surface modifications trigger distinct biological responses in the plant, affecting everything from ion transport to protein synthesis.
Physiobiochemical and transcriptional responses of tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.) to different doses of polystyrene nanoplastics
Researchers examined how different concentrations of polystyrene nanoplastics affect tobacco plant growth at both the physiological and molecular levels. They found that higher doses caused oxidative stress, reduced photosynthesis, and triggered significant changes in gene expression related to stress responses. The study reveals that nanoplastic toxicity in plants is dose-dependent and involves complex molecular mechanisms beyond simple physical damage.
Polystyrene Nanoplastics Impair Transcriptional Resilience to Salt Stress in Rice
Scientists found that tiny plastic particles (nanoplastics) make it much harder for rice plants to recover from salt stress, even after the stress is removed. The plastic particles disrupt the plants' ability to turn the right genes on and off, preventing them from bouncing back to normal growth. This matters because nanoplastics are increasingly found in our food system, and this research suggests they could harm crop resilience and potentially affect the nutritional quality of foods we eat.
Response of rice (Oryza sativa L.) roots to nanoplastic treatment at seedling stage
Researchers exposed rice seedlings to polystyrene nanoplastics and found that the particles were taken up by the roots, aided by water-transporting proteins in the plant. The nanoplastics triggered oxidative stress, reduced root length, and disrupted carbon metabolism and hormone production in the seedlings. The study raises concerns that nanoplastic contamination in agricultural soils could affect crop growth and potentially enter the human food supply through rice consumption.
Effects of nanoplastics on the growth, transcription, and metabolism of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and synergistic effects in the presence of iron plaque and humic acid
This study examined how nanoplastics affect rice plant growth, finding that the tiny particles were absorbed by roots and entered plant cells. Nanoplastic exposure reduced important enzyme activity and protein levels in roots, disrupting normal plant metabolism. The presence of iron plaque and humic acid in the soil changed how much nanoplastic the plants took up, suggesting that real-world soil conditions play a key role in how crops are affected.
Route-Specific Phytotoxicity: Foliar Polystyrene Nanoplastics Inhibit Rice Photosynthesis
Researchers compared root versus foliar exposure routes for polystyrene nanoplastics in rice plants and found that foliar exposure caused far more sustained damage to photosynthesis. The nanoplastics accumulated in leaves and co-localized with chloroplasts, leading to dramatic reductions in photosynthetic pigments, ATP production, and carbon fixation. The study suggests that airborne nanoplastic deposition on crop leaves may represent an underappreciated route of agricultural harm.
Impact of nanoplastics uptake on modulation of plant metabolism and stress responses: a multi-omics perspective on remediation and tolerance mechanisms
Researchers reviewed how nanoplastics accumulate in plant tissues and disrupt metabolism, finding that these particles impair nutrient uptake, trigger reactive oxygen species overproduction, and alter gene and protein expression, while multi-omics approaches are revealing the molecular stress-response networks that plants use to tolerate or remediate nanoplastic contamination.

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.
