PBAT microplastics restrain wheat growth, damage root ultrastructure and decrease mineral levels (study)
The results showed that PBAT MPs inhibited wheat growth, damaged the root ultrastructure, and decreased mineral levels; these phenotypic effects are consistent with omics evidence showing downregulation of the TCA cycle metabolism and genes involved in metal ion binding.
