ClearExploring the nano-wonders: unveiling the role of Nanoparticles in enhancing salinity and drought tolerance in plants
This review explores how nanoparticles can help plants survive drought and high-salt conditions by protecting cell membranes, boosting photosynthesis, and strengthening antioxidant defenses. While promising for agriculture, the effects of nanoparticles vary depending on their size, shape, and concentration, and their potential toxicity to plants needs further study.
Nanoparticles as catalysts of agricultural revolution: enhancing crop tolerance to abiotic stress: a review
This review looks at how nanoparticles can help crops withstand environmental stresses like drought, salt, and heavy metal contamination. While not directly about microplastics, the research is relevant because nanoparticles and microplastics share similar size ranges and behaviors in soil, and understanding how tiny particles interact with plants helps scientists assess both the risks and potential benefits of nanoscale materials in agriculture.
Perspective Chapter: Plant Abiotic Stress Factors – Current Challenges of Last Decades and Future Threats
This review examines major abiotic stress factors affecting plants — including drought, waterlogging, extreme temperatures, heavy metals, and pollutants — with a focus on molecular-level effects and emerging threats from microplastics, nanoplastics, and nanoparticles. The authors evaluate current understanding of plant stress responses and highlight micro- and nanoplastics as novel stressors introduced by rapid industrialisation that plants have not encountered through evolutionary history.
Bibliometric analysis and review of direct factors implicating the impact of nano and microplastics on crop health and development
This review uses bibliometric analysis to map the research landscape on how nano- and microplastics affect crop health and agricultural productivity. Researchers found that the impacts depend on a complex interplay of factors including particle size, chemical composition, exposure duration, and soil conditions. The evidence indicates that these plastic particles accumulate in plant tissues and can reduce germination and growth rates, posing a growing concern for food security.
How to improve crop photosynthesis more efficiently using nanomaterials: Lessons from a meta-analysis

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.
Unveiling the mechanism of micro-and-nano plastic phytotoxicity on terrestrial plants: A comprehensive review of omics approaches.
This comprehensive review examined how micro-and-nano plastics (MNPs) in terrestrial soils damage plant health by inhibiting water and nutrient uptake, reducing seed germination, impairing photosynthesis, and inducing oxidative stress.
