microplastics
Microplastics are persistent synthetic particles (1 μm to 5 mm) that accumulate in terrestrial and aquatic environments. For plant science, these particles are important because they can be taken up by plant roots and potentially affect plant physiology, growth, and ecosystem function. Understanding plant-microplastic interactions is essential given the increasing prevalence of microplastic contamination worldwide.
