“…In comparison to chemical plastic polymers, biodegradable plastics seem to represent a larger danger to seed and plant development (Dong et al, 2022;Iqbal et al, 2020). Wang et al (2022) in their recent investigation conclude that the buildup of MNPs and the accompanying damage in plants might have serious consequences for agricultural yield, food safety, and quality, posing a threat to human health. He et al (2018) studied the interaction of MNPs with bacteria.…”

Following the advent of the Industrial Revolution, plastic pollution has been a serious environmental issue while micro-and nano-plastics have been a cynosure of researchers' attention in the twenty-first century. This is due to the improved knowledge of its ecotoxicological effects and the global pushforward towards sustainability. There is a growing concern that the increasing presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in aquatic habitats poses a threat to marine life, and it is predicted that nanoplastics will be just as ubiquitous as macro-and micro-plastics, but far more destructive to living organisms due to their ability to infiltrate cells. Recent research has shown that marine and freshwater biota become entangled with plastic litter, which disrupts the ecosystem. Aquatic creatures are known to absorb and deposit these new pollutants in their digestive systems, as has been documented in several studies. More recent research has also examined their co-occurrence and toxicity with other emerging contaminants, including their prevalence and effects in food, air, and soil. Using articles extracted from a six-year period from Scopus, ACS Publications and Google Scholar, this review explores the origins, fates, occurrence in the food chain, exposure routes, cellular interactions of microplastics and nano-plastics, in addition to the ecotoxicological impacts, analytical methods, and the potential remedies for combating pollution and toxicity. Ultimately, this review is a comprehensive, updated addendum to available reviews on micro-and nano-plastics.

“…Studies using a global meta-analysis based on field/laboratory measurement have shown that undiminished accumulation of microplastics adversely affects crop growth and soil health [47]. It has been reported that the effects of microplastics on plants are affected by the microplastic properties and concentration, such as particle type, size, shape, polymer structure, and vary among plant species [49][50][51].…”

“…In particular, microplastics that are effectively taken from the lateral root regions by the crack-entry mode are then transported from the roots to the shoots via the xylem [92]. Generally, for nanoplastics and occasionally larger microplastics, translocation can occur from leaf to root via stomata or from root to leaf via apoplastic transport [51]. Micro-and nanoplastics on the root surface and root hairs can change the shape of root epidermal cells and block the cell junctions and cell wall pores, thereby preventing root hairs from absorbing water and nutrients, resulting in reduced plant growth [59].…”

Plant Abiotic Stress Responses and Tolerance Mechanisms

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

All life forms, from the simplest to the most complicated, are inevitably exposed to altering environmental conditions in their natural habitats, gradually depending on their lifestyle. Unfavorable alterations drive these life forms either to avoidance or defense as a response. Most of the essential plant growth-promoting environmental factors can also turn out to be stress factors. Water as the most abundant molecule of all living cells can cause stress either in deficit as drought or in excess as waterlogging. Temperature is important for the maintenance of all biomolecules and metabolic reactions; hence, both low and high temperatures are deleterious stress factors. Even though the plants were exposed to various volcanic origin, heavy metals and pollutants and evolved molecular mechanisms during millions year of evolution, rapid urbanization, and industrial progress introduce brand new pollutants as micro- and nanoplastics as well as nanoparticles to plants like never before. This chapter defines and evaluates major environmental abiotic stress factors with an emphasis on the latest knowledge of molecular effects on plants. In addition, novel stress factors, such as nanoparticles and microplastics, are looked over as hot prospects for the future of plant abiotic stress areas.

Soilless culture is emerging as a popular tool to grow agricultural and horticultural crops in open systems, closed systems, protected cultivation, vertical farming, and soil affected or stress-affected areas. The climatic factors and biometabolism are integrated in stimulating quality phenological growth and biochemical and physiological processes in soilless crop production. Soilless crop production (SCP) has immense potential to build a soilless green revolution and for sustaining crop production. Information on substrate and water based culture collected for the period from 1996 to 2022 is reviewed and analyzed in this work. The performance of crops in soilless culture improves morphological and physiological parameters compared with soil based cultivation. The distinct environmental factors positively influence soilless culture to exhibit cellular processes, biological processes, molecular processes, and the ecosystem in the crop. The impacts of ecological factors are more efficient in closed systems compared with open systems. The salient features of metabolites and biometabolism in substrate based media were identified with transcriptome analysis and found to be different compared with soil based cultivation. Developing simple nutrient formulations suited for soilless culture is essential to popularize this technology among marginal farmers.
