In the agricultural sector, the use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has been acclaimed
as the next big thing for sustaining and increasing crop productivity. A vast amount of …

Nanoplastics (NPs) are accumulating in the soil environment at a rapid rate, which may
cause serious consequences for ecosystems and human health. However, environmental …

Potential adverse effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on marine organisms have received
increased attention in recent years. In contrast, few data are available on terrestrial plants …

Abstract Microfibers (MFs) and cadmium (Cd) are widely distributed in soil ecosystems,
posing a potential threat to soil biota. To explore potential risks of single MFs and in …

Little is known about the effects of microplastics on terrestrial ecosystems, especially
agricultural soils and terrestrial higher plants. Here, rice seedlings were exposed to two …

Rice is known to accumulate cadmium (Cd) in its grains, causing a severe threat to billions
of people worldwide. The possible phytotoxicity and mechanism of 50–200 mg/L …

To understand the nanotoxicity effects on plants, it is necessary to systematically study the
distribution of NPs in vivo. Herein, elemental and particle-imaging techniques were used to …

There is increasing evidence for graphene associated plant growth promotion, however, the
chronic effects of soil-applied graphene remain largely unexplored. The present study …

The low yield and active ingredient content of medicinal plants is always a challenge.
However, nanotechnology offers new tools for enhancing the biomass and metabolism of …

Platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) are increasing in the environment largely due to their wide
use and application in automobile and medical industries. The mechanism of uptake …
