Polystyrene nanoparticles induce concerted response of plant defense mechanisms in plant cells

Abstract Recent advances in knowledge suggest that micro- and nanoplastics pose a threat to plant health, however, the responses of plants to this stressor are not well-known. Here we examined the response of plant cell defence mechanisms to nanoparticles of commonly used plastic, polystyrene. We us...
