Transmembrane uptake of polystyrene nanoplastics mediated by aquaporin in tartary buckwheat: Physiological consequence and genomic mechanism

Researchers exposed tartary buckwheat seedlings to polystyrene nanoplastics and discovered that the particles can cross plant cell membranes through aquaporin water channel proteins. The study identified a specific aquaporin gene (FtPIP2;8) as a core mediator of nanoplastic transport into root cells, where the particles triggered significant oxidative stress and impaired plant physiological functions.
