Rhizosphere micro-environment restructuring by foliar 24-epibrassinolide enhances wheat resilience to polyethylene nanoplastics.
INTRODUCTION The stress effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on wheat growth have been increasingly reported. The plant growth regulator 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) shows potential in mitigating abiotic stress, but the mechanisms by which it alleviates NPs toxicity-particularly through root metabolites, rhizosphere metabolites,...
