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.
Exogenously Applied Sodium Nitroprusside Alleviated Cadmium Toxicity in Different Aromatic Rice Cultivars by Improving Nitric Oxide Accumulation and Modulating Oxidative Metabolism
Researchers investigated whether spraying sodium nitroprusside, a compound that releases nitric oxide, could help aromatic rice plants cope with cadmium-contaminated soil. They found that the treatment reduced oxidative stress markers in the plants and improved photosynthesis, yield, and grain quality across three rice varieties. The study suggests that nitric oxide supplementation may offer a practical approach for growing rice more safely in heavy metal-polluted agricultural areas.
Integrative 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.
Ectopic Expression of AeNAC83, a NAC Transcription Factor from Abelmoschus esculentus, Inhibits Growth and Confers Tolerance to Salt Stress in Arabidopsis
Researchers found that the NAC transcription factor AeNAC83 from okra inhibits plant growth while conferring salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis, with gene silencing increasing biomass but reducing salt resistance, revealing a growth-stress tolerance trade-off mediated by this transcription factor.
Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis revealed the toxicity mechanism of individual or combined of microplastic and salt stress on maize
Researchers studied how polystyrene microplastics combined with salt stress affect maize seedlings, finding that the combination reduced plant growth by nearly 74%, far worse than either stressor alone. 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.
As(III)-oxidizing bacteria alleviate arsenite toxicity via reducing As accumulation, elevating antioxidative activities and modulating ionome in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Researchers found that inoculating rice plants with arsenic-oxidizing bacteria significantly reduced arsenic accumulation in shoots, improved antioxidant defenses, and rebalanced nutrient uptake, suggesting a promising biological strategy to reduce arsenic stress in paddy agriculture.
Exogenous spermine alleviates the negative effects of combined salinity and paraquat in tomato plants by decreasing stress-induced oxidative damage
Exogenous spermine application reduced leaf damage and improved photosynthetic function and growth of tomato plants under combined salinity and paraquat herbicide stress, with the protective effect attributed to decreased hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde accumulation.
Effect of chilling and salinity stress on photosynthetic performance and ultrastructure of chloroplast in faba beans (Vicia faba L.) leaves
Researchers studied how chilling and salinity stress, individually and combined, affect photosynthesis and chloroplast structure in faba bean plants. The study found that while both stresses reduced photosynthetic performance, chilling exposure actually improved the plant's tolerance to salt stress by helping maintain chloroplast structure and stomatal function.
Transcriptomic and metabolomic changes in lettuce triggered by microplastics-stress
Researchers grew lettuce in water containing polystyrene microplastics and found that the particles accumulated in root tips and leaf veins, causing water loss stress and changes in gene expression. The plants responded by activating stress defense systems and altering their metabolism, including increased production of protective compounds in root secretions. This study provides molecular-level evidence that microplastics can stress food crops and change their biology, raising questions about the safety and nutritional quality of vegetables grown in contaminated environments.

Preliminary Analysis of the Salt-Tolerance Mechanisms of Different Varieties of Dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum Hand.-Mazz.) Under Salt Stress
Despite its title referencing salt tolerance in dandelion varieties, this paper studies how dandelion plants respond to soil salt stress at the molecular and metabolic level — not microplastic pollution. It examines transcriptomic and metabolomic changes under salt conditions and is not relevant to microplastics or human health.

Researchers tested how the salt-tolerant plant Sesuvium portulacastrum responds to increasing concentrations of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal. The plant showed strong antioxidant defense mechanisms at lower cadmium levels but experienced significant cellular damage at higher concentrations, including disruption to chloroplasts and mitochondria. The findings suggest this species has moderate tolerance to heavy metal stress, which could make it useful for cleaning up contaminated environments.
