Currently, there is a lack of information about the influence of foliar-applied nanoplastics on
crop growth and nutritional quality. To fill the knowledge gap, soil-grown lettuces (Lactuca …

Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global concern. However, the
understanding of their ecological effects on terrestrial plants is still limited. We conducted the …

Microplastics pollution in farmlands has become a major concern. However, few studies
have assessed the effects of microplastics on higher plants. In this study, we investigated the …

Micro-and nano-plastics are common emerging pollutants of great interest. However, the
impacts of them on terrestrial plants were still poorly understood. In this study, comparative …

The ubiquity of plastic pollution has emerged as a perplexing issue for aquatic and terrestrial
plants. To assess the toxic effects of polystyrene NPs (PS-NPs, 80 nm), we conducted a …

Plastic particles originate from the daily use of plastics and have become a new form of
pollutant. However, the effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on higher plants remain largely …

Microplastic pollution in farmlands has become a source of major concern, but few previous
studies have focused on the effect of microplastics on higher plants. In this study, the …

Heavy metals are widely distributed in soil ecosystems, posing a potential threat to soil biota.
Micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs) can impact the accumulation of heavy metals in plants …

Abstract Polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs,< 100 nm), an artificial pollutant that is
widespread in the environment, can be assimilated by plants to alter plant gene expression …

Micro and nanoplastics are new generation contaminants of global concern. It is important to
evaluate the effects on edible products due to the presence of micro-and nano-sized plastics …
