Soil-applied polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) remain cortically confined but trigger systemic oxidative and metabolic disruption in Zea mays L. seedlings
Puntos clave
Systemic oxidative and metabolic disruption occurs in seedlings exposed to polystyrene nanoplastics in soil,
Oxidative stress markers increased significantly with nanoplastic exposure, indicating potential harm to plant health.
Analysis involving Zea mays seedlings shows the effects of soil-applied polystyrene nanoplastics on their growth and metabolism.
Findings highlight the environmental risks of using polystyrene nanoplastics in agriculture and the need for further investigation.
