Aged and nano-sized polylactic acid enhanced arsenic accumulation and phytotoxicity in rice seedlings: Compared with micro-sized polylactic acid
Rice is significantly impacted by the combined pollution of arsenic and plastic during cultivation, raising serious food safety concerns. However, the role of micro(nano)plastics in arsenic accumulation and the underlying toxic mechanisms remains unclear. Therefore, this research employed fluorescent labeling and laser denudation techniques to observe the in-situ distribution of polylactic acid (PLA) and arsenic in rice seedlings, aiming to elucidate the carrier impact of PLA on plant arsenic accumulation. It examined the effects of varying aged and sized PLA on total arsenic accumulation in plants, and investigated the effects of their combined pollution on the metabolic pathways of rice seedlings by untargeted metabolomics to elucidate potential toxic mechanism. The results indicated that PLA was an effective carrier, which co-transported with arsenic through xylem and accumulated in the veins of rice seedlings, thereby increasing total arsenic accumulation. Their combined pollution targeted the TCA cycle and phenylalanine biosynthesis as critical metabolic hubs, thus influenced downstream metabolites associated with oxidative stress resistance and impacted the growth of rice seedlings. This study confirmed the co-transport mechanism of PLA and arsenic via in-situ detection, which will enhance understanding of the mechanisms on which micro(nano)plastics increase the accumulation of heavy metals in plants and their health risks.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
