Durum wheat under plastic pressure: genotype-specific adaptation to polystyrene nanoplastics.

Abstract excerpt

An emerging and underestimated threat to crop productivity and food safety stems from the increasing presence of nanoplastics, particularly polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs), in agricultural soils, a challenge further intensified by climate change. Although the phytotoxicity of NPs has been examined in several crop species, their impact on Triticum turgidum ssp. durum, a crop of significant nutritional importance...
